Swissquote Connection Trend
The link between Swissquote and DFM is framed as one of the several main breakthroughs an online trading services provider has recorded since January 2022 to date.
At the start of the year, Swissquote introduced a new cryptocurrency exchange, SQX, an action that leveled it with its competitors. The launch of SQX was a way to widen the range of Crypto services.
The company praised the existence of the crypto trading venue terming it as a vessel that allows its customers to gain experience in trading, execution, and liquidity.
Swissquote also registered a new app, the TWINT app, in August mainly to serve the payment sector to ease mobile payments for clients.
The app will be released to customers at no fee but this is limited to clients using an eTrading account.
Earlier this year, Swissquote partnered with Leonteq with the mission of launching its first structured product on the Six Swiss Exchange.
The only first structured product that the company holds is a Callable Multi Barrier Reverse Convertible on Logitech and Temenos Group with a yearly interest of 13%.
Logitech is a Swiss-American software and peripherals manufacturer whereas Temenos Group provides software banking and financing.
