| Its instant.
The real rate at the time was 1.69 and I got 1.65, so naff all difference, much better than you would get at the cashiers.
UBS charges me 5CHF and RBS charge me a tenner I think. | |

Are you sure it wasn't the other way round? If you were transferring CHF to sterling, it wouldn't make sense for them to give you a better than advertised rate.
Eg You transfer CHF100 at 1.69 = £59.17 at 1.65 it would be £60.61.
The first rule of banking is the customer never wins
Obviously if you were buying CHF they would offer you the lower rate, so it would cost you more £ to buy CHF100.
