Swissquote Luxembourg
Swissquote Luxembourg: I wasted a lot of time to upload everything then I called then I wrote email . I should have understood from the beginning that it is flawed. First it asks for a deposit to activate account then it refuses it then it accepts it Today after many days(about 2 weeks) I received email of refusal and money back . I followed all criteria and my country is in the list …. Very bad experience: they are arrogant because of the name Swiss… and what ???

I had several issues at opening an account online such as many attempts, fails at identification process with selfie and id-scanning. Besides this I could not enter my marketing discount code. As a major online bank such technical issues should not occur. Also regulatory topics took a while to clarify but this is understandable. I really hope technical issues will not continue in future.

The fees are relatively high compared to other brokers such as Interactive Brokers or Degiro.
For investors who trade frequently with small amounts, transaction costs can increase quickly.
Additional fees apply to certain services, such as account custody and currency conversions.
The trading platform may seem somewhat complicated for beginners due to the large number of features and products available.
The spreads and fees for forex and cryptocurrency trading are not always the most competitive on the market.
Interest rates on uninvested cash are sometimes less attractive compared to those offered by other financial institutions.

Multi-currency account that works well
The multi-currency account is great that works perfectly with the bank card (i.e. USD transactions debited in USD if the balance is sufficient). Fair pricing model compared to competitors.
The web and mobile app have well structured screens, easy to navigate, with limited customisation options.

Horrible fees and blocks transfers without reason
I wanted to transfer cash to a big crypto exchange. It got blocked without reason and after asking I got said it's policy. This block cost me already a fair deal of money and I suppose it's to prevent customers from moving money to a different platform with about 10x less fees! Lost my trust now and moving my money. Don't buy crypto here.

Pretty awful. Joining via app - did not work, joining by web-did not work. Money laundering-did not work. Transfer in of equities - did not work, transfer out of equities-did not work. Complaints handeling - gaslighting, confrontational, patronising, no follow up. Closing account via app- does not work. Closing a coconut via browser does not work
Expensive fees for a “sham” customer relation services which is worse than being responded to by bots. Far better off with a pure online service at a fraction of the cost

1.5 months of back-and-forth, rejected with no reason given
Applied for an account in May, and the entire process turned out to be a frustrating waste of time. Instead of a straightforward onboarding, I was put through an endless loop of document requests. My proof of address was rejected twice without any explanation of what was actually wrong with it, and I was then asked to prove my source of funds in painstaking detail, forcing me to dig through months of statements from multiple platforms.
After submitting everything they asked for, I heard nothing for weeks. Only after I chased them myself did I get a reply, and even that was just a vague "still processing." A full month and a half after applying, I finally received a rejection email that gave zero real reason, just a hollow "after careful consideration" line.
If a company is going to drag applicants through this many hoops, submitting document after document, the least they owe you is an actual explanation when they reject you. Instead, I got radio silence followed by a boilerplate brush-off. Whether this is standard practice at Swissquote or I simply had bad luck, the experience felt disorganized, opaque, and disrespectful of applicants' time. I would not recommend this if you're looking for a transparent or efficient onboarding process.

Hello Mangoooo,
We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating such a lengthy onboarding process must have been.
Due to our regulatory obligations, additional documentation may sometimes be required, and for legal reasons we are not always able to provide detailed explanations regarding account opening decisions. Nevertheless, we regret the delays and the lack of communication you experienced. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Impossible to transfer holdings out
Tried to transfer my holdings to another broker due to the relatively expensive custody fees. Filled in their annoying paper form, scanned and submitted it as requested. They called to acknowledge and said they will process it then did nothing. Sent a follow-up which was ignored. This isn’t the way to treat people. I will be forced to liquidate my holdings, transfer cash and re-buy. I will close the account.

Great experience as a newbie
Great experience. I’m not experienced in investment at all. I had to learn a bit how to use the app, pretty intuitive. Also had to learn the terminology to purchase/sell items.
The improvement I was searching for is a tool showing when an item can be sold with profit including the purchase and sales transaction costs.

Enough is enough, I am out of here
I am an old customer and I used to be satisfied until their compliance department started harassing me with KYC crap. Swissquote have become worse than a French bank - that's something. I ended up sending them my tax return to get the intrusive requests to stop and I even had to threaten closing my account for the rep to understand how annoying and disrespectful this was. Dumb questions stem from lack of doing their homework by examining the file and history before asking. What drove me over the edge: a mere few months after a human stopped harassing me, the system is now doing it automatically: blocking access and requesting that I answer the SAME personal questions and upload AGAIN my ID which they already have on file obviously. As soon as I can spare the time I am switching to my old and trusted cantonal bank that does not give me anywhere near this $hit under the excuse of "KYC". At least THEY know and respect me.
Edit: see their reply below. “If I believe…” downright insulting. Why can’t they contact me, after looking at the case? minus one star 🤷
