THE GLOBAL NETWORK HELPING TO PUSH BOUNDARIES

DIFFERENTIATION THROUGH TECHNICAL INNOVATION

With a worldwide presence, which includes offices in 26 countries around the globe covering the world’s major financial centers, the Saxo Bank team of technology experts are vital for helping the company stay ahead in an intensely competitive global market.

Saxo Bank is always looking ahead to the next innovation or technical development that will push the boundaries and give its clients the edge in the market. When it comes to its vendors, it expects the same ambition for high performance that is part of its culture. That’s why Saxo Bank chose to work with GTT.

Saxo Bank is an industry front-runner for IT innovation that continually pushes the boundaries of its technology. Few banks offer more than one or two assets on a single trading platform. Saxo Bank’s team of over 400 developers built and maintain its own powerful multi-asset trading platform for FX, CFDs, ETFs, stocks, futures, options and other derivatives that set it apart from the rest of the market.

As part of its ongoing commitment to industry innovation, Saxo Bank launched its own social trading platform called tradingfloor.com. The social trading platform enables users to view and analyse in real-time their trading history and performance, while integrating with the Saxo Bank trading platform, allowing users to place trades at any time.

For example, when trading in foreign currency, exchange rates can change up to 10 times per second. When speed is essential to your business, the performance of your network becomes critical.
