Swissquote Launches Crypto Exchange SQX - Swissquote Broker News



Oct 31, 2022  
Swissquote announces the release of its own crypto exchange, SQX. The exchange provides a new central order book SQX, which sources and aggregates liquidity from different liquidity centers.

The pioneer of online banking and digital assets in Switzerland, Swissquote, launched a crypto exchange called SQX. With the introduction of SQX, Swissquote greatly enhances the customers' crypto experience.

The crypto market is now filled with exchange networks. Therefore, Swissquote does not want to lose. The Swiss company presents the ideal solution to get the best liquidity conditions from the crypto market, through the feature of the new central order book SQX, which sources and aggregates liquidity from different liquidity centers. This results in more competitive bids and asks prices than ever before in a secure, 24/7 trading environment.

"Swissquote is at the forefront of innovation and was one of the first institutions in Europe with a banking license to offer cryptocurrency trading. The launch of our own crypto exchange is an important step forward in offering our customers deeper liquidity and faster execution,” says Marc Bürki, CEO of Swissquote. “In terms of services for institutional clients, SQX also represents an increase in competitiveness when it comes to offering trading and custody services to other banks and brokers."

In the initial phase, Bancor Network (BNT) will be available on SQX. Later, other cryptocurrencies will be added gradually, so that clients will not see any changes to the front end of the Swissquote trading platform.

Live chat support - terrible. The guy there doesn't know much, plus their policy on not helping people over the chat is also terrible. They can't help you with almost anything over the chat. Typical response you get is- send email to support@swissquote.ch and they will be able to help you. Even when you are asking about very basic stuff, like informations about their products. And when you send email, you will wait 3-4 days for response.

They (or their payment vendors) charge high fees, like 2% just for deposit. Only free option is bank wire transfer. You also pay for withdrawals $20 for each withdrawal. So you lost money (and time) with this broker before you even made your first trade. Spreads - Terrible. Double the standard spreads of other popular brokers on all instruments at all times.

Stay away from this low quality market maker. Account opening - pain in the ass. Too complicated and long process. First you have to either speak with them on cam chat, or send them your documents by mail. Then pain in the ass starts by trying to actually log in to your account. Their chat shuts down when you swith pages on their website, so the support cannot navigate you throughout this process. I spent 1 hour on the phone...

When I tried to open an account, I had to do a video identification, which is fine, but at first it would not connect, then they were to busy. When I finally got connected, I was interacting with someone that spoke English like a 2 year old. After which I was email personal questions that I would never answer, I reply that I would not answer these ridiculous questions and that I was declining them.

Before I had even finished opening my account I had a very rude phone call from a man trying to get me to finish opening my account or something. Was not feeling comfortable so tried to end the conversation instead was told if I could not deposit £1000 pounds right then I may aswell not open the account, or something along those lines his English wasn't great. Amazing the lack of good customer service.
