Kassensturz: The Challenges of Exchanging Swedish Currency in Switzerland
Kassensturz Highlights Currency Exchange Issues
Have you tried to exchange Swedish Kronor for Swiss Francs recently? Kassensturz reveals that it is becoming increasingly difficult. Many banks in Switzerland do not accept Scandinavian currencies at all. For instance, ZKB only exchanges Kronor valued at up to 100 Francs.
The Problem with Low Demand
According to a report from SRF, numerous Swiss banks offer limited or no exchange for these currencies, attributing this to a low demand and limited currency availability. A customer of ZKB found herself unable to exchange her 3000 Swedish Kronor (approximately 249 Francs) without incurring restrictions.
Remaining Options
- SBB still allows exchanges but only accepts 200 or smaller notes.
- Swedish agents are pulling back from transactions due to heightened money laundering risks.
In summary, the Swedish currency exchange situation in Switzerland has become more challenging, as highlighted by Kassensturz.
