In every trip I notice in some countries you get a better exchange just by bringing money and using local exchange stores, but in some others is better by withdrawing from ATM machines. When I arrive in Zurich what would be better? I realize some ATM are privately owned and charge more so I always look for Bank owned machines. If you’ve used both I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks

Avoid changing money in Western Europe otherwise you will lose; take out local currency from the UBS bank ATM at Zurich airport

Try to just get about 40 to 80 CHF that way you are not stuck with 100 notes. But you will find that most merchants and even some of the toilets (I know the one in Zurich and Montreux train stations) are tap and pay with credit card only and no cash
