Easy to use Investment platform

The platform is easy to use and presents good value for the performance offered. I also use other Platforms and can say that although a little cheaper than Saxo, they do not offer the same level of detail.

Gold standard for customer service

I had an account with Saxo that fell dormant after many years of not being used. I didn't realise there was a balance on the account until the Saxo team reminded me. After calling the customer service team to withdraw the remainkng funds my case was handled by Bettina. From the initial point of contact to the request being fully executed, Bettina was supremely helpful and polite, effectively dealing with the request. She kept me informed the whole way and helped me complete the necessary identification forms to complete the withdrawal request. In my experience she sets the gold standard for customer service.

SAXO acts in bad faith to rip off clients. AJ Bell acts with integrity and provides better, more cost efficient service

I was repulsed by the extremely high charges that Saxo UK charged me to acquire my only position on their platform. I was charged for putting the mid-cap Canadian company on their access list, I was charged an exorbitant forex fee, dealing fee and the execution was bad. Having moved my funds to AJ Bell years ago, it has been a joy. They have acted always with integrity and they are transparent in their fees. In comparison, Saxo acts in bad faith to knowingly rip off their clients. Go with AJ Bell - 100% better.

Hi Brendan

We took the opportunity to address your concerns when you initially shared your review almost three years ago.

It's important to clarify that the fee you mentioned regarding adding instruments to the platform was never charged. The applicable charges were thoroughly explained to you by our colleague Jeff in January 2023. Since then, we have updated our pricing to incorporate valuable client feedback.

We firmly disagree with the assertion that Saxo "acts in bad faith." As a FCA-regulated broker, we are committed to applying our fees transparently and consistently across our 1 million global clients. We are continuously investing in making our platform and pricing more competitive.

While we understand you've opted for another provider, we believe it's crucial for our readers to know that we handled your concerns fairly and have made significant improvements to our services.

Best regards,
Stuart

Aditya fixed missing bank information

My bank (Barclay's Bank) didn't send the complete information to Saxo that is needed to make withdrawals. Aditya was extremely helpful to first find out what I needed to do to make withdrawals work, what information was missing, and how to send it to Saxo. Thanks for the help.

Yes. They are very quick to lock your account.

Same as other bad reviews: Saxo Bank will lock your account in a heartbeat.

They send emails from no-reply email addresses, unclear messages on the platform such as "please send relevant documentation".

What exactly is "relevant documentation"?

If you send documentation that doesn't fit what Saxo Bank wants (which is never clear) they send you the exact same message again: "send relevant documentation". No explanation about what they want specifically.

It is a big waste of your time. They fire off bot-like messages and you have to compose actual replies all of which takes time. Of course, they have all the power so what can you do other than give them a bad review here.

Update:
Saxo has replied to my review asking me to 'add' my ID number. It is indicative of their approach that they ask a client to post their ID number on a public website.

And the reply says "I’m here to help, and I encourage you to reach out directly so we can address your concerns swiftly." As if I haven't already spent weeks trying to get the matter resolved by speaking directly to their client support.

On the same date as this review, I sent them a notice of legal action so, if they cared to do a little bit of homework, they will know who I am anyway.

They are very quick to reply to bad reviews with a cut & paste piece of text but very slow to reply to direct complaints about their service. Perhaps the person who is busy monitoring reviews on Trustpilot would be better employed responding to complaints send directly to Saxo Bank.

Hi John

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that navigating KYC processes and communications can be frustrating, and we're committed to improving this experience.

It's worth noting that when clients leave feedback on Trustpilot, they can include their account ID as a reference, which helps us locate accounts. However, many leave only a first name or no name at all, making any search efforts extremely difficult . While we can request further information through the Trustpilot portal, without a response or a direct call to the number we've provided in messages (0207 151 2033), our ability to assist is limited.

I’m here to help, and I encourage you to reach out directly so we can address your concerns swiftly.

Best regards

I forgot my password. I clicked on the "forgot password" link, I've not received the email to reset my password (I checked my spam).

I looked online and there is no contact email for Saxo customer services.

Additionally, please note that emails regarding account activity were sent to the registered email address during this period to keep you informed.

Functional Platform Undermined by Poor Customer Service

Saxo’s trading platform is decent and fairly priced, offering acceptable access to global markets and a reasonable range of products for a retail investor platform. However, key areas — particularly fixed income — feel a bit underdeveloped and poorly supported.

Where Saxo truly falls short is in customer service. The support system appears intentionally designed to block access to real assistance. The AI chatbot is unable to handle anything beyond basic queries, and attempts to contact a human agent or raise a support ticket lead to an endless, frustrating loop back to the bot. Some situations become genuinely Kafkaesque. Even when a live agent is reached, they often deflect responsibility or refer users back to the same ineffective process.

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about our platform. We're glad to hear you find value in the trading options we offer, but I'm sorry to learn that certain areas, like fixed income, didn't fully meet your expectations.

I also want to address the frustrations you've had with our customer service. What you described is definitely not the experience we aim for, and your feedback will help us make improvements.

I'll be giving you a call today to chat more about what's happened and see how we can make things right for you. If you're available at a specific time, please let me know.

Thank you again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to improve.
