How to register a new account for withdrawals
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.
You have two ways to add a new account:
1. Fund from a bank account in your own name
The fastest and recommended way:
- Do a simple bank transfer to your Saxo account, from an account in your name.
- The transfer can be of any value, even a "micro-payment" of 5 euros.
- Here are instructions on how to fund your account: How do I fund my account?
Once your bank account passes our verification checks, the verified account details will appear in the External account drop-down menu.
|
Note Bank/wire transfer is the only method that automatically verifies your bank account for later use for withdrawals. This does not apply to card payments. Allow three working days for your account details to appear in the External account drop-down menu. |

The online withdrawal module is not available for Corporate Clients by default. To request it, please fill in the form SaxoGroup_Cash_Module_Form, return it to us through a case.
Otherwise, please use the following link to the Funds Transfer Request Form required for withdrawing funds: Transfer Request Form.

How long does it take to process an account withdrawal?
Withdrawals done over the platform will be processed the next business day (T+1) if requested before 14:00 CET and T+2 otherwise.
Value dates can vary for a number of reasons, for example:
- incorrect payment details provided (for example, mismatches between the IBAN and account number)
- full withdrawals may require fee calculations as well as closure and settlement of open positions
- unsettled transactions
- the correspondent banks’ handling time
