Setting up an investment account usually takes around 10 minutes, and the whole process can be done remotely. 

However, please note that Saxo Bank is a licensed Danish bank and your money will enter the Danish banking system. Therefore, the account opening process can sometimes take up to several days—especially if you wish to invest larger amounts—and may require you to send documents confirming the source of your capital. 

Security and full compliance with regulatory requirements are very important to Saxo Bank. This compliance allows us to provide access to 71,000 investment products from around the world so that you can geographically diversify your capital through the Danish bank.
