About the Swiss Franc
The Swiss Franc is trusted worldwide as a safe-haven currency. Note that Switzerland is not part of the eurozone: some tourist-area shops accept euros, but change comes back in francs at unfavorable rates. Carrying francs is the reliable choice for a stay in Switzerland.
The current ninth-series banknotes come in 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 1000 francs. The 1000-franc note is one of the highest-value banknotes in the world and impractical for daily use — a mix centered on 20s and 50s works best for travel.
Tips for Exchanging Francs
Euros are a poor substitute
Even where euros are accepted, change comes in francs at shop-set rates. Francs are the smarter way to pay in Switzerland.
Carry 20s and 50s
Large notes are unwelcome at small shops. Use 20 and 50 franc notes daily, keeping 100s for hotel bills.
Ask about older series
Older-series notes may not circulate in shops even though the Swiss National Bank exchanges them. Bring them in and we will advise.
FAQ: Swiss Franc
Is there a commission for CHF exchange?
No. Everything is included in the displayed rate — the buy and sell rates you see are exactly what you get.
Can I just use euros in Switzerland?
Some tourist shops take euros, but change is given in francs and the rate is usually poor. We recommend carrying francs.
Do you buy older-series franc notes?
Handling depends on the series and condition. Please bring them to the shop so we can check and advise.
