Fantastic customer service experience

Fantastic customer service experience (by Eirik in Digital Sales) who over the course of several week provided timely and high value added support to answer all my question and helped me to commit to Saxo as a key broking platform partner. Eirik was extremely competent and responsive. By far my best customer service experience with a broking platform. Highly recommended!

I thought that the information I was given was completely accurate. However, I am very disappointed with the length of time it is taking to set up the listed option on the platform which may well mean I will not buy the options as the price is now moving against me. Therefore it may well turn that the whole exercise was futile.

Hi Mark

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience.

I’m sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding the time taken to list the option on the platform, particularly given the price movement you mentioned. We fully appreciate that timing is critical when you are trying to execute an options strategy.

Having reviewed your case, our records show that your product request was received on 16th and the instrument was added on 17th, which is within our standard 24‑hour processing time for this type of request. This doesn’t change the impact the market move has had for you, but I hope it clarifies that the request was processed as quickly as our procedures allow.

If any part of this timeline is incorrect, or if there were other issues around communication or expectations that we could have handled better, I’d really like to understand more so we can improve. Please feel free to contact me directly on 0207 151 2033 or via email at stuh@saxomarkets.com so we can review the details together.

Kind regards,
Stuart

Worse trading platform ever- DONT USE

Saxotrader executed a stop loss buy order above the high of the day When I queried it I was told it would take 8 weeks to investigate and porvide an answer. It is absolutely unacceptable for a query in a moving market to take that long. it should be a matter of minutes

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your feedback and for raising this.

There may have been a misunderstanding here. The CS representative treated your query as a formal complaint and passed it to our complaints team, who do have up to 8 weeks to complete their review and respond in full.

However, you’re absolutely right that we can still explain what happened with your order in the meantime. Our internal data shows the high of the day, which is also the level at which your stop was triggered and executed. By design, once the stop price is reached, a stop‑loss order triggers and becomes a market order, which is why it was executed in that way.

I’ve sent you an email going through your specific trade details, including when the stop price was reached and how the order was executed, with a step‑by‑step breakdown.

Kind Regards
Stuart

Saxo VIP client

As a Saxo VIP client, having a dedicated Relationship Manager means that when I have a question about the system I can talk to someone who can help me quickly. My relationship manager, Jeff, is quick to respond and make requests to enable my needs. When I requested to trade some obscure stocks in an international market, he had them added to the system within a day. He also helped me understand how to trade options with Saxo on their SaxoTrader platform. They have also been responsive to requests about developing new tax reporting related tools. The options for algo trading are extensive and available in more markets than their key competitors which is one of the reasons Saxo is my go-to platform.

7 Hours Onboarding Ordeal

Review Title: A 7-Hour Onboarding Ordeal: Tech Glitches, Poor UX, and a Rigid System
The Experience:
I attempted to move a US portfolio of 88 stocks to Saxo, but the onboarding process was an exercise in frustration. Despite spending over seven hours on manual entry, the system’s technical inadequacies made the transfer impossible.
Key Failures for Potential Users to Note:
• The "Whack-a-Mole" Search Box: The stock selection box is nearly unusable. Typing a name gives you a micro-second to select before the list scrolls wildly or goes blank. I had to restart searches for 80% of my 88 stocks.
• The "ETFs Only" Initial Bug: Initially, the transfer box would only show ETFs and Funds. It took multiple emails for "Stocks" to magically appear as an option—suggesting backend fixes are reactive rather than proactive.
• Meaningless Data Validation: The system forces an "End of Day" price check that is fundamentally flawed for long-term investors. For stocks bought in multiple tranches over years (dips and spikes), there is no "Multi-Purchase" option. You are forced to fabricate a single "average" entry, which the system then rejects if the arbitrary price doesn't hit a specific daily range.
• Small Entry Windows & No Drafts: The UI is cramped, the scrolling speed is poorly calibrated, and there is zero confirmation that your progress is being saved.
• The "3-Stock Stand-off": After manually entering 87 stocks, I was told 3 (ET, SRUUF, and MPLX) were not accepted. Instead of allowing me to simply delete those 3 and proceed with the other 84, the Saxo AI informed me I would have to restart the entire 88-stock entry from scratch.
Verdict:
Requiring a client to manually type in a large portfolio rather than using industry-standard electronic transfer protocols is archaic. I have cancelled my application and requested a refund of my £100 deposit. I am moving to somewhere like Interactive Brokers (IBKR), who may offer the automated, professional service a serious investor expects.

Hi John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating the transfer process was for you — spending that amount of time trying to complete an onboarding task is clearly not the experience we aim to provide.

We do support portfolio transfers regularly and have hundreds of clients successfully transferring positions into Saxo each week, so the issues you describe are certainly not typical. That said, from what you’ve outlined it sounds like something may have gone wrong during the process and I’d really like the opportunity to look into this personally and help resolve it for you.

If you’re open to it, please feel free to contact me directly and I’ll be happy to assist with the transfer or review what happened, my number is 0207 151 2033, email stuh@saxomarkets.com

If you still have the portfolio details, I’m confident we can find a smoother way to complete the transfer for you.

Thanks again for the feedback — it’s genuinely helpful and I’d welcome the chance to turn this experience around for you.

Best regards,
Stuart
