I have a brokerage account in Asia opened up through the mail using
my offshore company. I like Asia better than Europe (which is where
Swissquote is located) because Asia will keep their freedoms for a
while longer than Europe while Europe rapidly moves toward greater
and greater socialism and conformity to islamic customs and laws
and general loss of freedom.
The Mutual Legal Assistance Law in Seychelles "allows for exchange of information in criminal matters, which includes criminal matters relating to revenue (including taxation, customs duties or trade tax). The Act implements the Commonwealth scheme relating to mutual assistance in criminal matters within the Commonwealth and to other countries, where there is a bilateral mutual assistance treaty or to give effect to another treaty or as specified by regulation." Seychelles anti-money laundering legislation only makes this problem worse.
Also, they have signed eight (8) tax treaties - each one with broad exchange clauses in ALL tax matters. Civil matters are not off limits either. No domestic (Seychelles) tax interest has to be involved. Further, the attorney general has direct access to bank information and does not need separate authorization.
I would not bank in Seychelles. If I were a Brit, I'd bank in Panama or Singapore. I'd also check out Malta (while you're there!), Andorra, Monaco, and Hong Kong (not too sure about them).

Swissquote is a trading system. Despite some comments here, they are very good. But because they are based in Switzerland, it will be difficult to open an account there...
I don't think that they allow to Indian to open an account, quite suspicious...

I agree.
They are more a brokerage than a bank. I've used them for years and never had any problems.
The 'underlying' banking arm is UBS.
If you use them for what they are intended, you won't have issues.

Can you send a wire out of Swiss Quote to another brokerage? If you
can then this may indicate they have the capabilities of a traditional
bank and are not just a brokerage. Has anyone ever sent a wire from
Swiss quote to a third party and not back to just the bank where the
wire to Swiss Quote came from originally?
