I am a customer of Saxo Go in Singapore. Their Customer Service is handled out of India.
Their customer service is appalling, slow, and in most cases does not resolve my issue. I would close my account but don’t want to undertake all the paperwork and verification required to open a new account in Singapore.
You can’t call or talk to anyone; you have to wait for a bot and then a CS assistant. If you have an urgent query, it can take time to get it answered
- You have to post your query twice
- Outside of Singapore stock trading hours, it can take time to get an answer
- I asked to email a senior person and was told that my query would be passed to the supervisor
- My account was frozen for ten days (for not filling in some forms). I asked to talk to someone. and NO ONE called me back, and I have a USD 1m + account and trade frequently
- I was told twice that someone senior would call me, and no one ever did
- If you are online with a CS person and the query is too hard, they let it time out, and you have to contact them again
- If you are trading online on your laptop, you have to receive an SMS to log on, which is reasonable, but then on your first trade you have to receive another SMS and enter the trade again, which can take over a minute and does not make sense. I gave feedback online that this was an added step, that did not make sense and that I was losing money in some cases due to this delay, and I was told that this was a system-wide rollout and they would not give me any contact person to give feedback to, and then I was cut off.
Really awful customer service. I would use someone like Charles Schwab or Interactive Brokers, where you can actually talk to someone, and people take ownership of issues rather than cutting you off or ignoring you.

Dear P S.,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I appreciate how important timely, effective support is when you’re trading, and I’d like to clarify how to reach us quickly and why some safeguards are in place.
Our Client Service is available 24 hours a day, five days a week via hotline and live chat. For urgent matters, calling the hotline is the fastest way to get through to an associate. Live chat begins with a virtual assistant and upon request, routes you to a live service associate. For non‑urgent queries, clients can also submit a secure ticket to write to us directly from the platform, which allows us to track and follow up within a single case: https://www.help.saxo/hc/en-sg/articles/360001255683-How-do-I-request-support
We operate a global service model to provide coverage across time zones, including outside local market hours. Response times can vary during peak market periods, but cases are monitored and escalated to the appropriate associates within the case itself so updates remain in one place. As standard email is not end‑to‑end encrypted, we communicate via the platform’s secure, authenticated messaging channel, which use encryption and strict access controls to protect client data. This helps us safeguard your information and comply with regulatory and data‑protection requirements. While we don’t route queries to personal email addresses, supervisors review cases where needed and arrange follow‑ups as appropriate.
Regulations require firms to maintain up‑to‑date client information and documentation, and as a licensed financial institution we are obliged to perform these checks. When required details are outstanding, certain functions may be temporarily restricted; once the information is updated, normal access can resume. During an information‑update exercise, clients can continue to manage existing positions and make withdrawals. The only controls applied are on adding new funds to the account and initiating new trades.
On security, protecting client accounts is our top priority. In line with regulatory expectations to strengthen platform safeguards, we require multi‑factor authentication at login and on the first trade of each session. We appreciate your feedback and are working continuously to refine the experience to reduce friction while maintaining strong protection.
As we cannot identify clients or discuss account‑related information on this channel, please contact us directly so we can assist with any outstanding issues. We appreciate the opportunity to put this right.
Best Regards,
Julie, Client Service

I would like to compliment Jaya for her excellent service and professionalism. After a disappointing experience with the online chat service last week, I was very impressed by how patiently and sincerely Jaya assisted me with my Saxo account.
She took the time to understand my concerns, sincerely apologized for my previous experience, and did her best to resolve my issue and reassure me. Her professionalism and genuine care are greatly appreciated.
I hope Saxo will recognize and reward staff like Jaya for their outstanding service. She is truly an asset to the team.

Not fit for expats/non doms/cross-border. Avoid this broker if you fit these categories.
It has taken me almost four months to get my funds back and close my account. Saxo only started to respond after I filed a complaint with Singapore's consumer regulator FIDReC. Complaints to Saxo are ignored.
If you have any problems with their close-to-abusive KYC/CDD, and stupid funding rules, then you may want to write directly to both FIDReC and the Monetary Authority of Singapore to report breaches of fair dealing rules. Hope this is useful advice.

Happy with mr Ahbas assistance
I was served by Ahbas on a matter of order placement. He was very aware of the urgency of the matter. While I could not wait on the chat room for the response. He tried to reach me on the phone and subsequently email. He even followed up on later days to make sure that my enquiry was resolved. I am happy to receive such great customer service and assistance. Thanks Ahbas.

Since we decided to transfer the shares and funds to another broker, the process has been very difficult.
We asked the bank to transfer our portfolio in early June, and at the time of this writing, i.e., July 20, 2026, one share is still missing.
We wrote to them on many occasions, but they always hide behind excuses.

Dear Emmanuel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We recognise how important a smooth, timely portfolio transfer is to clients, and we are acting on your feedback to strengthen collaboration with external brokers to expedite the process. In general, securities transfers are manual and can be time-consuming because they rely on timely responses and coordination from external parties — including the receiving broker and, where relevant, registrars — and each step can proceed only once the required confirmations are received.
We can confirm that the securities transfer for the request in question is fully complete. Thank you for your patience during the process.
If there’s anything you’d like us to check or if you need any further assistance, please let us know — we’re here to help: https://www.help.saxo/hc/en-sg/articles/360001255683-How-do-I-request-support

A real nightmare having an account with Saxo Bank
I've had an account with Saxo Bank in Singapore for at least 12 years. My experience during this time has been entirely positive. Trading stocks is inexpensive and seamless. I'm not a trader, but rather a regular small investor with minimal portfolio activity for the past 45 years. However, in recent months, my positive experiences have turned into a nightmare. Saxo is demanding that I provide detailed information about the origin of my assets, otherwise my account will be blocked, which they have already done once, resulting in financial losses for me. Before becoming a Saxo client, my investments were held with several banks and asset managers in Europe and Singapore. When I sold securities, the proceeds were transferred to Saxo. Stocks were also transferred, depending on which was the most cost-effective option. So far, so good for many years. But now they are asking in detail about the origin of the transfers. "12 years ago, you made a security transfer of USD x,xxx,..." Saxo is requesting proof of where the money came from and how it grew to this amount over the years. How am I supposed to know that after so many years? "Please take a moment to update your information to ensure that you maintain uninterrupted access to your account." It's not about a moment, but rather 20-30 hours that I, an elderly, visually impaired man, have been desperately trying to comply with Saxo Bank's half-baked demands.
I acquired my wealth over 45 long working years through savings, inheritances, and above all, interest and capital gains. Saxo is now demanding precise information about the deceased, the will, etc. My father died more than 30 years ago, and I no longer have any documents related to him. I have since moved to another continent and destroyed this superfluous paperwork beforehand.
I must advise you against this bank, because the department that sends out these threatening letters probably doesn't even read my replies. Then comes their AI-generated response, a standard reply that refers you to their help articles. Besides this, there's a department that offers help with other problems, often staffed by friendly women. But there seems to be no communication between the departments. Perhaps they're even located in different countries. Overall, the service is very slow, answers rarely come sooner than a week, and it's not at all customer-focused. At 81 years old, I'm reluctant to switch to another bank. Never in the past 60 years have I been treated so poorly by a bank.
28.7.2026 Since I wrote this review 2 Weeks have passed. At least someone at Saxo read my review, and the service has improved significantly. Instead of AI-generated responses, a member of the service team contacted me. A few of the nonsensical demands have been dropped. Today, the video verification of my identity with my passport finally took place, along with holding a bank statement next to my head. Technically, it was a bit complicated with Microsoft technology. Not as easy as with WhatsApp. All's well that ends well, I thought, after this process had been dragging on for a few weeks. So I was all the more shocked when, on the same day, I received another threatening email from an obviously different department (or their AI), stating that they would close my account if I didn't submit documents, including my father's will, who died more than 30 years ago. My father's inheritance is insignificant compared to my current wealth, which has grown primarily through compound interest.
This whole affair demonstrates that communication between departments at Saxo isn't working. Perhaps there's too much AI and not enough people?
