Dirhams AED / CHF, at the counter.
We change your Emirati dirhams against Swiss francs — in both directions — Helvetica Exchange, Rue Pierre-Fatio 19, 1204 Geneva (Rive district) — the posted rate is the counter rate, no separate commission. Monday–Friday 08:30–18:30, Saturday 09:00–17:00. Reserve and your rate is held for 3 hours during opening hours; ID from the LBA thresholds. Gulf visitors: discreet service, private lounge by appointment for substantial amounts.
Every summer Geneva speaks a little Arabic: Gulf visitors at the lakeside, families settled year-round, business between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Geneva marketplace. The dirham changes here in both directions — preparing a departure for the Emirates, or converting what returns from the Gulf — with one particular requirement: discretion. That is our private lounge's craft, by appointment: substantial amounts handled away from the counter, large denominations counted before you, tea served if time allows. Summer has its habits — appointments sometimes taken the same day; call in the morning, the lounge can often receive you that afternoon. Discretion is never negotiable.

Questions.
Can we arrange a discreet appointment for a large amount?
Yes — precisely the lounge's role. Agree a time by phone or via ARIA; you are received away from the counter, LBA formalities prepared in advance to keep the meeting brief.
Do you change dirhams both ways?
Yes — purchase and sale at the posted rate, the same quotation engine as the whole house, with tiers improving by amount.
