Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send CHF 6'000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what CHF 6'000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more UGX per CHF than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 7 of the last 30 days.
Right now, Key Currency pays 29’877’851 UGX on 6’000 CHF, which is 74’881.83 UGX less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 32’445’783.64 UGX.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Uganda.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today Key Currency is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 21% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Uganda.
4 companies send money from Switzerland to Uganda, across currency broker, online, app, multi-currency account, and global business account, and more.
For one-off transfers
Online services like Wise are usually cheaper than Swiss banks for one-off and medium-sized transfers.
With Wise, 6’000 CHF gets your recipient 29’657’510 UGX.
The fee is 87.10 CHF, with a -0.47% markup on top of the CHF/UGX rate.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 10 of the 14 days it quoted.
For spending and receiving
A multi-currency account is useful if you earn in Swiss francs but spend money in UGX (be it payments or travelling).
Wise converts CHF 6’000 with a -0.47% exchange-rate markup and lets you hold CHF and UGX in one account.
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For regular transfers
For the monthly transfer to family, money transfer apps are the easiest to start with.
Wise charges fr.87.10 on a fr.6’000 transfer, and the money lands same day.
Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 71% of the days it appeared for fr.6’000 transfers.
You can also save recipients and create automated scheduled transfers to Uganda.
You can’t make deposits with TWINT, but instead you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
For large CHF transfers
Private banks can usually do this too, but brokers streamline the process and you also get an account manager to handle the transfer.
For example, if you are buying property in Uganda or moving your wealth, a broker like Key Currency charges no fee and works on a margin instead (0.25% on CHF/UGX).
I suggest , since the more UGX you send the better rate you get.
Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 91% of the transfers from CHF 6,000 it quoted.
Brokers charge no fees, so settle with the one that gives you the best CHF/UGX rate.
For companies paying across borders
Converting every payment separately adds extra work for Swiss businesses with regular costs in Uganda.
A global account lets you hold UGX alongside CHF and pay from the balance.
Wise Business, WorldFirst and Airwallex offer multi-currency accounts with business payment tools.
With Key Currency, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CHF 6’000 gives your recipient 29’877’851 UGX.
The transfer can be paid for by bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
You can pay from your Swiss bank account
Send CHF to the account details provided by the company.
Use the exact reference so it can match the payment to your transfer.
TWINT is mainly for payments in Switzerland, so it does not replace an international transfer to Uganda.
In Uganda, they can get UGX delivered as bank deposit.

The exchange-rate margin usually matters more than the transfer fee from Switzerland. Gift tax and account protection also depend on details that are easy to miss.
For a CHF 6’000 transfer to Uganda, these are the best options in our comparison.
Cheapest way to send money to Uganda
The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 29’877’851 UGX, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Uganda
The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 29’657’510 UGX in same day.
Swiss banks can make SEPA payments in euros, but a CHF transfer to UGX requires a conversion.
Same goes for Swiss instant payments.
Money transfer companies can take these as funding methods (since accounts are in Switzerland) but then they switch to an internal network of accounts.
Switzerland has no federal gift tax applied on transfers abroad.
Most cantons impose their own rules, with the amount due usually depending on the value of the gift and your relationship to the recipient.
The Swiss government portal explains how gift tax works here.
Do not assume every app used in Switzerland is FINMA-authorised or covered by Swiss deposit insurance.
Some services operate under a foreign licence, and a Swiss virtual IBAN does not by itself create Swiss deposit protection.
Eligible deposits at participating Swiss banks are protected up to CHF 100,000 per customer and bank, but esisuisse confirms that a virtual IBAN or correspondent account may fall outside that protection.
If you’re in doubt about a money transfer company or app, check the legal company behind the service in the FINMA register.
