Frequently Asked Questions

How is this exchange rate calculated?

This conversion uses the European Central Bank reference rate, which is published once per business day at around 16:00 CET (Frankfurt time). The ECB calculates these rates from interbank market quotes provided by major banks. Reference rates are intended for information and statistical purposes โ€” they are not commercial rates at which currencies can actually be bought or sold.

Will I get this exact rate from my bank?

No. The ECB reference rate is a benchmark used by economists, regulators, and accountants โ€” not a retail rate. Banks, currency exchange services, and credit cards typically add a markup of 1 to 4 percent on top of the reference rate, plus possible fixed transaction fees. To know the actual rate you would pay, check directly with your bank or money transfer service before exchanging.

How often is this rate updated?

The European Central Bank updates exchange rates once per business day, around 16:00 CET. Rates are not updated on weekends or eurozone bank holidays โ€” during these periods the most recent business-day rate remains in effect. We refresh our cached rate every six hours to balance accuracy with performance.

Why does the Canadian Dollar to Swiss Franc exchange rate change?

Exchange rates fluctuate based on many factors, including interest rate decisions by the Bank of Canada and the Swiss National Bank, inflation differences between Canada and Switzerland, trade balances, capital flows, and geopolitical events affecting market sentiment. Even small differences in expected economic conditions can move rates significantly over short periods.
