GBP/CHF (BROKERS) | £100 | 1 DAY | Fr 1.108 | RATE DETAILS |
CHF/GBP | no minimum | 5/7 DAYS | £0.86 | contact bank |

Using HSBC Bank currency exchange services, the UK Pound GBP to Swiss Franc CHF rate is currently Fr 1.07 – Moreover, using an FX broker for the currency transfer, the exchange rate would achieve around Fr 1.108 – GBP/CHF.

Exchange rates can sometimes change and sadly banks do not always inform us when they alter them (especially if they raise exchange rates, rather than lower them). A lower foreign exchange rate will typically get you a better deal when sending money to/from CHF. The recommended foreign exchange companies listed on our website can save you money and time with your international currency transfer requirements.

1: High street banks will charge an additional commission fee when sending money abroad into another currency. Private brokers offer commission free currency transfers for all transactions that meet their minimum transfer amount.
2: International money transfers sent via HSBC Bank could take longer to arrive than using a private broker, and unless you pay a premium, most high street banks will take from 3 to 7 days for your funds to arrive at the destination bank. Private foreign exchange companies typically complete the transaction between 1 to 3 days.
