What moves the CHF/JPY rate
The Swiss Franc is mainly influenced by Swiss National Bank policy and the franc's reputation as a safe-haven currency. The Japanese Yen is mainly influenced by Bank of Japan policy, the interest rate gap between Japan and other economies, and the yen's use as a safe haven. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the CHF/JPY 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/JPY figure is a cross rate: the euro value of JPY 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 JPY?
Enter an amount in Swiss Franc and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily CHF/JPY reference rate to show the value in Japanese Yen. To go the other way, JPY to CHF, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the CHF to JPY 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 JPY 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 Japanese Yen you actually receive is typically a little lower.
