USD-CHF 
exchange ratesExchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare US dollar (USD) to Swiss franc (CHF) rates from different sources before making a conversion.
The above OFX dollar to franc comparison table makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by banks and foreign exchange providers against the latest USD-CHF mid-rate (see Market Data below ) and the possible savings of using a different provider.
OFX has a 20-year history and is one of the largest foreign exchange specialists in the world. It offers a complete foreign exchange solution, including discounted money transfers, currency hedging tools, recurring transfers, a multi-currency account for online sellers and much more.
OFX grew from the idea that there had to be a better, fairer way to move money around the world. That was over 20 years ago, and since then over 1 million customers have trusted OFX with transfers in 50+ currencies to over 170 countries.
OFX don’t just offer great rates, they believe real help from real people counts. That’s why their clients get the best of both worlds – a seamless digital platform, combined with 24/7 phone access to currency experts.

So whether you are sending money to friends and family abroad, or doing business across borders, OFX can get your money where it needs to go. Fast, simple, secure.
Using OFX for money transfers offers the benefit of lower fees and competitive exchange rates compared to traditional banks, making international transactions more cost-effective.
Additionally, OFX provides 24/7 customer support, a range of transfer options including spot and forward contracts, and a user-friendly online platform, enhancing convenience and flexibility for global financial transactions.
OFX offers exchange rates that beat the banks, and are close or equal to the rates offered by the industry’s lowest-cost services.
When you register via our OFX 0.5% exclusive offer for BER users 🏷 the cost of sending, for example, 5,000 US dollars to Australia equates to 0.5 percent of the transferred amount, or roughly US$25. You’d pay the same 0.5 percent for the same amount to be sent to Europe and around 1 percent if sending to India. This compares with 4–7 percent with the banks.
For other currency routes we looked at (routes involving AUD, INR, GBP, EUR, SGD and USD), the average cost of an international payment with OFX was 0.6 percent of the transferred amount. This is exceptional if compared with banks but can be a little more expensive than what is charged by the industry’s lowest-cost services, although such services do not offer the same benefits and customer service as OFX.

Recent forecasts for the USD to CHF exchange rate indicate a volatile landscape influenced by a combination of economic data and central bank policies. Following disappointing producer price index figures from the U.S., the US dollar (USD) has weakened, fostering increased speculation regarding potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. After Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled a dovish stance during his recent remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium, market sentiment has gravitated toward anticipating an extended duration for higher interest rates. According to FX analysts, the upcoming release of the consumer sentiment index could be pivotal, but uncertainty hovers over whether it will be sufficient to bolster the USD, particularly in light of heightened rate cut expectations.

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 Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our Rate Alerts keep you informed of recent trends and movements of currency pairs.
