Swissquote’s 2025 Revenue and Pre-Tax Profits Beat Guidance

Swissquote expects to close 2025 with net revenue of at least CHF 720 million, while its pre-tax profit for the year may come close to CHF 420 million. Both figures are significantly higher than the previous year, when the company generated a pre-tax profit of CHF 345 million on revenue of CHF 655 million.

Another Exceptional Year

Although the expected revenue for the recently closed year exceeded the company’s guidance of CHF 700 million, the expected pre-tax profit increased sharply from the CHF 365 million forecast.

FinanceMagnates.com reported earlier that the Swiss online bank and trading platform closed the first six months of 2025 with net revenue of CHF 358.2 million and a pre-tax profit of CHF 185.2 million.

“The results were supported by customer growth and steady revenues, as well as one-off items with a net positive impact of about CHF 50 million,” Swissquote said in its announcement on Friday.

Meanwhile, client assets on the platform approached CHF 89 billion by the end of 2025, as the company added CHF 8.5 billion in net new funds during the year.

Swissquote's Bet on Yuh

The Swiss company also noted that its “most significant exceptional item” last year was taking full control of Yuh, a digital finance platform. It previously held a 50 per cent stake and acquired the remaining share from PostFinance, paying CHF 89.8 million in cash and treasury shares.

Earlier, Swissquote revealed that Yuh added 342,369 accounts in the first half of 2025, a yearly increase of 44.5 per cent. Client assets on the platform also jumped by 56.5 per cent to CHF 3.2 billion.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Swissquote, Dr Markus Dennler, decided to step down, as the board proposed Hans-Rudolf Köng to take up the role.

Interestingly, the Swiss broker is now looking for a Chief Executive for its South African operations. It entered the country in March 2024 by acquiring Optimatrade Investment Partners, a Cape Town company that had worked as an introducer broker for more than ten years.
