QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jan 6 2019, 05:07 PM) I don't think IB accept transfer from third party. O lying accept transfer from account in your own name. Something about AML. I've done a couple of transfers from MYR->SGD (IB account) via Instarem with accounts all under my own name with no issue. I've also done a few transfer from MYR->USD (TransferWise account) via Instarem then USD->EUR (IB account) via TW also with no issue . As long all accounts under your own name, you should have no issue except for a call from Instarem to confirm your transfer purpose. Well, if I were you, I would trust no one and just do a minimum amount transfer on your own to verify the optimal route like what I did. Cheers

You can try either CapTrader or ZacksTrade; they both use IB as backend. No monthly fees if you got some small sum of money in it.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jan 7 2019, 08:35 AM) Open overseas bank, use instarem and pay into overseas bank account. Pay IB using overseas bank account in that country local currency. Use IB own exchange to exchange to the currency you want since their currency exchange rate is way better than any fintech (cheaper) So easy to open overseas bank acct ????

Annual fees only applicable for unit trust/bonds/US stocks bought on FSMOne platform Hi bro ! Looking forward to Revolut as well, and you are the one that recommended FSMone to me. Many thanks again. I read that no annual fee for stocks though . Platform Fee is charged only on Unit Trusts, Bonds Cash /SRS holdings, CPF holdings are exempted. It is accrued daily and calculated based on the daily average market value of the total Assets Under Administration (AUA); the fee will be deducted on a quarterly basis.

Or CHF in Switzerland, and EUR on other EU exchanges.
