Understanding Exchange Fees
The rate you see on this calculator is the mid-market exchange rate — the midpoint between the buy and sell prices on global currency markets. In practice, the rate you receive depends on where and how you exchange your money.
| Method | Typical Markup | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Online transfer (Wise, Revolut) | 0% – 0.5% | Large amounts, planned transfers |
| Bank wire transfer | 1% – 3% | Existing bank customers, high-value transfers |
| Debit/credit card abroad | 1% – 3% + foreign transaction fee | Small purchases while traveling |
| Airport currency exchange | 5% – 12% | Last-resort convenience only |
| Hotel or resort exchange | 4% – 10% | Small amounts when no other option is available |
Bank transfers from major US banks to Swiss banks typically carry a markup of 1% to 3% over the mid-market rate, plus a flat wire fee of $15 to $50. This makes them cost-effective only for large sums where the flat fee is a small percentage of the total.
Online services like Wise and Revolut offer rates closest to mid-market with small, transparent fees. For a $1,000 transfer, you might save $20 to $40 compared to a traditional bank wire.
Cash exchange at airports (ZRH, GVA, JFK) and hotels offers the worst rates — typical spreads of 4-10% over mid-market. If you need Swiss francs on arrival in Switzerland, withdrawing from a UBS, PostFinance or Raiffeisen ATM with a no-foreign-fee debit card is almost always cheaper than any exchange counter.
