Swiss Franc exchange rate today
The franc is the classic safe-haven currency — it strengthens when investors are worried, regardless of what happens in Switzerland itself. For seven years the Swiss National Bank capped it at 1.20 per euro; when the cap was removed in January 2015 the franc gained 30% within minutes, a reminder that a managed rate is not a guaranteed one.

Frequently asked questions
The figure at the top of the page is the ECB reference rate for the latest working day, expressed as francs per euro. Watch the direction: because the euro is the base, a falling line means the franc is getting stronger, not weaker. The 52-week high and low underneath the chart show the extremes of the past year and the dates they were fixed on.
In September 2011 the Swiss National Bank promised to buy foreign currency in unlimited quantities to stop the euro falling below 1.20 francs, after safe-haven buying had pushed the franc close to parity. It abandoned the cap without warning on 15 January 2015 and the franc jumped by roughly a fifth within minutes. That day is still visible in any long franc chart.
Switzerland combines a persistent current account surplus, low inflation and political neutrality, so money moves into francs whenever investors want somewhere dull to sit. That is the safe-haven bid, and it is expensive for Swiss exporters. It is why the National Bank held its policy rate at minus 0.75 percent from 2015 until 2022, the lowest of any major central bank, to make holding francs unattractive.
The ECB publishes no franc to pound or franc to yen rate, and nor does anyone else officially. Those pairs are derived by dividing two euro reference rates, which is exactly what the cross-rate table on this site does. Expect a small difference from other sites: they may round at a different step or use a fix from another day, and both effects land in the last decimals.
