What is the CHF/ZAR exchange rate today?
1 Swiss Franc buys 19.8513 South African Rand, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 12, 2026, 8:50 PM UTC. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices banks trade at — the fair reference rate, not the price you’ll be charged.
How often does the CHF/ZAR rate update?
The live rate refreshes about once a minute, and every reading is stamped with its own UTC time so you always know how fresh it is. Past daily points are immutable — once a day closes, its rate never changes.
Why is this different from my bank’s rate?
The rate here is mid-market; banks and apps quote a slightly worse rate and keep the difference as their margin. For example, change CHF 1,000.00 at 19.8513 and you’d receive ZAR 19,851.35. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ZAR 19,454.32 — roughly ZAR 397.03 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has CHF/ZAR moved recently?
Over the last 64 trading days, CHF/ZAR ranged from 19.8879 to 21.1876, averaging 20.4618. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
