Licencia, leída en el registro

Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme. Rows without a tier are recorded without classification rather than guessed.

Founded in 2004, Dukascopy Bank operates under FINMA regulation as both a bank and securities firm. The firm claims to connect over 20 major banks through its SWFX platform, though this is a self-measured assertion. With a focus on institutional clients, it emphasizes a minimum turnover requirement of USD 2 billion within two years for its white-label program.
