Tips for Getting the Best AUD to CHF Transfer Value
- •Reject Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC): When paying with a debit or credit card abroad, always elect to be charged in CHF (local currency) rather than AUD. Merchant DCC terminals apply huge profit margins.
- •Set an Automated Rate Alert: If your transfer is not urgent, configure our free rate alert tool to notify you when AUD/CHF crosses your target price threshold.
- •Compare Total Landed Cost: Always evaluate the upfront transfer fee combined with the exchange rate markup to calculate the exact amount of CHF that will arrive in the recipient's account.
