Dukascopy Bank is both a bank and a broker. It is a Swiss bank that is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). It also has a brokerage subsidiary, Dukascopy Europe IBS AS, which is regulated by the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC) in Latvia.

If you are concerned about the risk, you can always contact Dukascopy Bank to discuss your specific circumstances.........IMO do not do it ....

Yes, it would be seen by Dukascopy as a third-party transfer. AFAIK, they don't want you to transact with anyone but yourself.

This is the probably the answer to your question.

Does wise consider Dukascopy Bank as Broker if someone will move money to it from his wise personal account?

Regardless of the reaction of Dukascopy, do not forget about possible tax consequences for the US company (e.g. not all the companies are tax-transparent).

TBMK, if you have a current account with Dukascopy (bank), you can receive (and send) 3rd party transfers. But the limits can be low (it's on the case-by-case basis, depends on your evaluation) and to raise the limits is not an easy task. Probably, if you have only a brokerage account (honestly, I do not know whether such a possibility even exists), you haven't access to 3rd party transfers.

For any even a little bit non-standard transaction the behaviour of Wise is IMO unpredictable. It includes this case.

If you think it makes sense, you can like it; if opposite, please, tell me, why I am wrong...

I asked them this question but they avoided answering it


If someone tried moving money from Wise personal account to Dukascopy personal account under same name it will helpful to tell us if there was problems

Yes it is going to be a problem if you send from a US bank account. Dukas can be very annoying once the monkeys at the compliance department decide to block your transfers and not reply to your emails.

As long as it is a US bank the chances are high. Even USD transfers are painful with Dukas. I've been using them for a long time now and I'd suggest another EMI.
