How to open an account

1. Submit your on-line application

Complete the online application form and submit it to us. It only takes 5 minutes and allows us to speed up your account request. When you are ready to submit the form we will present you with a PDF file that you will need to print and sign.

2. Send us supportive documentation

Once you have printed and signed the PDF form, return it to us either by fax or e-mail together with supportive documentation verifying your identity and address. You still have to send the application form with your original signature by normal mail, but submitting it to us electronically or by fax will speed up your application. You can see what documentation we require here.

3. Fund your account and start trading

When we have verified your application form and supportive documentation, your account is ready for funding. This will normally happen within 24 hours. Saxo Bank's platforms accommodate online payment via credit and debit card. For detailed funding options see here. The minimum funding level for a Saxo account is $10,000.
