Convert US Dollar (USD) to Swiss Franc (CHF)

When to use USD → CHF

USD to CHF is shaped by the Swiss National Bank's interventions: the SNB removed the EUR/CHF floor in January 2015 in a single move that caused franc-denominated mortgage-holders across central Europe to face overnight 15–20 % balance jumps. The franc remains a safe-haven currency that strengthens during geopolitical stress. The rate shown derives from the ECB's daily CHF reference. Switzerland's financial system uses both CHF and EUR pricing routinely; cross-border shoppers from Germany or France should compare totals in both rather than trusting the till's offered conversion.

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.
