Swissquote

Broker Overview

Swissquote is a brokerage brand associated with Swissquote Group Holding Ltd. The research record describes its ownership as: Public company (SIX Swiss Exchange). The brand’s operating history is recorded as 1996, while the headquarters or principal operating location captured in this review is Gland, Switzerland. Its official domain is https://www.swissquote.com/. The broker serves different markets through separate companies, so users should not assume that one group entity, product list or protection framework applies worldwide. The target-market summary in the reviewed record is: Banking, investing, FX/CFDs and digital assets; product availability varies by entity.

Regulation and Legal Structure

The representative legal-entity record states: Swissquote Bank Ltd (Switzerland) and regional entities, including Swissquote Capital Markets Ltd (CySEC 422/22). The client-coverage note states: Swiss bank status and EU CIF status are separate. The EU entity advertises retail leverage up to 1:30. These statements should be read at entity level. A licence belonging to one company does not automatically cover another affiliate, and a registration, service company, payment processor or introducing entity should not be described as the product issuer unless the legal documents confirm that role. The database confidence for this profile is High, and the provisional evidence score is 88/100. This score assesses the quality of the public evidence reviewed; it is not a safety guarantee or personal recommendation.

Accounts and Trading Conditions

The trading record states: CFXD/TradingView, MT4 and MT5; broad multi-asset access. The pricing record states: ROW account material showed Standard from USD 1,000 and spreads from 1.7 pips; other pages advertised lower figures for different tiers. Inactivity and financing vary. Published spreads, commissions and minimums are treated as advertised information rather than independently observed execution costs. Before publication, the relevant account type, legal entity, currency, measurement date, commission basis and financing terms should be shown together. Maximum leverage is jurisdiction- and client-classification dependent and was not treated as one global brand-level figure in this profile.

Platforms and Apps

Based on the reviewed materials, the main platform and access information is: CFXD/TradingView, MT4 and MT5; broad multi-asset access. Platform availability can differ by region. An MT4 or MT5 logo on a group page does not prove that every entity or account supports that platform. Likewise, official App Store and Google Play listings should be linked only after the developer identity and regional availability have been verified. This profile includes the required screenshot filenames, but no image asset is represented as cleared for republication unless a source or permission is stated.

Markets and Instruments

The broad product snapshot is: Exact current instrument categories were not publicly verified in this research run. Exact instrument counts should not be quoted unless they are current, entity-specific and verified on an official product page. Where a broker offers both real securities and derivatives, those categories should be distinguished. The same asset name can represent a share, future, option, rolling forex contract or CFD with materially different ownership and risk.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The service-information record states: Research, banking services, education and multi-channel support. A complete payment review should verify the payment beneficiary, supported methods, currencies, processing windows, withdrawal rules and any third-party or conversion charges. Those details were not uniformly captured across all entities in the current database, so the profile uses “Not publicly available” rather than filling gaps from comparison websites. A small withdrawal test can provide operational evidence, but it does not replace regulator and entity verification.

Customer Support

The available support summary is: Research, banking services, education and multi-channel support. Support hours, languages, telephone numbers and email addresses should be checked on the entity-specific contact page immediately before publication. Users should contact firms through independently verified official details, particularly when an unsolicited representative provides a different domain, messaging number or payment instruction.

Important Considerations

The execution and risk note states: Bank-deposit protection applies only where legally eligible; do not apply Swiss protections to all affiliates. The regulatory-history note states: No current serious restriction identified. The recorded conflict or qualification is: Two official pages showed different spread starting points because they referred to different accounts/regions. The unresolved research item is: Build account-tier and legal-entity pricing table before comparison publication. The principal source set used in this review included Swissquote regulatory information, Swissquote ROW forex accounts. All information was last checked on 10 July 2026. Users and editors should repeat the official-register and legal-document checks before opening an account, depositing funds or presenting the broker in a jurisdiction-specific ranking.
