Swissquote: institutional due diligence FAQ

Key supervisory, licensing, and counterparty verification questions generated from the dataset.

What is Swissquote's regulatory licence status and supervisory authorisation?

In our imported dataset, Swissquote (legal entity reference: Swissquote Asia Limited) holds 6 recorded licence entries, of which 5 carry a "regulated" status and 5 are marked regulated or registered: DFSA (Dubai Financial Services Authority) — licence F001438, status: regulated, Tier-2; FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) — licence Number pending check, status: regulated, Tier-1; MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) — licence 226182, status: regulated, Tier-1; FCA (Financial Conduct Authority (UK)) — licence 562170, status: suspected clone, Tier-1; SFC (Securities and Futures Commission) — licence AZV127, status: regulated, Tier-1; CYSEC (Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission) — licence 422/22, status: regulated, Tier-2. Institutional due diligence requires verifying that the exact legal entity on your counterparty agreement matches the licensed entity name and registration number on the official DFSA, FINMA, MAS public register.

Which of Swissquote's jurisdictions and licences fall within this site's regulatory coverage?

Swissquote is registered at Suites 3202-4, Level 32/F ICBC Tower 3 Garden Road Central, Hong Kong and tracked under our institutions licensed in offshore financial centres scope based on its institutional service profile (Cryptocurrencies, Precious metals, Indices, Stocks) rather than a domestic focus licence. Its 6 recorded licences (DFSA, FINMA, MAS, FCA, SFC, CYSEC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.

What is Swissquote's institutional risk classification, enforcement exposure, and score profile?

Swissquote carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 0 regulatory warning or complaint counts and 1 licence record with elevated status flags (FCA: suspected clone). Because these figures reflect imported source fields rather than primary audit findings, compliance teams should review primary enforcement bulletins directly.

What operational due diligence steps apply to Swissquote's platforms, entity structure, and complaints?

Before allocating capital or executing trades with Swissquote, institutional and retail allocators should: (1) confirm the domain (not supplied in source) against regulator-approved domains to guard against clone firms; (2) verify whether any of the 0 recorded warning/complaint entries or 0 user comments involve withdrawal restrictions or scope violations; and (3) confirm the dispute-resolution ombudsman tied to DFSA.
