No Trust in Saxo

They required actually all of my financial data. Including tax declaration. I tried to figure out, what could be done about it by opening a chat, but the lady just told me, that I cannot get in touch with an analyst, who sets the requirements. After reading other reviews, I got the impression that Saxo is not trustworthy. After all, I had much money there. Eventually I closed the acount.

DON'T USE SAXO, THEY'VE LOST MY MONEY AND DON'T CARE

I was interested in opening a Trader account, utilising te PEA rules in France. Things started to go wrong immediately. A week or more after submitting my application I had heard nothing. I contacted Saxo asking if there was a problem, they suggested that I'd told them I had no income except for trading, and would not be interested. I'm pretty sure I hadn't clicked that box, but assured them that I had an income. So, I had to prove to them I had trading experience and funds to transfer. Eventually they graciously agreed to open an account. Then my problems began. I transferred some funds from Wise (belgian account) - but Wise stalled, and didn't transfer the funds, odd I thought. I then transferred funds from Bunq (from a French account) and waited for the funds to appear. They never arrived. I tried again, this too never arrived. I tried their antiquated chat service, and found that they didn't like challenger banks, and won't accept funds from them (?!?!). I then tried to transfer funds from HSBC in GBP vis CitiBank (a Big Boy bank), but my funds seemingly have disappeared even though Citi have confirmed receipt and I have the UETR number. Save yourself a world of pain and don't deal with these people, you'll save yourself a heap of time, effort and pain.

No Updates, No Support, No Idea What’s Happening

I recently attempted an ISA transfer with Saxo and it has been an utterly frustrating experience. From the start, I received no meaningful updates on the progress of my transfer. They repeatedly told me they were waiting for information from my existing provider, but my provider had already sent everything over weeks ago and were actually waiting for Saxo to provide their bank details for the transfer!

Trying to get answers was even more frustrating. Their in-app chat will cut you off if they don’t want to deal with you, phone lines are perpetually busy with recorded messages, and emails go unanswered. The app itself is not intuitive at all, which only adds to the stress when it’s your money at stake.

Overall, Saxo’s lack of communication, poor app usability, and inability to provide support make this a very stressful and unreliable platform. I would not recommend it.

Hi Gail
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the experience you’ve had. I understand you’ve now cancelled your ISA transfer; while I respect your decision, I want to ensure we address what went wrong.

What we’re doing:
• Reviewing the transfer trail with our Operations team and your existing provider to confirm exactly where the process stalled, including the exchange of bank details.

• Auditing our communications (email, chat and phone) to understand the disconnections and delays you encountered.

For context, most ISA transfers complete within 3–5 weeks, depending on the provider we are reaching out too and the type of transfer. Regardless, our updates should have been clearer and more proactive—my apologies.

If you’re open to it, one question that would help our review:
• Which number did you dial when calling us, and roughly when?

How to reach us:
• Our main line is 020 7151 2100. Lines can be busy at peak times given the daily call volumes, but you should still be able to get through.

• You can also contact me directly on 020 7151 2033, or email [email protected]. If you’d prefer, reply with a suitable time and I’ll call you.

If you decide to revisit an ISA transfer in future, I will personally oversee it end to end and provide regular updates to avoid a repeat of this experience.

Thank you again for raising this, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards
Stuart

I recently opened an account with them

I recently opened an account with them. The opening process in Switzerland took about 30 minutes only, everything reviewed and all validations completed in this extremely short time, immediately a fully functioning account. I had an issue that the base currency was set to USD somehow while opening the account, I guess because of browser and OS system language that I used was English. I called the support hotline and they could still solve the problem for me, required me to log in and walk thru some easy steps. I am amazed of such good and smooth service here. I tried previously to open an account at Swissquote, nothing worked, I lost patience after 10 days and almost zero customer support, that account is still not functioning and I am incredible pi*sed there. Coming to Saxo was like a relief and definitely the best choice and even many of the Saxo fees are up to 4 times lower than at Swissquote.

Hi Paul

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced.

On the KYC side, we’re required by regulation to verify client information and, at times, to place temporary restrictions while checks are completed. We are constantly looking to improve and update the process to provide clients with a better experience and we thank you for your patience.

Regarding your UK government gilt coupon, an unexpected negative accrual was posted to your account. This has been reversed. We’re conducting a full review to understand exactly why this occurred and will update you as soon as the analysis is complete.

Kind Regards

Warning!

Warning!
I tried to get some money out of my account.
It started with a small amount, but the money never came.
I called them several times and every time there was a different reason.
Then you know they are lying to you.
I have transferred my cash into stocks and in the process of switching to another broker.
I fear that Saxo is in financial trouble.
My advise: remove your cash!
