Saxo Bank’s leadership in trading innovation recognised by Global Banking and Finance Review Awards
Saxo Bank, the online multi-asset trading and investment specialist, has been named Best White Label Solution Provider and Multi-Asset Liquidity Provider alongside the previously announced award for Best Mobile Trading Platform in the Global Banking and Finance Review Awards 2014.

White label partnerships have become the cornerstone of Saxo Bank’s strategy with 10 banks adopting the service in 2013 alone, bringing the total number of partnerships to 115 across 50 countries.
