MIG Bank: Key Facts

Before you open an account, check the broker's licence in the official FCA Financial Services Register.

The table below summarises the core details we have on file. Figures marked with an asterisk, such as the maximum leverage, may depend on conditions set by the broker, so confirm them on the official website before trading.

MIG Bank Overview: Company Background and Regulation

A Swiss Broker Founded in 2003

MIG Bank is headquartered in Switzerland, with its listed address in Lausanne. The company was founded in 2003, which gives it a longer track record than many newer online brokers. Its registered office sits in a country known for strict financial supervision, although the details of its service range depend on the entity and account you choose.

The broker describes itself as an ECN/STD provider. In practice, this means traders may see different pricing models depending on the account and how orders are routed, so it is worth reading the terms before you fund an account.

Regulation and Safety Checks

MIG Bank is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). FINMA supervises banks, insurers and financial intermediaries in Switzerland, and its rules set out how client money and conduct should be handled. Regulation alone does not remove trading risk, but it does give you a regulator to contact if something goes wrong.

Before you deposit, search the company name on the FINMA register and confirm that the entity you plan to contract with is the one listed. Our database also links to the FCA register above, which is useful for comparing brokers, but the FINMA check is the one that matters for a Swiss-regulated firm.

Trading Conditions: Account Types, Spreads and Leverage

Standard and Mini Accounts

MIG Bank lists two account tiers in our database: a Standard account with a figure of 10000 and a Mini account with a figure of 2000. These numbers appear to relate to account size or entry levels, but the currency and whether they represent a minimum deposit are not confirmed in our data. Check the current account table on the official site before you choose a tier.

Accounts can be opened in EUR, USD, GBP or JPY. Choosing your base currency at the start can reduce conversion costs, especially if you plan to fund the account from a bank in the same currency.

Spreads and Trading Costs

Spreads on major currency pairs range from 2 to 4 pips, and the spread type is variable. A variable spread widens and narrows with market conditions, so it may be tighter during active sessions and wider around news releases or during low liquidity. Quotes are shown with 5 digits after the decimal point on most pairs.

Because the spread is only one part of the cost, compare the full picture before choosing a broker. Ask about commissions on specific instruments, overnight financing (swap) charges, currency conversion fees and inactivity charges. Our database does not list a full fee schedule for MIG Bank, so the official fee document is the best source.

Leverage

Maximum leverage is listed at 1:500, marked with an asterisk. High leverage lets a small deposit control a much larger position, which magnifies both gains and losses. Many traders use far less leverage than the maximum, and it is sensible to size positions so that a normal market move does not wipe out your account.

Trading Platforms

MIG Bank supports the platforms most retail traders know:

• MetaTrader 4 on desktop, iPhone and iPad, and Android
• MetaTrader 5 on desktop, iPhone and iPad, and Android

Both platforms support expert advisors, which lets you automate strategies with code. Copy trading is also available, so you can follow the trades of other accounts if that suits your approach. Test any automated system on a demo account before using real money.

Markets and Instruments

The range covers forex, cryptocurrencies, metals, commodities, oil, CFDs, indices and shares. Bitcoin-related forex pairs are also listed. Trading products such as CFDs and crypto-linked instruments carries higher risk, so check the contract specifications and margin requirements for each product.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Popular funding methods include credit cards, PayPal and wire transfer. Processing times and any charges for each method are not included in our database, so confirm them with the broker before you deposit. Wire transfers are common for larger amounts, but your own bank may add fees.

Customer Support and Languages

The website and support materials are available in 13 languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, German, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Greek, Korean and Portuguese. Test the support team before you fund the account by sending a pre-sales question and noting how quickly and clearly they reply.
