I had a problem with generating report

I had a problem with generating a type of account report. Jakub from the Client Services team was knowledgeable and immediately identified the issue. I rates my experience as 4* than 5* only because the correspondences with other Client Services took almost 20 days yet not resolving the issue. I need to call the customer service line to resolve.

The Transaction cost are very high with limited possible products

The Transaction cost are very high compared to other platforms like Interactive Brokers. Also the product aviability is limited. For example there are no Options for Vertex (VTNR) but on Interactive Brokers they are. Also Stock markets are limited, so the London Alternative stock market is not in Saxo

Dear Viliam Ciz,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the feedback.

We are sorry to hear that you have found our fees high. At Saxo we strive to provide fair and transparent service and pricing for all, and believe that our rates are very reasonably priced in relation to our product, offering, and competitors. Moreover, when comparing to other offerings, we would have to look at particular asset classes, as fees do vary depending on which instrument you wish to trade.
Your feedback is key for us, so we would really appreciate if you reach out to our support to elaborate on the fees, and perhaps we will be able to find a solution, which is better fitted for your investment goals. For example, we have a point system, Saxo Rewards, which allows you to upgrade your account tier based on your trading activity.

We were quite surprised to see the note regarding option on VTNR:xnas as it is one of the instruments that we offer. There may, however, be a situation where a given instrument is indeed not offered by us just yet, but in that case you can always request for it to be added. While we can't guarantee that we will instantly add it, we will most certainly review the request and will consider it in our future instrument additions.

We thank you for your feedback and hope to hear from you soon again.
For the meantime, we wish you a great weekend.

Kind regards,
Valery

Saxo: Always a disappointment

Every interaction with Saxo is a disappointment. Most messages receive a cut and paste response, ignoring the substance of the matter. Agents never seem to take responsibility but just shuffle things off to someone else. Dreadful. Avoid.
The only way I seem to get them to take notice is by writing reviews here!!

Dear Jon,

It pains me to read your review, as what you mention is so far from how your client experience should be. I have personally looked into your interactions, and am very disappointed to see the course of events. Let me assure you that this is far below the standard that is set at Saxo Bank.

I am taking this and all your feedback on board, to ensure that this improves in the future, and am following up with the team responsible to seek clarification and a swift resolution to your outstanding problem. In the meantime I have asked a colleague from your local office to reach out to you directly, to hear more and assist you by phone.

Please accept my apologies again, and I hope that you will have an improved experience going forwards.

Kind Regards,
Elena, Client Service

Sad to watch what's happened to them

SAXO fees have always been higher than their competitors, but I remember in 2014 this fact used to be compensated by an outstanding support team.

Now the staff they employ is a joke (to make it clear: a very bad one). I stay in touch with some of SAXO former employees that work for other companies now and we all can't believe what's happened.

My best guess is that SAXO must have made a shift and now only cares about their enterprise clients. That's understandable of course, though it would have been fair to make it clear.

It's also quite funny to watch their response to negative reviews on TrustPilot or Google appearing after 10-20 minutes. At the same time, it's not unusual to wait a week or two for a response made via internal ticketing system.

Dear SAXO team, I would really like to come back to you one day. Please bring the good, old SAXO back. Until this happens I'll have no other choice but discouraging friends who consider opening an account with you.

Dear Alojzy,

Thank you for leaving a detailed review for us, with feedback for where to improve. We are always striving to provide the best service we can, and I'm sorry to hear that this hasn't been the case in your experience. I can assure you that we value all our clients, and are working hard on pushing response times down as one of a number of initiatives for improvement.

We would love to welcome you back anytime, so that we may demonstrate our commitment to delivering top-level service again, that you were glad to experience previously. If myself or my colleagues can answer any concerns you may have, you are welcome to contact your local team.

Until then, I wish you a fantastic weekend.

Kind Regards,
Elena

Worst service I have ever experienced

Worst service I have ever experienced.
I am a former employee, I cannot believe that Saxo ended up being like that. I am trying for months to get an answer through customer service but in vain.
It's a pity, really a pity...

Edit 13/4/2022
I would not expect better. Eventhough here at trust pilot they mentioned they will check the issue, a week has passed and nothing. Let alone the chat or inbox service of Saxobank. Unable to answer for months...why is that I still do not understand.

Hi Markos,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties in contacting our Client Services team. We always ensure that we have sufficient numbers of staff monitoring the phones, chats, and in-platform requests, so I will be investigating why you have not been able to reach a member of the team.

Kind regards,
Jonnie

Reliable broker

I‘ve had only good experiences with Saxo. The transfer from Strateo to Saxo went through without any problems, they offer a wide range of investment products, and transferring money in and out works fine. I only wish that account fees would be a bit more transparent (getting notifications for example).
I would reccomend Saxo.

Dear M.Z.,

Thank-you for leaving a review and personal recommendation.

It's fantastic to hear that you're enjoying the client experience, and offering with us at Saxo, and that you have had a seamless transition across. I also appreciate the feedback in terms of the account fees. We aim to provide complete transparency about the cost of trading with Saxo, and if you haven't already seen it, you can find an overview of these fees here: http://spr.ly/62049KMTj5

However, I have noted your suggestion of notifications, and will pass it on. We are always taking all feedback on board to see how we can improve the experience even further.

Thank-you once again, and wishing you a great month of trading.

Best Regards,
Elena
