Your bank says "commission-free" currency exchange. They're charging you 1-3.6% in the exchange rate markup. You just can't see it. This converter shows the mid-market rate and compares what Swiss providers actually charge — UBS, PostFinance, Neon, Revolut, Wise — side by side. On CHF 1,000 the difference between cheapest and most expensive provider is CHF 20-50. Monthly? That's hundreds per year. No signup. No ads. No affiliate bias.
Hey PH! 👋
I'm Adrien, building GetRates.ch, an independent comparison platform for Swiss financial products.
I built this currency converter because something drives me crazy about banking in Switzerland: banks advertise "commission-free" currency exchange while hiding a 1-3.6% markup in the exchange rate itself.
On CHF 1,000, that's CHF 10-36 you never see as a line item. Convert monthly as a cross-border worker or expat, and you're losing CHF 300-600 per year without knowing it.
So instead of just converting currencies, this tool shows you the mid-market rate (the real rate that banks trade at) and compares what each Swiss provider actually charges you. UBS, PostFinance, Neon, Revolut, Wise, all side by side, markup exposed.
Quick example: on a CHF 5,000 EUR conversion, the cheapest provider might charge CHF 15 in markup. The most expensive? CHF 180. Same money, same direction, 12x cost difference.
Would love your feedback, especially if you're an expat or cross-border worker. What features would make this more useful for your situation?
