Saxo Bank Account Type

Saxo Bank offers several types of accounts for investors, including cash accounts and margin accounts:

• Cash Account: In a cash account, you must pay the full amount for any securities you purchase. This account type does not allow you to borrow funds from the brokerage.

• Margin Account: A margin account allows you to borrow funds from Saxo Bank to purchase securities. You can buy securities "on margin," which means you only need to pay a portion of the purchase price upfront while borrowing the rest. This account type offers greater purchasing power but also increases the risk of larger losses.

• Brokerage Account: This type of account allows you to trade a variety of financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. Saxo Bank provides access to over 23,500 stocks from 26 countries with competitive commissions starting from USD 1.
