About the USD/CHF exchange rate
USD/CHF — known to traders as “Swissie” — pits the world’s reserve currency against its favourite safe haven. The franc has appreciated against the dollar over the very long run, reflecting Switzerland’s persistently low inflation. In crisis periods the pair can move fast as money floods into francs; in calm markets it is one of the steadier major rates.
US Dollar (USD)
The US Dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency and is on one side of nearly 90% of all foreign-exchange trades. Commodities such as oil and gold are priced in dollars globally, so USD moves ripple through almost every other currency. Its value is driven largely by US Federal Reserve interest-rate policy, US employment and inflation data, and global demand for safe-haven assets.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current USD 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 USD→CHF rate really is.
How often is the USD/CHF rate updated?
Rates come from an open exchange-rate feed that updates daily, sourced from central-bank and market data. US Dollar rates are influenced by the Federal Reserve (the Fed), and Swiss Franc rates by the Swiss National Bank (SNB). For high-volatility pairs, always re-check just before you transact.
