I dont like the Min SGD 18 dollar charge per trade. If you are doing 9000 SGD per trade, its more worth it, if its lower, Stan chart is cheaper.

Is it necessary to take the CAR exam for standard chartered account? What's the minimum requirement to pass?

Yes its necessary, mandated by Singapore government. First question will ask whether you have done 6 trades in the past 2 years, just declare yes, they wont check.

Hi,

Are there any custody fees or corporate action/dividend fees for SC trading account?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Opened one at DBS bank branch at Marina Bay Financial Centre.

You have to open securities trading account with it.

I opened one after GE 13. I realised how bad gerrymandering was and how screwed I will be if s**t hits the fan.

My vote piled up uselessly in an urban seat with big majority while rural seats with small majority are the ones that matter.

My advice is opening a Singaporean account is not worth it if less than SGD 30k. Interest rate is low so you have to invest in stock market (e.g. REIT or ETF).

You need 1 or 2 times cash collateral to SELL your shares due to how CDP is setup.

hi bro,if above 30k how about interest?

around 0.1%

i see bro,any low risk investment can reach 4-5% yearly?

you should aim higher, like 6-7%,
and dont target for one year only, earn that for 40 years

can?mind to share

KWSP, capital guaranteed, consistent 6++% dividend for past 5 years.

Bro, I think he wants 6-7% returns in SGD. Not MYR

yes you are right bro,i am talking sgd,actually got 4-5% yearly i am ok liao ..any recommend me?   i read somewhere cimb singapore offer 1.9% for 24 month FD, and may i know malaysia can buy singapore saving bonds?

Hello..next week I planned going down to Sg to have open a trading and savings acc with sc and ocbc.

currently i don hav working permit / non PR. so far anyone had open an account lately in Sg.

Some branch doesnt allow. Some say approval is case to case basis.

any advise?

Hi,...call the branches first before you go down. Confirm first,...I am of the opinion that it should not be a problem,...

Ok done with opening.next is to decide what to buy
