## Company history

Swissquote’s origins date to 1990, when Marc Bürki and Paolo Buzzi founded Marvel Communications SA, a financial-software company. The Swissquote financial platform launched in 1996, initially offering investors free real-time prices for securities on the Swiss exchange. In 2000, Swissquote Bank received a banking licence and Swissquote Group Holding Ltd was listed on the Swiss exchange on 29 May. [37](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P116106942)[38](https://www.swissquote.com/en/group/company/story)[39](https://www.swissquote.com/en/group/investor-relations) The company expanded its online trading services in 2001–02, acquired Consors (Switzerland) and Skandia Bank Switzerland in 2007, and launched a forex platform in 2008. It subsequently acquired ACM Advanced Currency Markets in 2010 and MIG Bank in 2013. [37](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P116106942)

Swissquote began offering trading and custody in five cryptocurrencies in 2017 and acquired Luxembourg-based Internaxx Bank in 2018, later renaming it Swissquote Bank Europe. In 2021, it launched the Yuh digital-banking app with PostFinance as a joint venture. Swissquote expanded into South Africa in 2023 and introduced savings plans and fractional trading in 2024. In July 2025, it acquired PostFinance’s remaining stake in Yuh, making the venture wholly owned.
