Swissquote Introduces Innovative Securities Lending Program

Swissquote, a market leader in Swiss online banking, has developed an innovative securities lending service, which promises a new way to generate additional income from investment assets. This ground-breaking concept enables Swissquote customers to lend out their stocks and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) to reputable financial institutions, providing a monthly income and the ability to continue earning dividends.

This effort significantly expands Swissquote's existing comprehensive online banking options. The securities lending service is effortlessly linked to customers' bank accounts and Swissquote's user-friendly applications, allowing all private clients to participate without requiring a minimum deposit.

The program includes several investment tools, such as individual stocks and select ETFs, which are recognized for their long-term value growth and dividend yield. Clients who participate in this securities lending option may add to their passive income stream.

Swissquote's approach to securities lending is customer-centric, with a simple registration and agreement procedure that includes a detailed description of the related risks. Clients may apply this option to their whole portfolio or exclude individual assets by contacting Swissquote's customer service.

Swissquote's securities lending program is notable for its dedication to loan solely to top-tier banks and reputable financial institutions. These businesses often need assets to ensure smooth capital market activities, such as for trade settlements or as collateral. Even throughout the financing time, customers continue to profit from any asset value increases and get all customary income, including cash dividends. It is crucial to remember, however, that customers will be unable to vote at shareholder meetings during this time.

The securities lending market is demand-driven, with loan and prospective profits determined by the rarity and demand for certain assets. Swissquote guarantees customer security by maintaining collateral worth 105% of the borrowed assets, providing peace of mind and financial protection. The collaboration with Sharegain, a securities lending specialist situated in key financial hubs such as London and New York City, expands Swissquote's offering by giving direct access to a network of interested borrowing institutions.

Jan De Schepper, Swissquote's Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, emphasized that securities lending is no longer limited to big investors.

Clients of all portfolio sizes may now take advantage of this opportunity, increasing the income from assets they currently hold.

Boaz Yaari, Founder and CEO of Sharegain, is excited about the relationship, which aims to provide value to Swissquote's customers while also democratizing an industry previously controlled by bigger financial institutions.
