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