The USD to CHF exchange rate is currently experiencing fluctuations due to various economic indicators and geopolitical developments. Recent analyses indicate that the US dollar (USD) has softened as demand for safe-haven assets has diminished, influenced by an overall upbeat market sentiment. Despite this, the USD remains supported by recent data showing unexpected growth in US durable goods orders, which may mitigate some losses. However, anticipated revisions of the US GDP could indicate a slowdown to the lowest levels since early 2024, likely keeping the dollar on the back foot.

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.
