We are glad to say you can request an account via our website, giving information online to register for the service you want. We check the registration and then send you the account opening documents.

If you then would like to open the account, you can send us the signed documents including a notarized copy of your passport and proof of address by post to the following address:

Swissquote Bank Ltd
Ch. de la Crétaux 33
Case Postale 1032
CH-1196 Gland

Alongside the postal option, you can also complete the account opening directly online. This means you can sign the contract online with confirmation. You can confirm your identity via video conferencing or by uploading a copy of your passport. If you choose to upload a copy of your ID, you must use a Swiss bank account for the first transaction of your new Swissquote account.

After giving your personal data to register for a new account on the website, you will receive guidelines about digital account opening and the required documents.

For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Center by telephone on +41 44 825 88 88. Our employees are available Monday through Friday between 8.00am and 10.00pm and will be pleased to help you.

If you are in Switzerland, you can have your passport/ID card/driving license notarized free of charge at any post office or SBB ticket office using Swissquote vouchers (which we are happy to send on request). We are also happy to provide notarized passport copies in the Swissquote lounge in Gland or Zurich. So please do visit us at our locations.
