Frequently asked questions
What moves the CHF/JPY exchange rate?
Both are safe-haven currencies, so this pair tends to be calmer than either currency against risk-sensitive ones. SNB vs BOJ policy divergence is the primary driver.

Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
Is the Japanese Yen a safe-haven currency?

Japan's current account surplus and deep, liquid bond market reinforce this safe-haven status. This means CHF/JPY may drop sharply during periods of global market stress.
