What factors influence the current euro-to-Swiss franc exchange rate (EUR/CHF)?
The EUR/CHF currency pair is one of the most important instruments for European investors and businesses. It shows how many Swiss francs (CHF) are needed to buy one euro (EUR).
The quotes for this pair are primarily influenced by the decisions of two central banks:
- The European Central Bank (ECB) – which shapes eurozone policy.
- The Swiss National Bank (SNB) – which is known for actively intervening in the market to protect its economy.
The Swiss franc has the status of a so-called safe haven. This means that during times of economic crisis, high inflation, or geopolitical tensions, investors flock away from the euro toward the stable franc. As a result, when global uncertainty rises, the franc’s exchange rate often surges sharply.

EUR/CHF exchange rates for business (B2B)
Switzerland is a market synonymous with high quality—from watches to pharmaceuticals and financial services to new technologies. If your company imports Swiss goods or provides services there, you are exposed to significant exchange rate fluctuations that can reduce your profits.
At Trejdoo, we help companies manage this risk. We offer the ability to negotiate exchange rates for larger volumes, allowing you to avoid the high spreads charged by traditional banks. You can immediately and securely transfer the Swiss francs you exchange with us to your Swiss business partners.
Secure transactions thanks to the ESCROW service
Transactions with partners in Switzerland, especially those involving large sums, require the highest level of trust. In addition to excellent exchange rates, the Trejdoo platform offers businesses an innovative escrow service.
This is a special, secured escrow account. Your funds in euros or francs are securely held in it and are transferred to the counterparty only after both parties have fulfilled the terms of the agreement (e.g., the goods have been delivered). It is the perfect tool for eliminating commercial risk in international transactions, giving you 100% certainty that your money is safe.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - EUR/CHF
How do you correctly read the EUR/CHF exchange rate?
In the EUR/CHF pair, the euro is the base currency and the Swiss franc is the quote currency. The exchange rate shown tells us how many Swiss francs you need to pay for 1 euro. For example, a rate of 0.9500 means that 1 euro is worth exactly 0.95 francs.
Why does the Swiss franc react so strongly to crises?
Switzerland has a stable economy, vast gold reserves, a strong banking system, and maintains political neutrality. That is why, during times of market panic (such as wars, pandemics, or crises in the eurozone), global capital seeks refuge there. The huge demand for the franc in such situations causes its exchange rate to rise rapidly.
Does the Swiss National Bank (SNB) influence the exchange rate of the Swiss franc?
Yes, and very actively! Because an overly strong franc hurts Swiss exports, the SNB regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market. The bank is capable of flooding the market with billions of francs in a short period of time to weaken the value of its own currency.
What are the best times to exchange EUR for CHF?
The EUR/CHF pair is the most liquid and offers the lowest (most favorable to the client) spreads during the European trading session. The best time to trade on Trejdoo is usually between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CET, when banks and stock exchanges in Frankfurt and Zurich are actively operating.
