Which legal entity operates the service
InterSwift is a trading name for the entity that owns and manages this website and the related client platform.
The operating company is the entity you contract with when you accept our Terms of Use and establish an account. Its full legal name, its corporate structure, its registration details and the identity of the parent organization are outlined in the client agreement provided during account opening, and are available upon request via the methods described in the "Requesting documentation" section below.
Given that corporate organizations, registration details and service delivery models are subject to change, we intentionally refrain from listing them as permanent content on a promotional website. The client agreement and the documents we provide at account setup constitute the definitive reference; in the event of any inconsistency between this page and those documents, the documents take precedence.
Group companies and service providers
Certain functions - technology hosting, payment processing, market data, customer identification tools - are carried out by specialist third-party providers under written agreements. The categories of provider we use, and the way your personal data is handled by them, are described in our Privacy Policy. We do not disclose provider names on this page.
Regulatory and compliance questions
Questions about our regulatory position, our compliance procedures, or a concern you would like escalated should go to the compliance route rather than to general support.
How do I raise a compliance question?
Send it through the contact page and indicate "Compliance" in the message subject. Supply the account email if you have an existing account, and provide a brief summary of your query.
How do I make a formal complaint?
Apply the same method and indicate "Complaint" in the message subject. You will get a receipt, a case number and an estimate of the timeframe for a full response. If the resolution does not satisfy your concern, the response will detail the further remedies you can pursue.
How should I submit a report regarding fraudulent activity or misappropriation of our name?
Submit your report using the abuse reporting tool. Any instances of fraud involving InterSwift in correspondence, promotions or counterfeit platforms should be reported via this channel to allow us to respond appropriately.
Are institutional or press enquiries handled here?
Yes - send them through the contact page with a clear subject line and they will be routed to the right team.
Jurisdictions served and excluded
The service is offered only where we are permitted to offer it. Availability is assessed at registration on the basis of your country of residence, and it can change.
Where the service is offered
Accounts may be opened by residents of the countries listed as eligible in the registration flow of your account. If your country appears in that list and you pass verification, you can proceed. If it does not appear, the service is not available to you.
Where the service is not offered
- Countries and territories subject to applicable worldwide sanctions or trade restrictions.
- Jurisdictions where supplying this category of service to retail consumers requires a local permission we do not possess.
- Jurisdictions identified as high risk for financial crime under applicable rules.
- Any territory we have chosen to exclude for internal risk reasons.
No solicitation
Nothing on this website is directed at, or intended for distribution to or use by, any person in a jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law. Accessing this site from an excluded jurisdiction does not create a right to use the service. If you move to an excluded jurisdiction while holding an account, tell us - the account may need to be restricted or closed and any balance returned to you.
The regulatory framework we work within
We describe here the type of obligations that govern the service, rather than naming authorities or quoting reference numbers, which belong in the formal documentation.
- 01
Client identification
Every account is verified before funding, trading or withdrawal, in line with the KYC and AML controls described on our KYC & AML page.
- 02
Financial-crime prevention
Sanctions and risk screening, ongoing transaction monitoring, internal escalation procedures and record retention for the periods required by applicable law.
- 03
Handling of client money
Client balances are recorded separately from the operating funds of the business, and payouts are returned to a verified instrument in the client's own name.
- 04
Fair and clear communication
Costs, spreads and any applicable fees are published in your account and on our pricing page. We do not promise specific returns, and all promotional material carries a risk warning.
- 05
Data protection
Personal data is processed on a defined lawful basis, retained only as long as necessary, and protected by access controls and encryption in transit and at rest.
- 06
Complaints handling
A documented procedure for handling complaints internally, including acknowledgment of receipt, thorough examination and a detailed response within the period specified at the time your complaint is received.
In instances where a jurisdiction mandates more stringent conditions than those noted above, those stricter conditions apply to clients based in that jurisdiction.
What InterSwift is not
Articulating what we do not offer holds equal weight as detailing what we do offer.
| Statement | Position |
|---|---|
| Personal investment advice | Not provided. Information, education and market commentary are general in nature and do not take your circumstances into account. |
| Tax, legal or accounting advice | Not provided. Consult an appropriately qualified professional in your jurisdiction. |
| A bank or a deposit account | Balances are not bank deposits, do not earn a guaranteed rate, and are not covered by any deposit-guarantee scheme. |

Your capital is exposed to risk. The worth of your investments may decrease as well as increase and you could obtain back less than your initial contribution. Review the Risk Disclosure prior to deciding whether to use the service.

- 03
Receive the pack
Submissions are handled within the window specified at the time your submission is acknowledged. Certain documents may be furnished in summary format where they contain confidential proprietary information.
