About the EUR/CHF exchange rate
EUR/CHF carries more central-bank history than almost any pair: from 2011 to 2015 the SNB enforced a hard floor at 1.20 francs per euro, and its sudden removal in January 2015 caused one of the largest instant currency moves ever recorded (nearly 30% in minutes). The franc has since strengthened through parity, reflecting its enduring safe-haven role.
Euro (EUR)
The Euro is the official currency of 20 European Union countries and the second-most traded currency in the world. Introduced in 1999 (cash from 2002), it replaced national currencies like the Deutsche Mark and French Franc. Its value reflects eurozone-wide inflation, ECB rate decisions, and the economic health of its largest members — Germany in particular.
Swiss Franc (CHF)
The Swiss Franc is the world’s pre-eminent safe-haven currency, backed by Switzerland’s political neutrality, low inflation, and strong banking system. In times of geopolitical stress or market turmoil, money flows into francs and CHF appreciates. The SNB has historically intervened to prevent the franc from becoming too strong, most famously with the 2011–2015 EUR/CHF floor.

- What is the current EUR to CHF exchange rate?
- The live mid-market rate is shown at the top of this page and refreshes on every visit.
- Is this the rate I will get from my bank or transfer service?
- Not exactly. This page shows the mid-market rate — the midpoint between global buy and sell prices, and the fairest benchmark available. Banks and money-transfer services add a margin (typically 0.5%–4%) on top, plus possible fixed fees. Use the mid-market rate here to judge how good an offered EUR→CHF rate really is.
- How often is the EUR/CHF rate updated?
- Rates come from an open exchange-rate feed that updates daily, sourced from central-bank and market data. Euro rates are influenced by the European Central Bank (ECB), and Swiss Franc rates by the Swiss National Bank (SNB). For high-volatility pairs, always re-check just before you transact.
- Is my conversion data private?
- Yes. The amount you type never leaves your browser — only the public rate table for EUR is fetched over the network. No sign-up, no cookies required for the calculation, no limits.
