Moving abroad, arriving in Switzerland, an acquisition, an inheritance: for a substantial amount, your exchange deserves more than a quick stop at the counter. Automatic preferential tiers, denominations prepared in advance, a private lounge by appointment and, always, the Swiss legal framework followed to the letter — it protects you as much as it protects us.
Five major pairs against the Swiss franc — fed by the same quotation table as our counter. The displayed rate is the public rate; preferential tiers apply according to the amount.
