Advanced API IntegrationThe broker provides robust OpenAPI technology, allowing partners to create bespoke, fully integrated user experiences and seamless front-to-back operations.
Considerations	Geographical RestrictionsExplicitly does not accept clients from the United States and the Philippines. Offshore OnboardingGlobal clients are onboarded through the St. Lucia entity, which may not suit partners requiring strict tier-1 regulatory environments for all referrals. High Leverage RisksOffers leverage up to 1:1000, which requires careful risk management for referred clients.	Proprietary Platform FocusThe broker relies heavily on its proprietary SaxoTrader and SaxoInvestor platforms, which may require a learning curve for clients accustomed to standard third-party software. Institutional Target AudienceThe extensive product range and sophisticated tools are primarily tailored toward advanced traders and institutional clients, potentially limiting conversion rates among novice retail traders. Stringent Onboarding RequirementsAs a highly regulated bank, Saxo enforces strict KYC and compliance protocols, which may extend the time required to fully onboard and activate referred clients.
