The best bureau de change in Geneva is the one that hands you the most for your amount, today — not the one that says so. Here the ranking is computed in front of you: your amount, your currency, and the rates the other bureaus in town publish, read to the hour. Our exact figure opens with your client account — free, thirty seconds — and can be reserved for three hours. At Helvetica Exchange, Rue Pierre-Fatio 19 in Rive, the margin sits inside the rate: no separate commission.
| Monday – Friday | 08:30 – 18:30 |
| Saturday | 09:00 – 17:00 |
| Sunday | Closed |
The same simulator as the Exchange page: your amount, your currencies, the tier that applies — and, beside it, the rates published by the other bureaus in town. Your exact figure opens with your account.

Our exact figure opens with your client account — free, thirty seconds. Other bureaus' rates: published on their sites, read and time-stamped; Migros publishes a rate valid from CHF 1,000 on the sell side.
A comparison is only worth something if it is accurate, dated and repeatable — and if you can redo it yourself.
The simulator automatically applies the tier that matches your amount — the same engine as at the counter.
The rates posted by the other bureaus in town are read on their sites, to the hour, in the same direction as your operation.

We track the rates in town continuously: ranking ourselves publicly forces us to stay ahead.
