Saxo Reviews
Saxo has been a solid broker for my forex trading. The app is user-friendly, and the demo account helped me get familiar with the platform before I signed up. The spreads are competitive, and the withdrawal time is quick. Highly recommend!
8/15/2023The minimum deposit is reasonable. The customer service is responsive, making it easy to resolve any issues.
5/10/2023While Saxo's platform is robust, I found the login process a bit cumbersome at times. The bonus offers are decent, but I wish they had more rebates for frequent traders. Overall, it's a good broker, just some room for improvement.
12/20/2022Saxo's trading features are top-notch, especially for forex. I was impressed by the leverage options available. The app is convenient for on-the-go trading, though I had a slight delay in my withdrawal time. Overall, a solid experience.
6/30/2023I've been using Saxo for a while now, and I can't complain. Their support team is helpful. I also appreciate the educational resources they provide for new traders. Definitely a broker worth considering!
