Growth
The Switzerland-based online bank saw tremendous growth in demand for its products in 2021. The surge in demand was evident in the companys recent financial results. The broker witnessed record results last year. During the past week, Swissquote announced the expansion of its global operations with the acquisition of Keytrade Bank Luxembourg. In 2021, the broker enhanced its European presence and launched several crypto products to facilitate clients.
“Swissquote‘s move to become an issuer for structured products is a further milestone in the continuous development of our product range and will raise our bank’s profile amongst retail and institutional investors. We are convinced that, by cooperating with Leonteq, we will be able to offer our clients a variety of additional innovative investment solutions,” Marc Bürki, the CEO of Swissquote, said in the press release.
