You can trade cryptocurrencies from your eTrading platform or through the cryptocurrency service in your eBanking portal.

You must hold a Swissquote trading account with cash available in EUR and/or USD, as currently cryptocurrencies cannot be traded directly against CHF.

You can trade cryptocurrencies from our mobile apps, our Crypto Assets platform (accessible from your eBanking or trading platform) and/or from the trading Workspace.

Most digital assets are quoted on USD and/or EUR and you can trade them as long as you have a positive buying power. Bear in mind that if you traded but you don’t have USD (or EUR) on your account, we may charge you debt interest on the lent USD (or EUR) amount.

Yes, custody fees apply to crypto-assets and are levied quarterly. Our fees contribute to guaranteeing the safety of our clients’ digital assets and the security of our custody solutions, in order to deliver state-of-the-art systems that include multi-signature wallets, offline storage of cryptographic materials and strict access-control policies.

As a regulated Swiss bank, we offer competitive transaction fees on a degressive basis depending on the amount of transactions you make. More details can be found on the dedicated pricing section of our website.
