The brokers listed here have been reviewed for Swiss traders seeking access to the forex market, with attention to regulation, fees, and trading conditions. In Switzerland, forex brokers are supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), a tier 1 regulator known for strict standards on capital adequacy, client fund segregation, and transparency. Unlike EU member states, Switzerland does not impose a national leverage cap for retail forex trading, but FINMA sets rigorous requirements to protect client assets and maintain market integrity. Most forex brokers serving Swiss residents are either locally licensed or operate through international entities with equivalent regulatory oversight.

Leverage limits vary by jurisdiction. Under FINMA rules, traders in Switzerland may be subject to local leverage restrictions, for example capped at 1:30 for major pairs. Check the specific broker's terms for the leverage available to residents of Switzerland.
