Recent forecasts for the CHF/AUD exchange rate suggest a complex interplay of factors that could impact both currencies. The Swiss franc (CHF) has recently appreciated significantly, reaching a decade high above 1.22 against the USD, driven largely by safe-haven demand amidst ongoing trade tensions and tariff negotiations. Analysts note that this trend towards the CHF's strength is unlikely to diminish in the short term as geopolitical uncertainties persist, particularly with U.S. policy creating ripple effects across global markets.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Swiss franc to Australian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Australian dollar with Swiss franc, then it's better for the CHF/AUD 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.
