Stock Transfers & Corporate Actions

How to request a stock transfer through the platform

To transfer a stock to or from Saxo Capital Markets, you as the IB or the client can do so on the platform or Webconnect. 

The Transfer Request can be found under Account > Corporate Actions > Securities Transfer as shown below:

The Client chooses to transfer to or from Saxo Capital Markets. The IB will have a list of their clients’ accounts to choose from.

Enter in the details of the brokers where the stock is to come from/transferred to.

Find the ticker of the stock to be transferred and enter in the amount and price. Hit the + button to add more securities to the transfer.

Verify the details are correct and then send. Print the request sign and send to Saxo Capital Markets.

Please note: Many brokers require the client to write to them directly to instruct them to release the stock. In order to save time it will be a good idea to ask the client to do this as soon as the stock transfer form is complete.
