Saxo Bank Broker Account Opening Process

Opening an account with Saxo Bank is a straightforward process that can be completed online. It typically involves the following steps:

• Online Application: Fill out the registration form on the Saxo Bank website.
• Approval Process: Upload necessary documents for identity verification, such as a national ID or passport, and proof of residency (e.g., bank statement).
• Funding: After approval, fund your account via bank transfer to activate it. Saxo does not require a minimum deposit for the Classic account, but higher deposits are needed for Platinum and VIP accounts.
