BANK PROFILE · Switzerland

Dukascopy Bank

Dukascopy Bank SA

Dukascopy Bank SA is a Geneva-based Swiss bank that appears on FINMA's current list of authorised banks and securities firms. It combines online banking with self-directed multi-asset trading: a Multi-Currency Account in 24 currencies, a Private Banking (Savings) Account, JForex and MetaTrader trading accounts, single stock and ETF CFDs, currency exchange, and fiduciary crypto custody that FINMA authorised in 2022. Its own published documents route managed money to third parties rather than to the bank: the Percent Allocation Management Module lets a client appoint an external manager under a limited trading power of attorney, and the bank states that it does not participate in those trading decisions. No Dukascopy Bank SA discretionary or advisory mandate was located, so neither is claimed. The bank publishes a full public fee schedule, and its own pages state two different Private Banking entry figures — USD 100,000 on the product pages and USD 250,000 in the banking FAQ.
