The USD/CHF exchange rate has recently seen the dollar at a 60-day low, hovering near the 0.8800 mark, which is 1.8% below its 3-month average of 0.8959. The dollar has traded within a relatively stable range between 0.8779 and 0.9212, showing a moderate level of volatility. According to a Reuters poll of forex strategists, the dollar's strength, bolstered by solid U.S. economic performance and high Treasury yields, is creating a competitive environment for other major currencies. This robustness, fueled by global growth concerns and fluctuating risk appetite, especially in relation to China, has provided the dollar with a strong backbone. Despite this, expert forecasts suggest a slight shift in momentum, with a gradual weakening of the dollar anticipated next year, particularly as the Federal Reserve approaches an interest rate cut. This implies that the USD's resilience may persist into 2024, with changes likely on the monetary horizon.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Swiss franc:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Swiss franc with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/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.
It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.
To help with this you can add USD/CHF to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our FX Alerts work differently. Once you add a currency pair for tracking in your watchlist we can select to be notified daily for any UP▲ DOWN▼ HIGH▲ LOW▼ alerts over a range of periods over the recent 90 days.
