At Saxo we take precautions to ensure your account is secure. For this reason we only allow withdrawals to accounts that have been verified to belong to you.
Previously used and verified accounts will appear in the "External account" drop down menu of your withdrawal module.
How to register a new account to use for withdrawals
You have two ways to add a new account:
1. Fund from a bank account in your own name
The fastest way is to do a simple bank transfer to your Saxo account, from a bank account in your name. The transfer can be of any value. (Funding instructions: How do I fund my account?)
Once your bank account passes our verification checks, you can then make withdrawals to this account. Verified account details will always appear in the drop down menu of your withdrawal module.
Please note that a payment via card will not qualify the account to be registered.
2. Create a case through the trading platform
- SaxoTraderGO: Click Account > Other > Contact support > Select option: Add new bank account number for withdrawals
- SaxoTraderPRO: Click Menu > Contact support > Select option: Add new bank account number for withdrawals
1. Fill the form providing:
Field | Comment |
Currency | |
BSB Code | BSB (Bank State Branch number) |
Beneficiary Account number | Account number you want funds paid into |
Beneficiary Bank BIC | Also known as SWIFT/BIC or just SWIFT - International Payments |
Beneficiary IBAN | Mandatory in case of international payments to countries that have adopted IBAN |
2. Attach a bank statement as proof of account ownership. The document should contain your name and account details, and should be clearly legible.
3. Attach a valid proof of identity, this could be your national ID or passport.
You can follow up on the ticket status from the same 'Contact support' module under 'My tickets'.
Once verified, the new account details will appear in the "External account" drop down menu. We aim to process your request for new account validation within 24h. Note, you only need to submit your request once per account.
