Hi everyone,
I have a bit of an urgent request. Does anyone know what the exchange rate is at the UBS bancomats in Geneva airport? I remember they offer withdrawals into USD, but I'm not sure where to find the exchange rate.
Grateful for any help! Thanks!

They theoretically use the Reuters 1600 GMT for bank to bank transfers (though they subsequently take out 2% change rate, plus 20CHF flat fee). I suspect they probably use the Reuters rate for withdrawals.
Can you post when you find out, though? I'm thinking of saving myself the 2% "change fee" by taking out cash and depositing in the U.S. next time.

P.S. I imagine that taking out funds here also avoids the fee for withdrawing in a foreign country.

Not sure how it all works, but setting this form to 'banknotes' is probably the rate you'll get from the ATMs at the airport: http://www.ubs.com/global/en/bcqv/calculator.html?querystring=USD%2FCHF&_charset_=UTF-8
When you take money from the machines, the exchange rate is shown on the screen at some point.

I am unsure what rate at the airport, but I have found that UBS do not do that good a rate when taking cash out of ATM's.
If you are looking to do regular transfers to USD or other, have a look at these, they do good rate. Thats who I use now.
