ICICI Securities Ltd is a subsidiary of ICICI Bank – the group acts as one of India’s paramount integrated financial services firms. Saxo’s decision to partner with ICICI helps the group achieve a broader market penetration than ever before, allowing for a wide range of trading functionality through its digital platform.
The partnership is important for both parties, as it will effectively allow Indian investors to utilize SaxoTraderGO, the group’s flagship Trading Platform . Saxo’s platform will be available for all four million of ICICI Securities’ clients on ICICIdirect.com, which acts as India’s leading investment portal.
The decision to expand its capabilities into India also reflects Saxo’s commitment to extend its trading suite to new locales, with the Asia-Pacific (APAC) ) region being one of the largest untapped markets for investors. By securing access to over four million traders, Saxo will also aim to solidify its presence in the region.

This partnership once again highlights our ongoing commitment to be a trading facilitator for banks and brokers around the world,” he added.
