Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand used: Bitcoin Suisse, also styled Bitcoin Suisse International. The name belongs to Bitcoin Suisse AG of Zug, Switzerland, which has no connection to this operation.
- Legal entity: none. No company name, registration number or registered office appeared anywhere on the site, and no company of this name exists on the UK register.
- Registered: nowhere that could be established. The only address published was 30 Lothian Rd, Edinburgh EH1 2EP, United Kingdom, a large multi-tenant office building.
- Website: bicoinsuisses.com. The domain stopped resolving and is no longer registered.
- Only licence: none. No authority was ever named and no licence number was ever published.
- Offers: forex, metals, commodity CFDs and cryptocurrency, sold as deposit packages from $1,000 to $100,000, with leverage advertised up to 1:5000 and a $100 sign-up bonus.
- Not accepted: no restricted-country list was published, which is itself unusual for an operation claiming to be regulated.
- Age claim: the site described itself as one of the largest forex and cryptocurrency brands with millions of clients, while its own counters for years on the market and active clients never rose above zero.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
The finding rests on identity, not on opinion. Four things line up, and each was checked against a primary source.
- It wore another company's name. Bitcoin Suisse AG is a real crypto financial firm at Theilerstrasse 1a, 6300 Zug, Switzerland, trading at bitcoinsuisse.com since 2016. The site under review called itself Bitcoin Suisse, sat on a misspelled version of that web address, and gave a UK address the Swiss firm has never used. The genuine company publishes warnings that criminals impersonate it.
- There was no company behind it. The UK company register returns no results for any company whose name contains Bitcoin Suisse. The site claimed a UK base and disclosed no legal entity at all, which a real regulated firm cannot do.
- The regulation claim was empty. The homepage sold itself as Trusted and Regulated with regulatory licenses across 6 jurisdictions. Its own terms and conditions run to roughly 24,000 characters and name no regulator supervising it, no licence number and no company. The only regulators mentioned appear in a copied glossary.
- The site was a re-skinned kit. The page copy still carried the words 'WHAT MAKES GLUT MARKET DIFFERENT', a different brand entirely, and the support address was printed as 'Support@Bitcoin Suisse.com', which is a brand name pasted into an email field and cannot function. Alongside that sat one testimonial repeated five times under a single name claiming $75,000 a month, a rolling ticker announcing deposits by strangers, and leverage of 1:5000.
Taken together these are the standard mechanics of an impersonation scam: a trusted name, no company, no licence, and deposit tiers designed to pull in money. We assess the risk of fraud here as high.
Two honest limits. No regulator has published a warning naming this domain, and the Swiss warning list carries no entry for it, so no authority has formally adjudicated this operation. And while a German law firm published a public advisory about this exact domain aimed at people who could not get their money back, we could not independently verify individual losses with amounts and dates. The verdict therefore rests on the documented deception, which is complete on its own, rather than on the size of the complaint record.
The domain no longer resolves and has been released, so the operation has ended. That does not undo the conduct: money taken before it vanished has not come back, and operators of this kind normally reappear under a new name.
Note on operating history: the 3.6-year track record rests on domain registration alone. No company incorporation date could be established, so this is an upper bound rather than a confirmed age.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1Bitcoin Suisse AG is a real Swiss firm at Theilerstrasse 1a, 6300 Zug, trading at bitcoinsuisse.com, a web address registered in June 2016. The site under review used that brand from a misspelled address and published a UK address instead, so the name it traded under was not its own.
Hard proofBitcoin Suisse AG official websiteE2The site's own homepage branded as Bitcoin Suisse, gave the address 30 Lothian Rd, Edinburgh EH1 2EP, sold deposit tiers from $1,000 to $100,000 with leverage to 1:5000, offered a $100 bonus, repeated a single testimonial five times claiming $75,000 a month, and still carried the heading 'WHAT MAKES GLUT MARKET DIFFERENT', a different brand left in the template.
E3A search of the UK company register for any company whose name contains Bitcoin Suisse returns no results, despite the site presenting itself as a UK business with an Edinburgh address.
E4The site's terms and conditions run to roughly 24,000 characters and name no regulator supervising the business, no licence number, no company name and no registered office. The only regulators appearing are in a copied definitions glossary, and the support address is printed as Support@Bitcoin Suisse.com.
E5The About page called the operation Bitcoin Suisse International, claimed to be one of the largest forex and cryptocurrency brands with millions of clients and offices all over the world, and named no company, no regulator and no licence.
E6Bitcoin Suisse AG publicly warns that criminals copy its name and build fake pages imitating its website, and states it will never ask anyone to wire money or cryptocurrency or promise investment deals.
E7An independent trust check of the web address scores it 1 out of 100 and flags it as very likely unsafe, noting hidden ownership, high-risk financial content and that negative reviews were detected.
ModerateScamAdviser check of the domainE8Security certificates for the domain begin in February 2023 and the last was issued in February 2025. This sets the operating window, and it is the only dating available because the domain has since been released.
E9The Swiss regulator's warning list holds no entry for this operation. The only near match returned is an unrelated firm. No warning naming this brand or web address was found on the Swiss, UK, international or US lists checked, so no authority has formally adjudicated it.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
We tested the innocent explanations before reaching this conclusion.
- Could it have been a regional arm of the real Bitcoin Suisse group? No. Bitcoin Suisse AG is a Zug-based crypto financial intermediary and lists its services and entities on its own site. It does not run a UK retail forex business selling 1:5000 leverage from an Edinburgh address, and a genuine group entity would name its parent and its company number. This one named neither.
- Could the licence simply have been too new to appear on a register? Not applicable. Register lag only matters when a licence number is claimed. No authority and no number were ever published, so there was nothing to look up.
- Could this be a different firm that happens to share the name? This is the strongest counter-argument, and it fails on the details. A genuinely independent firm of the same name would still need a legal entity and a licence, and would not sit on a misspelling of the established firm's web address while describing itself as Bitcoin Suisse International.
- Could the negative write-ups be competitor smears? They are not load-bearing here. The verdict comes from the site's own pages and from public registers, not from reviews.
In fairness to the operation, we found no regulator warning naming it, no enforcement action and no court record. That is why the reasoning is anchored in documents rather than in any authority's finding.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict is falsifiable. Any of the following would force us to revisit it.
- Bitcoin Suisse AG confirming that bicoinsuisses.com was an authorised site of its group.
- A company registration, in the United Kingdom or anywhere else, for the entity that operated the site, together with a licence number that resolves on the issuing regulator's register to that same entity and that domain.
- Evidence that the Edinburgh address hosted a real, staffed office belonging to the operator.
- Credible, checkable accounts from clients who deposited and were paid out in full.
Conversely, a regulator warning naming this domain, or a court or enforcement record, would raise our confidence further and add an authority's own finding to what is currently our assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Bitcoin Suisse a scam?
Two different things carry that name, so the answer depends on which you mean. The site at bicoinsuisses.com was an impersonation operation and we rate it a confirmed scam. Bitcoin Suisse AG of Zug, Switzerland, at bitcoinsuisse.com, is a separate, genuine company and is not the subject of this report.
Is Bitcoin Suisse a fraud?
The website bicoinsuisses.com shows the hallmarks of a fraudulent operation, and we assess the risk of fraud there as high. It used another firm's name, disclosed no company and no licence, and took deposits. No regulator has published a warning naming it and no court has ruled on it, so that assessment is ours rather than an official finding. The genuine Bitcoin Suisse AG is a different company and no evidence of fraud was found against it.
What is the difference between bicoinsuisses.com and bitcoinsuisse.com?
One letter and one extra letter. The genuine Swiss firm trades at bitcoinsuisse.com and has done since 2016. The scam site used bicoinsuisses.com, dropping the t from bitcoin and adding an s to suisse. That near-miss spelling is the whole trick.
Was this site regulated?
No. It advertised itself as Trusted and Regulated and claimed regulatory licenses across 6 jurisdictions, but it never named a single authority or licence number. Its own terms and conditions, which run to about 24,000 characters, name no regulator supervising it.
Can I still withdraw my money?
Not from the site. The domain no longer resolves and is no longer registered, so there is nothing to log in to. Treat any remaining balance as a loss and report it as fraud to your police force and to your bank or the exchange you paid from.
Who owned or operated the website?
That was never disclosed and could not be established. No company name, registration number or registered office appeared anywhere on the site, and the UK register holds no company by this name despite the Edinburgh address it published.
How old was the operation?
The earliest verifiable trace of the website is February 2023, from its first security certificate and its first archived page. It was still taking sign-ups into early 2025. No company behind it could be dated, because no company was ever identified.
Was it a clone of a real company?
Yes. It used the brand of Bitcoin Suisse AG, a real crypto financial firm based at Theilerstrasse 1a in Zug, Switzerland, and called itself Bitcoin Suisse International. The genuine firm has no connection to it and publicly warns that criminals impersonate its name and pages.
What were the clearest warning signs?
Several were visible without any research. The page copy still contained a different brand's name, GLUT MARKET, left over from the template it was built from. The support address was printed as Support@Bitcoin Suisse.com, which contains a space and cannot work. One testimonial was repeated five times under the same name claiming $75,000 a month. Leverage was advertised at 1:5000.
Someone has offered to recover my funds. Should I pay them?
No. Upfront-fee recovery offers are a standard follow-up scam that targets people who have already lost money. Any demand for tax, insurance, verification or an unlocking fee before your funds are released is part of the fraud, not a route out of it.
Is my money safe with the real Bitcoin Suisse AG?
This report makes no finding about Bitcoin Suisse AG and did not examine it. It is a long-established Swiss crypto financial intermediary and is the party whose name was misused here. If you are considering it, assess it on its own merits and its own disclosures.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Find the licence number on the broker's own site, then look it up on the regulator's public register and confirm three things match: the exact company name, the exact web address you are using, and the registered address. If the site names no regulator, discloses no company, or its address differs from the register, stop there.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat the name with care and keep the two companies apart.
- Send no money to this site or to anyone invoking it. The domain is dead, so any live page, app or account manager still using the name is running a further scam.
- If you deposited, act as a fraud victim. Report it to your national police or fraud reporting line, and to your bank or the exchange you sent crypto from. Keep every transaction record, wallet address and chat log.
- Refuse any demand for a further payment to release funds. Requests for tax, insurance, verification or unlocking fees are the second stage of the same scam. So are unsolicited offers to recover your money for an upfront fee.
- Do not contact the real Bitcoin Suisse AG expecting recovery. It is the company whose name was misused and holds none of these funds, though it may wish to know its brand was abused.
- Before depositing anywhere, check the regulator's own register for the exact company name and the exact web address, not just the brand.
