UK arm of Danish investment bank Saxo Bank, offering multi-asset trading across stocks, bonds, forex, and options.
I was generally happy with Saxo Markets UK until I experienced platform slowdowns during high-volatility market events. Twice I couldn't execute trades when I needed to most. They offered no compensation. For calm market conditions it's fine, but I can't trust it when it matters most.
Pros: Good in normal conditions, nice interface
Cons: Platform unreliable during market volatility
I've been using Saxo Markets UK for six months. It works for basic stock and ETF investing. The app is okay, execution is fine. Nothing has gone wrong but nothing has particularly impressed me either. Fees are middle of the road. If you're looking for something that just works, it's adequate.
Pros: Does the basics well
Cons: Nothing stands out, average in every way
