Saxo provides flexible account structures and types for client management.
International securities are held under a nominee custody arrangement and all accounts are pre-funded and enjoy the benefit of contractual settlement.
Our Introducing Broker offering is our premium solution for partners with introduced end-clients, meaning the end-client is contracted with Saxo. We support our partners on their growth path and offer outsourced functionality across the full value chain with smooth integration across the entire capital markets infrastructure.
Our partners gain access to leading multi-asset execution, combined with efficient post-trade processes—all from a single account. This includes an integrated back-office and regulatory support.
Saxo’s success lies in the success of our partners. We share a common interest in supporting your business and assisting you in achieving your business potential. We strongly believe in the importance of your clients’ financial prosperity and have constructed a business model where our interests are aligned with yours, and your clients’.

We offer a fully digitalised end-to-end operational outsourcing service encompassing:
Introducing broker partners can select to co-brand all client-facing touch points, including trading platforms, and onboarding flows. End-clients will be presented with both brands throughout the journey. The partner can customise URL, logo and the contact details. By using Saxo’s templates, the partner ensures that all necessary documents are collected from end-clients in a clean, uniform manner.
We produce standard accounting EOD files with comprehensive data on all activities for the previous 24 trading hours.
All end-clients of the introducing broker will be included in Saxo’s daily transaction reporting. This will save costs for the partner as Saxo is already providing reports in accordance with regulatory standards across all asset classes, taking care of any process risks and the daily costs of maintenance.
Satisfy ever-evolving regulatory reporting requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Individual end-client reports are available at any time within the trading platforms. These reports are designed to provide them with the information they require for accounting and tax purposes. Reports can be easily generated for predefined or custom date ranges and delivered in either Excel or PDF formats.
