Why this pair matters
EUR/CHF is the rate behind many everyday decisions: cross-border commuters who live in France, Germany or Italy and work in Switzerland, companies selling into the Swiss market, and holidaymakers in the Alps. For them a small percentage change adds up over a year of salaries or invoices.
The shape of August
The euro gained ground in the first half of the month, peaking at 0.9406 on August 18. On August 20 it fell 0.73%, the biggest daily move of August, to 0.9333. The last days of the month brought a partial recovery. Overall the rate rose on 13 days and fell on 8.

Unlike most pairs on this site, EUR/CHF is published directly by the ECB, so these are the official reference rates, with no cross calculation involved.
A practical example for cross-border workers
Someone paid in francs and spending in euros wants a low EUR/CHF rate, because each franc then buys more euros. In August 2026 that was the start of the month, around the low of August 4. At the monthly average one franc was worth 1.0682 euros.
Someone paid in euros who pays bills in francs wants the opposite. For them the best day in August was August 18, when a euro bought 0.9406 francs.
Salary conversions usually happen on a fixed date, so there is little room to choose the day. The larger lever is the provider: bank transfers, card payments and specialised transfer services apply very different margins to the same reference rate. Comparing the rate you received with the official fixing of the day shows how much you paid. Doing this once a quarter is usually enough to see whether a switch of provider would pay off over a year of monthly salary transfers.
