Convert Swiss Franc (CHF) to British Pound (GBP)

When to use CHF → GBP

CHF to GBP is the natural reference for Swiss-resident pensioners with UK-source income (a small but established demographic), and for the substantial Swiss watch, pharma, and machinery exports into the UK. Brexit-era volatility widened the typical retail spread on this pair somewhat; it has since narrowed but remains modestly wider than the corresponding USD or EUR conversion. The ECB publishes both CHF and GBP daily references; this rate is the cross.

Where do these rates come from?

The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.

How often is the rate updated?

Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.

Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?

Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.

Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?

Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).

What's a 'mid-market' rate?

The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
