Extra Travel Tips
Extra Travel Tips
- Mix Cash & Card
Switzerland is highly card-friendly—contactless payments are standard in cities like Zürich, Geneva, and Bern. However, small shops, alpine huts, local markets, and public toilets may prefer cash, especially coins for small purchases. - Use CHF in Switzerland, Not AUD
Always pay in Swiss Francs (CHF) to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. If offered “dynamic currency conversion” at terminals, decline and choose CHF. - Watch ATM Fees
Some foreign cards may incur withdrawal charges. For better transparency, use ATMs at Swiss Post, UBS, Credit Suisse, or Raiffeisen Bank. - Leftover Franc After Your Trip?
Danesh Exchange offers a secure buy-back service for unused Swiss Francs. It’s simple, transparent, and ensures great value when converting back to AUD.
