What factors influence the current CHF/PLN exchange rate?
The CHF/PLN currency pair shows how many Polish zlotys (PLN) are needed to buy one Swiss franc (CHF). Given the huge number of mortgages taken out in this currency, the franc’s exchange rate is closely monitored in Poland.
The value of this currency pair is influenced by the actions of two institutions:
- The Swiss National Bank (SNB) – which ensures the stability of the franc and protects Swiss exports from the currency becoming too strong.
- The National Bank of Poland (NBP) – which determines interest rates in Poland.
The Swiss franc has the status of a so-called ‘safe haven’. This means that in times of global crises, pandemics, wars or high inflation, capital from all over the world flees to stable Switzerland. This is precisely why, when panic breaks out on the markets, the CHF/PLN exchange rate can rise dramatically, which is particularly painful for Polish borrowers and importers.

Swiss franc exchange for businesses
Switzerland is a market for advanced technologies. If your company imports precision machinery or medical equipment, you settle payments in Swiss francs. Conversely, if you’re paying off a mortgage in CHF, you’re buying this currency every month. In both cases, buying Swiss francs directly from a traditional bank means losing out due to a high currency spread.
At Trejdoo, we offer a solution for everyone. Individual customers can regularly buy francs at the market rate and transfer them directly to their loan account, saving thousands of zlotys a year. For businesses, we offer access to negotiated exchange rates that protect margins against market volatility and minimise import costs.
Secure payments using an escrow contract
Transactions with Swiss partners often involve very large sums. To guarantee 100% security for both parties, the Trejdoo platform offers an escrow service.
This is an innovative escrow account. Your Swiss francs are safely deposited in it and are only transferred to the foreign counterparty’s account once they have fulfilled the terms of the contract (e.g. delivered the goods). It is the most effective tool for eliminating risk in international trade.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - CHF/PLN
How do you read CHF/PLN exchange rates correctly?
In this exchange rate, the Swiss franc (CHF) is the base currency and the Polish zloty (PLN) is the quoted currency. The exchange rate shown indicates how many zlotys you need to pay to buy 1 franc. For example, a rate of 4.5500 means that one franc costs 4 zlotys and 55 groszy.
Why is the Swiss Franc rising when there is a global crisis?
For years, Switzerland has been associated with political neutrality, a powerful banking system and vast gold reserves. When an economic crisis or armed conflict breaks out in the world, investors withdraw their money from riskier countries and buy Swiss francs, treating them as the safest place to invest their capital. This huge demand drives up the CHF exchange rate.
What are the best times to exchange CHF for PLN?
The Swiss franc and Polish zloty markets are at their most liquid during the European trading session. This means that you will generally get the best exchange rates on the Trejdoo platform on working days between 8:00 and 18:00 local time, when banks in Poland and Switzerland are open.
Can I repay my Swiss franc loan more cheaply with Trejdoo?
Absolutely! Instead of accepting an unfavourable exchange rate from the bank where you have your loan, you can exchange zlotys for francs every month on our platform at an attractive market rate. Then, simply arrange for the francs you’ve purchased to be transferred directly into your loan account.
