Regulation

Who licenses Swissquote.

Licences as Swissquote lists them. A tick means we found the entity on the regulator's own register.

Regulator	Tier	Entity	Licence no.	On register
FINMA	TIER 1	Swissquote Bank Ltd		Not yet checked
CySEC	TIER 2	Swissquote Capital Markets Limited	422/22	Not yet checked

Accounts

Published EUR/USD costs.

Account	Spread	Commission	Cost / lot
Forex/CFD (all-in spread)	—	$0	—

Cost per standard lot = spread in pips × $10 + round-turn commission. Brokers publish “typical”, “average” or “from” spreads; “from” figures flatter the broker.
