UPDATED: Worth the wait, smooth and professional once verified


[UPDATED]: As for any service I review on Trustpilot, I must always come back in case of any new changes, so here am I:

I’ll admit, at first I was frustrated because the verification process alongside limit increases took around ~10-14 days and the documentation requirements felt heavy.

Having worked in AML and KYC myself, I fully understand the level of due diligence required, so I get where Dukascopy is coming from. And honestly, once everything was approved, Dukascopy has been nothing short of outstanding. Everything runs smoothly now, transactions, communication, support, all top-notch.

After seeing so many negative reviews online, I think a lot of people overlook how much work goes into maintaining a fully regulated bank with limited staff. Based on their staff size and compliance standards, what they deliver is actually impressive. They’ve more than earned my respect.

Frankly, after using the usual so called “fully regulated fintechs” (Payoneer, Bankera, etc.), the difference is obvious. If you’re still with them, ask yourself why… Because the better move is Dukascopy. They run a tight, compliant operation and deliver solid service day to day. And most importantly, they’re an ACTUAL legitimate bank, no “fintech” nonsense.

I’m glad I made the switch and I recommend others do the same. I’ll be leaving more reviews based on actual truthful experiences with them along my new journey with them, stay tuned :)

Cards fees

I don't like the monthly and annual fees of the cards . We want a card with fees and costs based on transactions on the card and not monthly fees.

Good Experience with Dukascopy

I opened an account with Dukascopy Bank and so far my experience has been very good. The mobile app is simple to use, transfers work smoothly, and I like that I can hold money in different currencies. Customer service answered my questions quickly and in a professional way. Overall, it feels like a solid and reliable bank.

I have been trying for a couple of months to obtain a payment card. Whoever is providing the advice in the background do not look at my issues and ask basic questions but when you tell them it's not working, they go underground and some other random person asks the same question. It's truly obvious that they don't care but if I had millions in the account they would bend over backwards to assist. The support is inconsistent and my comments are largely ignored. They offer advice incompatible to the issue. All I want is a payment card so I can facilitate funds into the account.

In my experience

In my experience, Dukascopy operates in a way that can work against the trader’s best interests. When trades become profitable, unexpected platform or account issues may arise, execution can be questionable, and withdrawals may be delayed or obstructed.

As a counterparty broker, your losses directly benefit them — creating an inherent conflict of interest. Based on my personal experience, I would strongly advise against trusting Dukascopy with your trading capital, your financial details, or your personal details.

Dear James Freeman,

We respectfully disagree with the concerns you have raised. As a fully regulated Swiss bank, Dukascopy maintains the highest industry standards and undergoes regular regulatory audits. Our customer service quality and trade execution protocols operate independently of individual position profitability.

To better assist you, we would appreciate specific details regarding any execution concerns, including the exact time, date, and financial instrument involved. Similarly, if you have experienced any withdrawal difficulties, please provide us with the relevant account details, withdrawal amount, and timing.

We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation and welcome the opportunity to address your concerns either publicly on this platform or through private correspondence, whichever you prefer.

We look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

Kind regards,

Very Disappointing and Unprofessional Handling by Dukascopy

After weeks of trying to clarify a transaction, I am extremely disappointed by how Dukascopy treated me as a client.
My account was blocked over a €200 payment received on June 9, 2025, related to my Binance P2P trading activity. The buyer who sent the funds was a verified Binance user, and I had multiple transactions that day. To ensure fast service, I released the crypto after receiving a Swiss bank confirmation message — a method commonly used by many traders when dealing with verified users.
Despite this, Dukascopy froze my account and ignored the full, transparent explanation I provided, which included:
All related trade details and transaction IDs
Full name and phone number of the sender
Binance chat screenshots and payment confirmation
Proof that this is standard P2P procedure
Instead of communicating or asking for further clarification, they simply closed my account and kept my balance — with no proper response or explanation. Their compliance process is unclear, and I was treated unfairly despite being fully cooperative.
I had trusted Dukascopy and even left positive feedback earlier. But this experience has been unacceptable and damaging to my business.
⚠️ If you are a crypto trader or P2P user — be very cautious. Their reaction shows no understanding of how modern financial platforms work, and no support for legitimate users.

Unacceptable Rejection of International Transfer – No Clear Reaso

I transferred $100 USD from my Saudi bank account to Dukascopy with all correct beneficiary details and documents. The transfer was confirmed as successful by my bank (Alinma), yet Dukascopy rejected the funds without a proper explanation.

This experience shows a lack of transparency and poor support from Dukascopy. I submitted passport, ID, and proof of transfer. Still, I didn’t receive a valid reason — they blamed internal issues or “risk rules” with no clarification.

If you do not support transfers from Saudi Arabia, why let people create accounts or provide SWIFT details? You wasted my time, money, and effort. Very disappointing and unprofessional.

Dear Abdullateef,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.

We would like to clarify that there are no issues on our side with receiving transactions from Saudi Arabian banks. We do receive transfers from these institutions regularly. Your account manager has already provided you with the correct funding instructions, including all necessary intermediary bank details. This information is also available on our official website and has been sent to you via email.

Upon reviewing the SWIFT copy you provided, we noticed that the intermediary bank account details used in the transaction do not match the instructions we shared with you. This discrepancy may have caused the issue with the transfer. Please ensure that all details — particularly those of the intermediary bank — are entered exactly as provided in our official instructions.

Please note that we have not rejected any incoming transactions to your account. If the correct details are used, the transfer should reach our bank without any issues.

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Dukascopy support team

Excellent Experience with Dukascopy Bank - A Few Tweaks Would Make It Perfect!

I've been a client of Dukascopy Bank for some time now, and I couldn't be happier with their services overall. They truly offer a comprehensive solution for both banking and investment needs.

What stands out to me is their transparent fee structure. While it's true that transactions in non-euro currencies might incur slightly higher costs, their commissions for euro operations are very competitive and what I'd consider "normal" and reasonable. This makes them an excellent choice if you primarily deal in euros, and even for other currencies, the value they provide is still top-notch.

The platform is user-friendly, very simple one.

Room for Improvement: Quarterly Income Limit
The one area I believe could be improved is the quarterly income limit. Unlike "normal" retail banks, this restriction can sometimes make day-to-day operations a bit less convenient. Removing or significantly increasing this limit would allow for much smoother and more comfortable banking, making Dukascopy an even more formidable choice for regular use.

Despite this minor point, I highly recommend Dukascopy Bank to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient financial partner in another jurisdiction.

Support is too slow

Their support is too slow to respond. Tried to get deposit limit increased without success as they require strict supporting documents. It has been days trying to get this progressed, but still struggling.
Update: It seems Trustpilot is how to get attention. Since posting this my issue was resolved. Unfortunately, until I see better response times from their support, my view remains the same. When money is on hold, you just can’t keep the client waiting for days without providing updates.

Update: Dukascopy replied.. somehow they have addressed their reply to someone else!

Increase the limits

I submitted two requests to increase the limits and did not receive any response. I sent a message through their chat and after 10 days they tell me that my name is not on the screenshots and that the pictures I sent are not enough. Did it take all this time for them to tell me this only and as for the chat, no one responds to you
I do not advise anyone to try this bank. The service is not good and the limits are unreasonable, 3000 in a quarter.
