SaxoMobileTrader Named Best Mobile Trading Platform by Global Banking and Finance Awards

Hellerup, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire) -

Saxo Bank is pleased to announce that SaxoMobileTrader
[http://www.saxobank.com/trading-platforms/saxomobiletrader ], its
multi-product mobile trading platform tailored specifically to
sophisticated retail clients, has been named Europe's best mobile
trading platform by Global Banking and Finance Review Magazine [http:
//www.globalbankingandfinance.com/global-banking-finance-review-award
s-2014 ].

The trend towards the democratisation of trading and ease of
access to information has spurred an evolution in retail trading, and
Saxo Bank's use of state of the art technology has been key to its
success in developing its mobile offering. The use of mobile devices
is becoming more widespread, particularly as retail investors become
more sophisticated and demand 24/7 access to view their positions and
open orders. More than 20 percent of trades executed on Saxo Bank's
trading platform, Saxotrader, are done via its mobile app. Whether
through its retail trading platform, TradingFloor.com, or white label
partnerships, Saxo Bank expects to see this upward trajectory
continue in the years to come.

With access to over 30,000 listed and OTC derivatives and
securities with one margin account, Saxo Bank's SaxoMobileTrader
provides its customers with market-moving news, interactive data
charts and live prices, all within an easy to use mobile platform
offering the same speed of execution they have come to expect with
the desktop. It offers access to one of the widest product ranges
available to retail clients anywhere.

Alan Plaugmann, Global Head of Products & Platforms for Saxo Bank,
commented:

"We are delighted that Global Banking and Finance Review Magazine
has recognised SaxoMobileTrader as a leading player in providing
on-the-go trading capabilities to retail clients. 20% of trades
executed on Saxo's trading platforms are now done so through mobile
devices, and this trend will undoubtedly continue.

"Technology is at the core of Saxo Bank's operations and has
allowed the bank to maintain its strong competitive advantage.
Traders and investors increasingly demand usability, mobility,
performance and service when executing trades and Saxo Bank meets
these demands through its innovative trading tools and features. The
firm has successfully created a robust and highly effective trading
environment which includes an increased number of products and order
types, platform features and functionalities. Saxo Bank's stable
client base is testament to the improvements it continually makes to
its platforms and core proposition, often in response to clients
ideas and requests."
