Buy Swiss Francs (CHF) Online

Whether you’re hiking the Alps near Zermatt, cruising Lake Geneva, exploring Zürich’s old town, or visiting Vaduz’s royal landmarks in Liechtenstein, having Swiss Francs (CHF) on hand ensures a smooth, stress-free experience.

Skip the airport currency stalls and surprise markups—Danesh Exchange is Australia’s most trusted way to buy CHF online. With top exchange rates, zero commission, and flexible delivery options, you’ll be fully prepared to enjoy the best of Switzerland and Liechtenstein from the moment you land.

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.
