About Swissquote

Swissquote is a Swiss banking group, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Gland, Switzerland. Listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, it offers forex and multi-asset trading through its proprietary Advanced Trader platform alongside MT4 and MT5, backed by strong regulatory and capital foundations.

The group is regulated by Switzerland's FINMA, the UK's FCA, Dubai's DFSA and Malta's MFSA, spanning several respected jurisdictions.

Clients trade on Advanced Trader, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with access to forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, bonds, crypto CFDs, options and futures — including real stocks and bonds rather than CFDs alone. The minimum lot size is 0.01.

Retail leverage is capped at 1:30 under FCA/MFSA rules, rising to as much as 1:100 under Swiss (FINMA) regulation. With a FinPip rating of 4.4 out of 5, Swissquote suits traders and investors who prioritise the security of a listed Swiss bank and a very broad asset range, accepting spreads and entry requirements above those of discount CFD brokers.
