<p>The most effective way I could find so far was Mt.Gox. The costs that are involved are still quite prohibitive.

<p>Is there <em>any</em> better way to convert your currency? (Swiss Francs in my case)</p>

@ripper234: How is that too localized? Swiss francs are a major currency (and even if not, this question would be of interest to a not insignificant user group for *any* currency).

@Thilo - because we have lots of similar questions, and it's not feasible to answer them all in a consistent manner. Also the answers will change with time, etc... don't won't to argue over it here though, it's just close vote, nothing major.

Switzerland takes part in the SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area); the Bitcoin exchanges that do SEPA transfers will probably be the ones with lowest costs for you.

I expect your bank will charge you for converting between CHF and EUR. If you want to convert often you may want to open a euro denominated account instead.

There is also [BitStamp](http://bitstamp.net/) which lists CHF as a currency it will convert for trading (international wire).

See also the [wiki page on selling bitcoins](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Selling_bitcoins).
