Over the past couple of years, Saxo has transformed itself from a trading-first platform into one of Europe's most compelling for long-term investors. In 2024 and 2025 it rolled out a new pricing. Custody fees have been removed across core European countries. Trading commissions are now among the lowest available, sometimes even beating Interactive Brokers.

It also launched the SaxoInvestor interface which gives passive ETF investors a cleaner, simpler experience than IBKR's platform. Tax wrappers, and tax reporting are rolling out across markets like France, Italy, or Belgium. In Switzerland cost-free ETF savings plans are now available. Most importantly - hence our updated review - in 2025, Swiss bank J. Safra Sarasin Group acquired a 71% controlling stake, purchasing it from the previous Chinese majority owner. For European investors, this matters.

SAXO is very attractive to investors in their core markets - Italy, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, or Singapore. It is a great diversification option for High Net Worth Investors in other countries too like UAE or Saudi Arabia, as HNW Investors typically pay private bank a higher custody fee, that SAXO charges in some non-core markets.
