Dedicated Dukascopy Swiss Forex Group negative reviews are not uncommon on the Internet, but, anyway, this broker is more often praised than criticized. Perhaps the main reason for the positive attitude of the Forex community to this brand remains Swiss registration and license. At its core, Dukascopy is both a broker and a Forex bank- this corporate structure format is conditioned by the requirements of Swiss law. Thus, one brand combines two interconnected directions:
- Brokerage house SWFX;
- Swiss Forex Bank and Marketplace.
The company is headquartered in Geneva. At the same time, the group’s network is represented by a number of units in the largest cities in Europe and Asia:
- Dukascopy Bank SA: Geneva, zurich, Kiev, Hong Kong, Moscow;
- Dukascopy Europe IBS AS: Riga;
- Dukascopy Community (Shanghai) Co: Shanghai.
Development plans for the near future include the establishment of a representative office in Kaula Lumpur. The financial group is registered in Switzerland and regulated by FINMA.
