Saxo Bank has always focused on technology to remain at the forefront of the online trading industry. With thousands of clients around the world, Saxo Bank places particular emphasis on safeguarding client information and controlling, executing and managing real-time internal systems with the utmost security. A world-class team of IT professionals works round the clock to ensure that all Saxo Bank information and operating systems are completely secure.
Since the early 1990’s, Saxo Bank has facilitated trading in Forex and other assets, aggregating liquidity, providing access to global exchanges and offering an impressive range of products and platforms to private investors, partners, institutions, banks and brokerage firms.
Saxo Bank has been a fully regulated European bank since 2001, supporting a worldwide base of retail clients, corporations and financial institutions from its headquarters in Denmark and a network of regional offices. With its outstanding client service, aggressive pricing and development of superior trading platforms, Saxo Bank has quickly become a major presence in the world of online trading.
Meeting the needs of investors with leading online platforms
To satisfy the needs of every type of modern investor and financial trader, from newcomers to professionals, Saxo Bank has developed a suite of integrated online trading platforms, including the web-based SaxoWebTrader, the desktop powerhouse SaxoTrader and the SaxoMobileTrader for mobile phones.
In addition to offering access and online platforms to private clients, Saxo Bank has an institutional business focused on creating strong partnerships with financial institutions around the world. Saxo Bank customises and brands its trading platforms for Introducing Brokers and other White Label partners, such as banks, hedge funds and trading houses and provides a range of professional trading and settlement services.
Saxo Bank’s technology and dedication to personal relationship management have combined to give clients access to a world-class tailor-made investment consultancy. Through its Asset Management services, Saxo Bank provides internationally-focused clients with outstanding advice and personalised solutions usually reserved for a very small group of investors.
Saxo Bank derives its financial expertise from over one thousand multinational employees, dedicated to serving a client base in more than 200 countries. To provide the best client service, Saxo Bank’s headquarters in Copenhagen, with its large IT team, is supported by regional offices in London, Zurich, Singapore, Tokyo and Madrid, plus a representative office in Beijing.
Expanding Globally, Thinking Locally
One of the key ingredients in Saxo Bank’s growth strategy is international expansion and for the last several years the Bank has been steadily extending its physical presence overseas. In 2006, Saxo Bank London was opened in London’s financial district, and Saxo Capital Markets Pte. Ltd. was established in Singapore to provide regional trading expertise and services for the Asian market.
In February 2008 Saxo Bank marked a new milestone in its global expansion when Saxo Bank (Switzerland) SA, was established, following the acquisition of Synthesis Bank. The combination of Synthesis, one of Switzerland’s most recognised names in online banking, and Saxo Bank, a global leader in online investment, created a forceful mix for clients, shareholders and staff.
As the world’s second largest economy and the third largest Forex trading country, Japan was a natural choice for Saxo Bank’s next regional expansion. Opening in Tokyo in June 2008, Saxo Bank Japan K. K. serves the growing number of tech-savvy investors entering the Japanese market and, in close cooperation with Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore, supports an expanding White Label Partner business in Japan.
In May 2009, Saxo Bank received regulatory approval to establish a regional office in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the first Danish bank to create a presence in the Gulf Corporation Council region. Saxo Bank now brings state-of-the-art online trading of Forex, CFDs, Futures and other derivatives, as well as wealth management services to the Gulf region's significant investor base.
