Saxo Bank Launches SaxoWebTrader 2.0 and SaxoMobileTrader to Provide Mobile Access to Capital Markets


LONDON and COPENHAGEN, June 17 /PRNewswire/ --     Saxo Bank, the online investment bank has introduced a mobility-enhancing
version of its multi-asset class trading platform SaxoTrader. SaxoWebTrader
2.0, and SaxoMobileTrader 2.0, will allow clients to trade anywhere anytime
with instant access to liquidity available via Saxo Bank.

Increasing investor sophistication combined with highly mobile lifestyles
has meant that individual investors and traders are constantly accessing
their portfolios on the go. This is especially true in the case of FX trading
- a truly global market that trades around the clock. With market volatility
at its peak and speed offering the key to profiting from market movements,
MobileTrader and WebTrader come at a crucial time for both Saxo Bank's retail
clients and white-label partners' clients.

"We are pleased to be launching SaxoWebTrader and SaxoMobileTrader 2.0 at
a time when volumes and volatility demand that clients are constantly engaged
in managing and trading their portfolios." says Stephan Martinussen, head of
Global Solutions at Saxo Bank. "As an extension of SaxoTrader, WebTrader and
MobileTrader have evolved with the sophistication of our client base and
satisfy the growing demand for real-time information and trading mobility."

SaxoWebTrader and SaxoMobileTrader 2.0 allow clients to access the
interface from any application with browsing capabilities from a laptop to a
Blackberry TM or mobile phone. Responding to the customer demand for
mobility, usability and performance, Saxo Bank has incorporated the best
features of SaxoTrader - which needs to be downloaded before use - in an
online environment. This means that clients can access real time account
information, streaming prices and the tools to trade and manage their
positions at anytime from any location.

With extensive market analysis, 160 tradable FX crosses and more than
5000 CFDs SaxoWebTrader 2.0 and MobileTrader 2.0 maintain the functionality
and security of the SaxoTrader 2 platform. Using a single account login,
clients are also able to switch between interfaces to suit their lifestyle
and can close positions on SaxoWebTrader that were initially opened on
SaxoTrader, or vice versa. With clients already signed, Saxo Bank plans to
introduce equities, Futures and other products onto SaxoWebTrader and
SaxoMobileTrader later on in 2008.

The SaxoWebTrader is now translated into German, French, Italian, Greek,
Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Polish, Dutch and Spanish.
