Saxo Bank now part of European financial group

The acquisition positions the group to expand its offering.

J. Safra Sarasin Group, a Swiss finance conglomerate, has acquired a 70% stake in Saxo Bank previously held by Geely Financials Denmark A/S.

The acquisition positions Saxo Bank to expand its offering and accelerate its mission to deliver platforms and services whilst continuing to pioneer new standards for client experience in online investments and trading.

With the support of J. Safra Sarasin, Saxo will also strengthen its trusted long-term BaaS partnerships with banks, corporates, family offices, asset managers, and independent wealth managers within its institutional client segment.

The bank will continue to operate as a standalone entity, with its founder and chief executive officer, Kim Fournais, continuing his role and retaining approximately 28% ownership.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
