Historical Fluctuations of the CHF to KES Exchange Rate

The overall value of the Swiss Franc against the Kenyan Shilling has decreased by -13.26% in the last 3 months.

In terms of market value, a Swiss Franc was worth 164.64 Kenyan Shillings 3 months ago and is now valued at 142.81 Kenyan Shillings. This drop does not favor consumers or travelers currently visiting Kenya, as you will get less Kenyan Shillings for your Swiss Franc. This represents a decline in buying power during your stay.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Swiss Francs to Kenyan Shillings, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
