Swissquote Forex is a forex & CFD broker based in Hong Kong, operating for 10-15 years. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 7.1 out of 10, which we rate as Good — above the industry average of 3.3/10. Solid, well-regulated profile suitable for most traders.
Crucially, Swissquote Forex is regulated by SFC, FCA, MFSA, FINMA and DFSA, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
Swissquote Forex provides access to forex and CFDs. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:100. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, Swissquote Forex looks like a credible option — but always verify the licence yourself and start with a small amount.

Frequently asked
Is Swissquote Forex a safe broker?
Swissquote Forex scores 7.1 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 3.3 industry average. It holds tier-1 regulation, which offers strong investor protection. It has no complaints on record. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the Swissquote Forex trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from Swissquote Forex?
Swissquote Forex publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
