About

Who is SUISA?

SUISA is the collective management organisation (CMO) for authors' rights in music in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Structured as a non-profit cooperative society, it manages the rights of composers, lyricists and music publishers, collecting licence fees whenever their works are performed publicly, broadcast, streamed or reproduced, and redistributing the proceeds to rightsholders as royalties. Its roots reach back to 1923 with the founding of its predecessor, MECHANLIZENZ; the organisation adopted the name SUISA on 1 January 1942 under the Swiss federal legislation on the collective administration of authors' rights. It is headquartered in Zurich, with additional offices in Lausanne and Lugano.

As a cooperative, SUISA is owned by its members. It represents over 45,000 composers, lyricists and music publishers across all genres, and through reciprocal agreements with more than 100 sister societies worldwide it administers the repertoire of roughly two million rightsholders. After deducting administrative costs, it distributes collected income to entitled parties. For digital rights, SUISA operates through subsidiaries and partnerships: it founded SUISA Digital Licensing AG (based in Liechtenstein) and, in 2017, launched the joint venture Mint Digital Services with US organisation SESAC to license and administer online use of musical works on a multi-territorial, Europe-wide basis.

In 2024, the SUISA Group — comprising the SUISA cooperative and its subsidiary SUISA Digital Licensing AG — reported operating income of CHF 219.5 million, up 6.3% year-on-year, with turnover rising 6% to CHF 209.9 million. Online rights managed worldwide grew 22.8% to CHF 58.1 million, while performance-rights income reached CHF 60.4 million. On the enforcement side, SUISA Digital Licensing filed suit in 2024 against Elon Musk's platform X, alleging it used music without a licence — reflecting the organisation's continued push to secure fair remuneration for authors from digital platforms.

What is SUISA?

SUISA is the Swiss collective management organisation for authors' rights in music, covering Switzerland and Liechtenstein. A non-profit cooperative representing over 45,000 composers, lyricists and publishers, it licenses the use of musical works and distributes the resulting royalties to rightsholders.

Does Reprtoir process SUISA royalty statements?

Yes. SUISA’s statements are ingested and reconciled against your catalog automatically — matched to releases, tracks and contracts, ready to split.

Am I locked to SUISA if I use Reprtoir?

Not by Reprtoir. Reprtoir is a tool for managing and delivering your catalog — your data and stable identifiers stay yours and portable, so nothing on our side ties you down. Any commitment to SUISA, however, is governed by your own agreement with SUISA, not by us — that’s yours to negotiate directly with them.

Does Reprtoir set up my SUISA account or support my SUISA deal?

No. Reprtoir doesn’t introduce you to SUISA or broker that relationship, and we don’t provide support for what happens on SUISA’s side. Your SUISA account, deal terms and any issues there are handled directly with SUISA — Reprtoir looks after your catalog, delivery and reconciliation on your side.
