Banks & Payments
When arriving in Switzerland, your payments will be made in CHF (1 CHF=plus or minus 1USD & 1EUR). Nevertheless, many shops, restaurants and brands accept Euros (€).
For exchange rates, see the BCGE banknotes and currencies page.
One of the first steps when settling in Geneva is opening a bank account or a postal account to pay your regular bills.
