Pros
- Real, well established Swiss bank, founded in Vaud back in 1845
- Supervised by FINMA, a strict and well respected Swiss regulator
- Strong credit ratings, A1 from Moody's and AA from Standard and Poor's
- Offers real spot, forward, swap, and option currency deals through eFOREX
Cons
- Not a retail CFD broker, so leveraged speculative trading is not the focus
- Built mainly for corporate treasury and wealth management clients
- No state guarantee on its liabilities, unlike some other cantonal banks
- Not a natural fit for traders searching specifically for a forex broker
Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, known as BCV, opened in 1845 as the cantonal bank of Vaud, Switzerland. It is supervised by FINMA, the Swiss financial regulator, under a registered Swiss company number, and Moody's rates it A1 for long term credit.
BCV runs a service called eFOREX for spot, forward, swap, and option currency deals. This is built for corporate treasury and wealth management clients who need to manage real currency risk, not for retail traders looking for leveraged CFD speculation.
Unlike some other Swiss cantonal banks, BCV does not carry a state guarantee on its liabilities, though its own credit ratings from Moody's and Standard and Poor's remain strong. Traders searching for a typical retail forex broker will not find one here.
