Is Swiss Vests regulated? The truth is that we hope to gain our regulation very shortly. But does that change the way we treat our traders? Absolutely not! Everyone at Swiss Vests takes note of the stringent regulatory measures tier one regulatory bodies ask forex brokerages to implement. Read on to see how we carry out all our regulatory commitments.
As we’ve stated throughout our website, you and your investment with us are all that count. Without you and all of our traders Swiss Vests is just a company, and not a successful one! To ensure that your protection remains steadfast, we carry out a set of processes, which you can read below.
Here are the processes Swiss Vests carries out to ensure your security as a trader. You’ll find that they’re in line with some of the biggest regulated Forex brokerages in the world:
When you sign up to get your Swiss Vests trading account, we ask if you’ve read our Terms & Conditions as well as our GDPR compliant Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, you’re free to talk to us at any time.
KYC stands for “Know Your Client”, and when you’ve registered your Swiss Vests trading account, we commence our KYC processes. Just like all tier 1 regulatory bodies insist, we’re very strict and careful as to whom we allow to first of all invest with us, use our trading account, or partner with us.
AML, which is the acronym of Anti-Money Laundering, is an extremely important practice that we and all regulated Forex brokerages need to carry out. The Swiss Vests Account Opening Team reviews all new account applications and runs its AML checks to see if they can proceed and open the account.
You request a withdrawal. You’ll receive your money. We’ll never deny you access to your funds. They’re yours. Any profits you generate from trading are yours, too. The only time we will cancel a withdrawal request is if it breaches our Terms & Conditions. If you do, our Back Office Team will be in touch so that any issues can be resolved.
Our award-winning trading platform is extremely easy to use, but does that mean that anyone can simply deposit funds and use it to trade the world’s markets? Absolutely not! We will provide trading coaching to everyone who needs it, which is especially true of inexperienced traders who have never invested in the financial markets.
We’ve embedded best-in-class Risk Management features into the Swiss Vests trading platform and they’re there to protect you when the markets turn against the trades you’ve placed. Your Swiss Vests coach will train you how to set all your Risk Management criteria. Adding a Stop Loss and Take Profit are key to every successful trade.
Trading Forex and CFDs isn’t for everyone. Why? Because trading financial markets via CFD products is extremely risky. We need you to understand that your investment can go down as well as up. Every page on the Swiss Vests website has our risk disclaimers on it. Take heed, research before placing a trade, and never place any trade if you’re unsure about what you’re doing. If you think that your “gut feeling” that a specific trade will work for you, think again. We have had many traders complain about losing their investments when the markets turned against them. Don’t become a statistic! Take as much information from our trading coaches as you can. When you’re ready, place your trade, then keep your eyes on the markets to see how it’s going.
You’ve now seen how we do things at Swiss Vests, especially from a regulatory and compliance standpoint. Swiss Vests is a regulated brokerage in the way we act and treat you and all our traders. The Swiss Vests Management Team also wants you to know that you’re in good hands as our stringent policies and procedures are there to protect you and your investment! Safeguarding you is our chief goal, and we have been successfully safeguarding our traders for a while now.
You’ve got your brand new Swiss Vests trading account and you can’t wait to jump right into trading the markets. We get that, and we love your enthusiasm, but you do need to understand that trading Forex and other CFDs is risky. As our new trader, all we ask is that you do your research on the trades you’re going to place. We also ask that you work with Swiss Vests staff if they need anything from you, such as Proof of Address (PoA). Documents like the PoA are part our KYC process, and we ask for them to safeguard you and us.
Our Compliance Team follows every circular distributed by top tier regulators (FCA, CySEC & ASIC) and we make changes to our compliance policies based on what the regulators require from us and our traders.
Our Back Office Team works on the AML & KYC processes, and these processes are carried out on all our traders. The Swiss Vests Back Office Team is polite and they’re humans too, so work with them for your own betterment.
