What we've measured on CHF → ETB
Across 45 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 14.2% (widest single day: 16.7%). On a 1,000 CHF transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 5 times in that window, across 2 different providers (TalkRemit has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for ETB, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Ethiopia can be paid via a bank account and a mobile wallet, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
CHF to ETB — Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send CHF to ETB?
Dahabshiil currently offers the best value for CHF → ETB, delivering 215,400 ETB for 1,000 CHF. We rank by the total amount received after fees and exchange-rate markup, updated every 4 hours. Note that the lead has changed 5 times in the last 45 days across 2 providers, so today's winner is not a permanent answer — check before each transfer.
What is the current CHF to ETB exchange rate?
The best available rate is 1 CHF = 217.58 ETB via Dahabshiil. The reference (mid-market) rate is 194.96, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 45 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 14.2%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending CHF to ETB?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 0.96% in visible fees and 0.62% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 4 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the smaller part, about 39% of what you pay. 1 of them charge no fee at all on this corridor, which is exactly why fee alone is a poor guide. We rank by the amount your recipient actually receives, which captures both. Learn how fees work →
Can I send CHF to a mobile wallet in Ethiopia?
Yes. Several providers on this page pay out to Telebirr, M-Pesa, CBE Birr and HelloCash in Ethiopia. Choose your wallet as the delivery method at checkout on the provider's site — the recipient gets the money directly in their mobile-wallet balance, usually within minutes. Rankings above already account for the fee and exchange-rate markup, so the best value applies to wallet payout too.
