SAXO BANK

SAXO BANK
Excellent broker
He has a simple problem
Which is hidden fees such as stock custodian
So holding the stock is annoying

The second point is the commission

You have a lot of brokers, they give lower trade commition and a better margin
Other than that, an excellent broker and very excellent customer service

Dear Kuwait DJI.

First of all, thank you for the positive words regarding Saxo. These are highly appreciated and we are pleased that clients like yourself see good value at Saxo.

As a member of the client service team, I am also proud that you have been pleased with the service my team has been able to provide you with.

We aim to be transparent with our fee structure, which is why you can always find the fees/costs on our website, perhaps you can find a few more details here that are useful in your trading decisions: http://spr.ly/62047zxkMd

We wish you a very pleasant day.

Dear Majeed,

We are sorry to see that you have rated your experience with Saxo with 1 star, but we appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to elaborate on the issues you have mentioned.

It is as per design that in the event of a margin call, all margin positions are closed. As to not being able to write a covered call on Hive, this is applicable only to options with risk rating 6, where it is not possible to short a risk rated 6 option under any circumstances. To elaborate, option risk depends on factors like market capitalization, liquidity, volatility and many other factors.
It is understandable that it can be frustrating, provided that you are holding the underlying, and we will make sure to pass on your feedback.

If you have any further feedback or questions on the above, you are more than welcome to reach our customer support team, who would be happy to assist.

Wish you a great day,
Valery.

Stay away from this broker

Stay away from this broker. Withdrawal request since 20 April (71 days) not received. Another withdrawal request on 20 June (11 days) is not received. The customer service is very poor, they are not even pretending to help matters, they will just tell you to contact your bank.

UPDATE: I received my withdrawals and closed my account with them. Experience with them was far from good. Never again.

Excellent service

Not long ago I asked Saxobank where my portefolio
is registred. I am reciding in Egypt. Anton answered my question very quickly and with words that were very easy to understand. Could not have been better,
Excellent service.
Kind regards

They do not care about you

All the people in this company do not care if you are a new customer.
They have ridiculous deposit amounts,
Asking me to deposit 20000 $ minimum for an MT4 account.
After several days, one guy named Vikas Pandey who works in sales contacted me and never replied to my query, instead he just vanished.

Dear Shadow Rage,

I'm very upset to hear that you feel let down by our teams, and that you've had a poor experience as a result, especially when you are newly joining us. Although we have let you down on this occasion, I assure you it is not because we don't care, our clients are the heart of what we strive towards.

I have been in contact with Vikas, and he mentioned that he has been in touch this morning with a response to the rest of your queries, I hope this is of help. Do not hesitate to reach out to the team again should you have further queries.

Please accept my apologies once again for your experience so far, and look forward to being able to provide you with a more positive experience as you continue on your trading journey with us.

Kind Regards,
Elena, Client Service
