Yes lower fees. More choices. Mbb got selective exchanges only. But if you very infrequent trade, maybe easier and don't have to worry about additional estate planning.

I see. If we use Maybank global trade then dont need to go through the hassle to transfer money to sg and transfer back right?

Convert at in house exchange rate as mentioned by dwRK (more expensive by about 3%)
Higher commision charged per transaction. Say (USD10 vs USD3)
- I am not sure how much maybank charges.
X% of dividend fees to be paid to maybank
Possible quarterly platform charges.

If you feel like paying them all the above charges, by all means continue to use them. A little hassle to save lots of money in the long run.
