Case Study: Saxo Bank boosts China transaction revenue by millions per day with CDNetworks' Web Performance Suite

Saxo Bank Boosts Transaction Revenue by Millions of Dollars per Day in China by Teaming with CDNetworks

Saxo Bank, a Copenhagen‑based online investment bank and creator of the SaxoTrader trading platform, planned to expand into China but faced severe latency and connectivity problems between its Denmark datacentre and mainland China. Slow transaction times and broken trades threatened customer experience and revenue, so the bank needed a local, scalable solution to deliver fast, reliable trading across China’s complex internet landscape.

Saxo partnered with CDNetworks and deployed its Web Performance Suite and in‑China infrastructure (25 local PoPs), using cloud‑based dynamic acceleration to deliver SaxoTrader from within China. The rollout launched in under two weeks, eliminated latency‑induced broken trades—recovering millions of dollars per day in China‑based transactions—dramatically improved customer experience, and enabled Saxo to confidently expand and white‑label the platform into other emerging markets.
