Exchange Swiss Franc to Euro
When vacationing in Germany, tourists should exchange their Swiss franc into euro to make their stay smoother and more enjoyable. While paying with credit or debit cards is widespread, smaller shops, restaurants, or rural attractions might only accept cash. Additionally, tourists who pay directly with euro can avoid exchange rate fees and additional transaction costs that might arise when using foreign cards or withdrawing money from ATMs.

MoreHow high are the fees for selling CHF?
If you have purchased your Swiss franc from us within the last two months, you can exchange them with the purchase receipt free of charge at the respective counter purchase rate. Additionally, the exchange is not only fee-free but also at the same rate if you have exchanged a currency equivalent to at least €400 with us within the last 30 days (up to a value of €1,000).

You can repurchase the sold franc free of charge at the respective counter selling rate within two months with the sales receipt.
MoreWhy is there a difference between the buying rate and the selling rate of CHF?
The difference between the buying and selling rates of Swiss franc (spread) reflects the costs associated with currency trading, including administrative costs, inventory holding, and providing qualified service to our customers. Additionally, market conditions and associated risks also influence the spread.
MoreDo I need proof or identification to sell Swiss franc?
As a bank, we require proof of origin in addition to a valid identification document for transactions exceeding €2,500 (including fees). Since August 8, 2021, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) requires a suitable proof of the money's origin to be presented, which convincingly demonstrates the origin of the submitted assets.
MoreIs there an upper limit for the sale of Swiss franc?
No, there is no legal upper limit. However, depending on the exchange volume, identification documents and proof of origin may be required. For transactions exceeding €50,000, please contact one of our employees at one of our over 80 branches in Germany beforehand to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you.
MoreIs it possible to transfer the payout amount directly to my bank account?
A transfer to your bank account is possible, but depending on the bank, fees may apply.
MoreDoes the selling rate of Swiss franc fluctuate significantly?
Since the rates depend on current market conditions and are updated multiple times a day, no definitive statement can be made about this. However, you can always ask one of our employees on-site if there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate.
MoreCan I view the buying rate of the Swiss franc in the branch online?
At the moment, this is not possible. However, you can inquire about rates by phone beforehand.
MoreIs it possible to exchange Swiss franc into another foreign currency?
Yes, this is possible. Please note that the respective counter buying and selling rates will be applied in this case. However, the exchange fee is only charged once. There is no direct exchange rate from Swiss Franc to another currency, as is common in the foreign exchange market.
MoreCan I also exchange damaged or defective CHF notes with you?
This depends on the respective currency and the degree of damage. Please bring the defective Swiss franc notes directly to a branch near you for assessment.
