Forecasts for CAD to CHF

 

The exchange rate forecast for the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the Swiss franc (CHF) suggests a cautious outlook in the near term. Recently, despite an increase in oil prices, the CAD has weakened, reflecting fears of potential interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada (BoC) following an anticipated fall in Canadian producer prices. Analysts note that the CAD, heavily influenced by commodity prices, particularly oil, may remain under pressure unless commodity prices stabilize or improve.

How to get a good CAD to CHF exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to Swiss franc:

  1. Shop around for the best CAD/CHF exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the CAD/CHF rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both CAD and CHF at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Swiss franc with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/CHF exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Swiss laws expats should be aware of

There are a few laws and regulations in Switzerland that expats may need to be aware of:

  1. Check travel advisories: Before planning your trip, check the latest travel advisories and security information from your government's foreign affairs department or equivalent, to stay informed about the most current safety and security risks.

  2. Get vaccinated: Check with your healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist to ensure that you are up to date on any required or recommended vaccinations for travel to the DRC.

  3. Plan your route carefully: Avoid traveling to areas that are considered to be dangerous or that have ongoing conflicts. Some parts of the country are completely off-limits to foreigners, so be sure to plan your route and accommodations accordingly.

  4. Be prepared for unexpected delays: The DRC has a poorly developed infrastructure and transport can be unreliable. Be prepared for flight delays, cancellations, or other transport-related issues.

  5. Be aware of the local laws: Be sure to familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs of the DRC to avoid any misunderstandings or legal issues.

  6. Have emergency contact: Make sure someone know your itinerary, and contact information for emergency and consular assistance.

  7. Have contact of good medical facilities and emergency medical evacuation services in case of any emergency situation.

Expats should be aware of these laws and regulations, and should consult with the local authorities and/or a legal professional if they have any questions or concerns. It's always good to check with the local authorities if something is not clear.

What are the property purchase restrictions and fees for foreigners in Switzerland?

Switzerland has some restrictions and additional fees that may apply to property purchases by foreigners. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

  1. Restrictions on second homes: In some cantons (regions) and municipalities, there may be restrictions on the purchase of second homes by foreigners, particularly in popular ski and tourist areas. These restrictions are usually put in place to prevent the local housing market from becoming too expensive for residents.

  2. Additional fees: Foreigners may be subject to additional taxes and fees when purchasing property in Switzerland. These can include a federal withholding tax of 3% on the purchase price, as well as cantonal and municipal taxes.

  3. Permits: In some cases, foreigners may also be required to obtain a permit from the local authorities in order to purchase property in Switzerland, which can take some time to process and may involve additional fees.

  4. Rental properties: If you are planning to purchase a property as a rental, be aware that some cantons have restrictions on short-term rentals, and also have strict regulations that must be followed.

  5. Mortgages: Foreigners may also find it more difficult to obtain a mortgage from a Swiss bank, as the lending criteria may be different from what they are used to. They may also be required to provide a larger deposit, or to pay higher interest rates.

  6. Inheritance Tax: Switzerland does not have a federal inheritance tax but some cantons do have an inheritance tax, which can be significant in some cases.

It's worth noting that these rules and regulations can vary depending on the location and the specific property being purchased, so it's important to do your research and consult with a local real estate professional, lawyer or a tax expert to ensure you understand the requirements and costs associated with purchasing property in Switzerland as a foreigner.
