Jermaine Wong, Finance Manager, on her career with Saxo and why she believes we have been built to last
Mahesh Sethuraman, Singapore CEO
Multi-asset access for all clients
His connection to Saxo began in June 2013, when on his second day in a new role, his boss suggested for them to choose Saxo as their execution broker. Reflecting on his first impression of Saxo, Mahesh recalls that the FX offering was “world class”, and everything “just worked”. That first experience showed him what we believe many clients have come to value over the years – Saxo’s consistency and reliability to meet the different needs of our clients. Over time, Mahesh’s role shifted from client to employee, but his view of the platform remained firmly grounded in lived experience.
In a market that has become more crowded with new entrants and low‑cost competitors, Mahesh believes Saxo’s long presence in Singapore is not just a historical milestone, but proof of trust earned over time. Trust is not claimed but earned through consistently delivering on promises and expectations. Saxo has operated here since 2006, serving clients across multiple market cycles, product evolutions, and global events. That track record is what gives our clients the confidence that we are built for the long haul.
As Saxo celebrates 20 years in Singapore, Mahesh’s experience reflects what the milestone stands for: a firm that has stayed committed to functionality, reliability, and meeting people where they are whether they are new investors, seasoned traders, or institutional partners.
Saxo is built to last
Jermaine Wong joined Saxo in 2010 as a contract staff. Today, she plays a key role as a Finance Manager. In this video, Jermaine shares her experience working in Saxo for over a decade. She reflects on the things she's learned and why she believes in Saxo's vision.
Her journey highlights something we value deeply at Saxo: resilience, curiosity, and a steady commitment to keep moving forward as the world changes.
Our 20-year story in Singapore isn’t just about being one of the first online brokerages to set up here. It’s also about the people who shaped this place day by day — the ones who stayed through transitions and helped us build a company grounded in trust and integrity.
As we mark this milestone, we want to recognise the individuals who made these two decades possible. Thank you for being part of our journey — and here’s to the next chapter together.
