Your Swissquote wallet currently only supports transfers for the following cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, XTZ, DOT, COMP, LINK, MATIC or UNI. Trying to deposit any other currency may result in the loss of your transferred funds. 

Deposits from an exchange

You can transfer cryptocurrency to your Swissquote account from any of the following whitelisted exchanges:

• Coinbase
• Kraken
• Bittrex
• Gemini
• Bitstamp

Deposits from any other exchanges will be rejected and may incur additional transaction fees.

Please note that for legal reasons, deposits from exchanges are subject to additional confirmation steps: you will be required to provide screenshots of the transaction.

Withdrawals to an exchange

Withdrawals from your Swissquote wallet to a cryptocurrency exchange are currently not supported. Attempts to transfer cryptocurrency to an exchange could result in the loss of the transferred funds.

For cryptocurrency deposits (i.e. transfers to your Swissquote account) of a value in excess of USD 100’000, please contact our Customer Care.

Transfers ordered during weekends or holidays will only be processed from the following working day.

There are no fees for cryptocurrency deposits of a value equivalent or superior to USD 500. Deposits under that value and withdrawals incur a USD 10 or 15 flat fee.

While there is no minimum deposit amount, please note that your Swissquote wallet only supports 8 decimal places. This means that deposits of smaller cryptocurrency fractions will not be accounted for.

As Swissquote’s Ethereum transactions are generated from smart contracts, a common cause for the rejection of Ether deposits is an insufficient Ethereum gas limit. We recommend that you specify a gas limit of 40’000 on your external wallet prior to initiating the transaction, to ensure that it is executed promptly. Consult the help of your external wallet for details on setting gas limits. If you are still experiencing rejected transactions and cannot determine the cause, please contact our Customer Care Centre.

Yes, all Bitcoin addresses formats are supported.

Gas prices are transaction fees related to the ethereum blockchain. These fees are independent from Swissquote and can vary tremendously depending of the number of transactions on the Ethereum on the blockchain at any given time. Make sure to check gas prices before a making transaction, to be informed of the potential fees and transfer times. Visit etherscan.io/gastracker for real-time updates.
