CHF is the traditional safe-haven currency that investors flee to during global crises. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) pursues a stability mandate, keeping inflation below 2%. For Ukrainians, the franc is a premium savings and capital-insurance currency.

Where to buy Swiss francs

Francs are available only at large Ukrainian banks (Raiffeisen, Credit Agricole, OTP) and rarely at exchange offices. The rate is typically 1–2% above the NBU rate due to low liquidity. Alternative: buy via investment brokers into Swiss ETFs, or directly into Swiss stocks via UA brokers.

CHF/UAH: historical dynamics

The franc traditionally appreciates during Ukrainian and global crises. Since 2022, CHF/UAH has risen 35–45%. For long-term savings, the franc is the most conservative choice among world currencies.
