CHF to ETH

CHF to ETH: what you are looking at

This overview tracks the rate for Swiss Franc (CHF) and Ethereum (ETH) and compares it with the cost of an actual conversion at a range of providers. At the latest update on October 30, 2026, 1 CHF buys 0.00054537 ETH, and a single ETH comes to 1,833.62 CHF.

The rate shown above is the interbank mid rate. It is calculated as the middle of the buying and selling prices on the wholesale market. Treat it as the cleanest reference you can get: nobody earns anything on it directly, so you rarely get it as a private customer.

What you actually receive comes down to two separate costs: the gap between the provider’s rate and the mid-market rate and any fixed or percentage fee. Below the converter and chart we explain how those costs work, put them side by side and share simple habits to lose less on the exchange when converting CHF to ETH.

What 1,000.00 CHF gets you in ETH

Let’s use an amount of 1,000.00 CHF. Using the reference rate of 0.00054537, that sum sets the ceiling for what is possible on the ETH side. In practice nobody hands over that full amount, since the margin and fees are taken out along the way.

Looking at all 4 providers we track, Kraken came out cheapest for this amount, with 0.5429 ETH at the time of our last update. Whatever is missing compared with the mid-market amount is the real price of the transfer.

Bear in mind that rankings shift with the amount you send. Fixed fees weigh heavily on small sums, whereas a percentage margin grows along with the amount. Enter your own amount in the converter and check whether the order changes.

Tips for converting CHF to ETH

Compare the total cost, not the fee alone. A provider with a low fee can still be expensive because the margin can make up the difference. The number that matters is how much ETH arrives for your CHF, which combines the markup and the fee.

At foreign tills and cash machines, a terminal may offer to charge you in your home currency. That option is known as dynamic currency conversion, or DCC. It tends to be among the most expensive ways to convert. Choose the local currency and let your own card provider do the conversion.

Timing can also matter. Rates quoted on a Saturday or Sunday can include a weekend surcharge. When there is no deadline, you can set a target rate and let the provider convert only when it is reached. It saves you from checking the rate every day, though there is no guarantee the rate will get there.

The payment method matters as well. Card payments often cost more than a bank transfer, and a regular bank transfer to the provider is usually the cheapest way in. Sending less often but in larger amounts means fixed charges hit you fewer times.

Swiss Franc against Ethereum: the last twelve months

Compared with a year ago, the exchange rate moved by +70.98%. Within those twelve months the top of the range was 0.00080512 ETH per CHF, and the lowest was 0.00031708. Today’s rate of 0.00054537 sits somewhere inside that range.

The spread between the year’s extremes is a useful reminder of how far the rate can travel. On a large conversion, the moment of conversion matters in actual money, sometimes more than the choice of provider.

Exchange rates respond to news, economic data and supply and demand on the market. We show the figures as they are and do not make predictions. If you are waiting for a particular level, it is more practical to set an alert than to guess.

Exchange rate markup and fees on CHF/ETH

Most providers stay away from the mid-market rate as such. They shift the rate in their own favour and keep the difference. People call this the spread. A markup of 2%, for example, means that about 2 out of every 100 CHF never reach the recipient.

Next to that markup, most banks charge an explicit fee. That can be a flat charge per payment, a percentage of the amount or a mix of both. For transfers sent through the banking network the receiving or intermediary bank sometimes deducts a charge too, and those only show up at the end.

Take a close look at anything sold as commission-free. Free usually means the price is built into the exchange rate. The reliable test is how much ETH the recipient ends up with for exactly the same sum, and that is the figure our table ranks on.

Buying or selling crypto: CHF to ETH

With crypto, the price you pay depends heavily on where you trade. On an exchange with an order book, you pay the difference between bid and ask, on top of a maker or taker fee. Simple broker apps often show one price which hides a wider spread.

If you withdraw coins to a wallet, you pay a network or withdrawal fee. It is often a fixed amount regardless of the size of the transfer, so it weighs more on small transactions. Double-check the network before you send: mistakes here are rarely reversible.

Volatility is much higher than with regular currencies. Quoted prices tend to expire quickly, and big orders can fill at a worse price than shown. Use the rate here as a guide, not as a binding quote.

Think about custody as well. On a platform, someone else manages the private keys, while self-custody means you alone can access, or lose, the funds. Check that a platform is registered or licensed with a financial regulator where you live.

How our CHF/ETH comparison works

Our starting point is the current mid-market rate. For each provider we apply its published fees and the margin it adds to the rate, and work out how much ETH the recipient would end up with. The comparison covers 4 providers, so you can see the differences at a glance.

We update the rates every 30 minutes, and the date on the page shows when the data was last updated. Providers confirm their own price at checkout, because their rate can move between our updates.

No bank, app or exchange owns GoldexPay. We may earn a commission through some links, which help fund our work. That never changes the ranking: the provider that delivers the most ETH comes first, whether or not we have a link to it.

Before you send: security and large amounts

Only use providers that are regulated. A regulated provider is registered with a supervisor such as the FCA or your national central bank. Licensed payment firms must keep customer money separate from their own and that offers protection if the company fails.

Verify every detail of the recipient. An international payment is hard to reverse once it is sent. Be suspicious if someone urges you to pay quickly or suddenly changes bank details. Call to confirm, using contact details you already had.

Larger transfers often come with additional questions. Have documents ready that show where the money came from, such as a payslip, sale agreement or bank statement. Some services offer better rates or a personal contact for larger transfers. A rate lock, where offered, removes uncertainty while the money is on its way.
