Our verdict
Swissborg bundles custody, staking and liquid staking in a free mobile app, and it trades under an Autorité des Marchés Financiers authorisation in France. It suits people who want buying, holding and earning on crypto in one place, though the median share of retail accounts that lose money is 70.15%.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Custody, staking and liquid staking all sit in the same mobile app, so a coin can be held and put to work on one platform (custodial, staking and liquid staking).
- Funding covers card, bank and apple pay, giving you more than a single route to add money.
- It publishes proof of reserves and trades under an AMF authorisation, A2026-011, with a MiCA number in MiCA CASP 969500PZJWT3TD1SUI59.
Cons
- Custody here is custodial, so the platform holds the coins rather than you holding the keys.
- Withdrawals cost an execution fee on top of the real-time gas fee for crypto, and an execution fee on fiat within a floor and a cap.
- Support runs on help centre and community only, so urgent account issues go through written help and the community.
Who it suits
- People who want to hold, stake and liquid stake crypto without moving between platforms.
- Euro area users who want several routes to fund the account, listed as card, bank and apple pay.
- Investors who accept custodial storage to get an all in one app.
Who should look elsewhere
- Vivid Plus if you would rather sit with the AFM in the Netherlands, Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), than the AMF in France.
- eToro if a SIPC registration alongside CySEC, Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and SIPC, shapes your choice.
- XTB if you want derivatives, which Swissborg does not offer.

Frequently asked questions
What does Swissborg cost to use?+
Downloading the mobile app costs €0, and charges centre on trading and withdrawals rather than on a subscription. Crypto withdrawals take an execution fee plus the real-time gas fee, and fiat withdrawals take an execution fee with a floor and a cap. For context, the median taker fee across the listed crypto exchanges is 0.2%.
Is Swissborg regulated?+
Swissborg runs through BLOCKNODES SAS, which the Autorité des Marchés Financiers in France lists under A2026-011. A MiCA crypto asset service provider number also appears as MiCA CASP 969500PZJWT3TD1SUI59, and the regulators recorded for the platform are Autorite des Marches Financiers (AMF) and Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF).
How do I deposit money?+
Funding runs through card, bank and apple pay, so there is more than one route to add money to the account. Because the platform is cex and custody is custodial, the balance you build up is one the platform holds for you. Proof of reserves is published, which is a point in favour of a custodial setup.
What can I hold and earn on?+
Custody, staking and liquid staking sit in the same app, as custodial, staking and liquid staking shows, so a coin can be held and put to work without moving platform. Derivatives are not available here. The wallet type is mobile, so the wallet side of the product is the phone app rather than a hardware or browser device.
Can I hold my own keys?+
Custody is custodial, which means the platform holds the assets rather than you holding the keys. That is the trade for having custody, staking and liquid staking together in one app. If holding your own keys matters more than convenience, a self custody wallet is the route that fits better.
What support do I get?+
Support runs on help centre and community, which is a help centre and a community. No phone line or email channel is listed alongside them, so a locked account or a stuck withdrawal is handled through written help and the community rather than a direct call.
How long has Swissborg been running?+
The business was founded in 2018, with BLOCKNODES SAS as the legal entity. The product is built around a cex and a mobile wallet, and the mix centres on custody, staking and liquid staking through custodial, staking and liquid staking rather than on share dealing.
