    • Swissquote, founded in 1999, is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, from which it has a banking license. It offers online access to financial products like bonds, options and futures, as well as credit card and savings account services.

    Swissquote CEO Marc Bürki said in a statement:

    "This is our first foray into the world of bitcoin, and so we wanted to work with a partner we could rely on. Bitstamp's focus on regulation and compliance, as well as its payment institution [license], made it the standout choice for our needs."

    The collaboration represents yet another another traditional financial service launching a new bitcoin-related offering.

    Earlier this week, Swiss private bank Falcon announced a partnership with Bitcoin Sussie AG, providing its high-net worth individual and institutional investors with the ability to exchange and hold bitcoin.
