IG vs Saxo
A side-by-side evidence check. Missing values stay missing; a minimum spread is not a typical trading cost.

A client-assets endorsement is not a named bank account, a deposit guarantee, or proof of the account you will open. Historical DFSA record F001014 shows withdrawal on 2 July 2017. It must not be presented as a current licence. Current product terms and contracting entity need separate verification.

Both profiles have captured values for named source entity. These values need matching account scope before any price comparison.
At least one side still lacks: published platforms, AED account currency, EUR/USD spread, commission, client-money location. Request these details from both firms for the same UAE-resident account and instrument. Missing values cannot establish a winner.
