About GBP/CHF

GBP/CHF combines sterling's headline risk with the franc's safe-haven bid, so it typically falls further and faster than GBP/USD during broad risk-off episodes.

The cross is comparatively illiquid and best left alone during thin holiday sessions. Bank of England and Swiss National Bank meetings are the scheduled catalysts.

GBP/CHF sits in the minors group on our board. A standard contract is 100,000 units of GBP. A full-lot position moves through a meaningful amount of account equity in an ordinary session, so size the trade against the instrument’s daily range rather than against the margin requirement.

GBP/CHF FAQ

Where does the GBP/CHF price on this page come from?

The GBP/CHF figure is the European Central Bank's daily euro reference rate — one fixing per working day, shown with its reference date; this pair does not include the euro, so it is calculated from the euro rates of both currencies. It is a reference mid-rate, not a bid or ask you can deal on, and a fixing more than four days old is withheld rather than shown as current. It is for information only — use your broker's own prices before placing any trade.

What is a typical GBP/CHF spread?

Spreads are set by each broker and vary by account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close. Compare the live spread on each broker's own platform before you trade.

How much is one pip worth on GBP/CHF?

On a standard contract of 100,000 units of GBP, one pip is worth a fixed amount of the quote currency; its value in your account currency moves with the exchange rate, so check your broker's calculator for the current figure.

When can I trade GBP/CHF?

Sun 22:00 – Fri 22:00 GMT (continuous). Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.

What does the overnight swap cost on GBP/CHF?

Swap rates are set by each broker and change with policy rates, so we do not publish a figure. Most brokers apply a triple charge on Wednesdays to cover the weekend; positive rates are credited and negative rates are debited. Check the contract specification on your broker's platform.
