What moves the CHF/AUD rate
The Swiss Franc is mainly influenced by Swiss National Bank policy and the franc's reputation as a safe-haven currency. The Australian Dollar is mainly influenced by Reserve Bank of Australia policy, iron ore and other commodity prices, and demand from China. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the CHF/AUD 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/AUD figure is a cross rate: the euro value of AUD 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 AUD?
Enter an amount in Swiss Franc and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily CHF/AUD reference rate to show the value in Australian Dollar. To go the other way, AUD to CHF, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the CHF to AUD 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 AUD 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 Australian Dollar you actually receive is typically a little lower.
