BDSwiss Mobile App

Many traders now want to trade while on the move. This is possible with the BDSwiss app which provides access to your account from your mobile device.

The app is straightforward to use. It provides both the ability to trade using all popular trade types and assets offered by the broker and you can also monitor your transaction history and account details.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone users.

Account Types

The BDSwiss minimum deposit requirement for a new account is just $100. This is particularly attractive to new traders who are looking to take their first steps with Binary Options.

It is however important to remember that while such a low deposit may be sufficient to get you trading on your account, in reality this amount is far short of allowing you to trade a balanced strategy. Typically if you intend to minimize your risk, it is advised that you invest a minimum of $250 and stick to the smallest allowable contract sizes.

Unlike some brokers who offer a number of different account types a single account level is provided by the broker.

Deposit Methods

You will find a good range of different deposit options offered by this broker. What is particularly nice is that the range of different deposit methods and the processing times are clearly laid out on the website.

Wire transfer is also available but takes from 2-7 days to complete.  Deposits are subject to a minimum deposit value of 100 Euros or equivalent.

This broker is not big on advertising first time bonuses. They do exist, with promotions offered to both new and existing traders.
