Our products can be traded either on the Swiss Exchange or over the counter.

Exchange trading: When buying and selling products via SIX Swiss Exchange, investors place a corresponding order via their bank or the online broker with which they maintain a securities account. BNP Paribas acts as market maker and provides continuously tradable bid and ask prices (buying and selling prices). In the case of a market order (order to execute a transaction at the current best possible price), order execution is always guaranteed under normal market conditions, even if there has been no turnover in the relevant product on the stock exchange for some time.

Off-exchange trading: For clients of Swissquote and PostFinance, BNP Paribas offers a comprehensive range of leveraged products for off-exchange trading via Swiss DOTS. With off-exchange trading, the exchange is bypassed. Investors thus trade directly with the issuer or the market maker. The fees for off-exchange trading are therefore usually lower than those for trading via the exchange.

Information on the trading venue and trading hours for each product are available on the respective product detail pages on our website.
