What moves the CHF/AED rate
The Swiss Franc is mainly influenced by Swiss National Bank policy and the franc's reputation as a safe-haven currency. The United Arab Emirates Dirham is mainly influenced by a fixed peg to the US dollar of about 3.6725 dirhams per dollar, maintained by the UAE Central Bank. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the CHF/AED rate moves; when they move together, the rate tends to stay steadier.
How this rate is calculated
Rates are fetched from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (updated once per working day), and from ExchangeRate-API for currencies the ECB does not cover. All rates are stored against the euro, so the CHF/AED figure is a cross rate: the euro value of AED divided by the euro value of CHF. These are indicative mid-market reference rates and may differ from the rates offered by banks, card issuers and payment providers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert CHF to AED?
Enter an amount in Swiss Franc and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily CHF/AED reference rate to show the value in United Arab Emirates Dirham. To go the other way, AED to CHF, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the CHF to AED rate come from?
Rates come from Frankfurter, which republishes daily European Central Bank reference rates, with ExchangeRate-API filling in currencies the ECB does not publish. They are cached in your browser for up to an hour.
Is this the CHF to AED rate my bank will give me?
No. These are mid-market, indicative rates. Banks, card providers and transfer services usually add a margin or fee, so the United Arab Emirates Dirham you actually receive is typically a little lower.
