Protection of Client Funds

Are my deposits protected under the deposit insurance esisuisse

Yes, like any bank and any securities firm in Switzerland, Saxo Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. is required to sign the Self-regulation “Agreement between esisuisse and its members”. This means clients’ deposits (according to art. 42c par. 2 Banking Ordinance financial intermediaries are excluded) are protected up to a maximum of CHF 100,000 per client. Common assets in joint accounts will be added up and will be protected up to a total of CHF 100’000. Medium-term notes held in the name of the bearer at the issuing bank are also considered deposits. Depositor protection in Switzerland is provided by esisuisse, and the depositor protection system is explained in detail at https://www.esisuisse.ch/en.
