Our verdict
Värdex Suisse is a Swiss ATM network rather than a full exchange, so it suits people who want to buy a small set of coins with cash and hold them themselves. Its 2 and self custody make it a narrow tool, not a broad platform, and the 0.5 overall score reflects that.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Coins held in self custody, so the keys stay with the holder
- Fiat top-ups run through card, no bank transfer needed
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, including a help centre
- Regulated in CH by VQF (Financial Services Standards Association)
Cons
- A very short list of 2, far below the 353 upper quartile across exchanges
- Derivatives are no, so there is nothing to trade beyond spot coins
- Custody is self-custody only, so lost keys mean lost coins
Who it suits
- Swiss residents who want cash to coins without a bank transfer
- Holders who already keep their own keys and want a small top-up point
- People who only need a few coins and not a full trading account
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a long coin list, where etoro lists from 150
- Traders who need derivatives, since this brand has none
- People who prefer a custodial setup, since Värdex Suisse is self-custody only

Frequently asked questions
How many coins can I buy?+
The network covers 2, which is a very short list next to exchanges that run into the hundreds. If you want a broad selection of assets, this will feel restrictive.
Who holds my coins?+
Custody sits with you, listed as self custody, so keys never sit on a platform account. That means you are responsible for backups, and recovery depends on your own records.
How do I add money?+
Fiat deposits run through card at ATM network machines, so no bank transfer step is needed. Bring cash to a machine and the coins land in your own wallet.
Is Värdex Suisse regulated?+
It is supervised in CH by VQF (Financial Services Standards Association), and the legal entity behind the service is Värdex Suisse AG. The service has been running since 2017.
Can I trade derivatives?+
Derivatives are no on this service, so there are no futures, perpetuals or leveraged products here. It is a spot-only, cash-in, hold-your-own arrangement.
What kind of service is it?+
It is a cex, not a decentralised exchange, though the coins themselves sit in self custody. You are buying at a machine rather than matching orders with other traders.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so you can reach the team by phone or email, or work through the help centre. Phone and email both sit above the 74.4% share seen across the site.
How does the coin count compare?+
With 2 coins, this ranks well down the list of 176 brands compared on coins, at position 164. Larger platforms such as bunq at from 350 are the better pick for variety.
