Hey tiramisu83,

I am thinking of opening a TD ameritrade SG account too. i have a few questions for you if you can help me answer:

1. Is there a minimum deposit required to open an account?

2. is there a minimum deposit that needs to be maintained at the end of the billing month in my account?

3. is there a minimum deposit required in the account before i am allowed to buy/sell stocks?

4. is there any monthly fee?


thanks

My TDA SG account is finally approved and I want to transfer money from my Maybank account. Am I filling up the information correctly based on the images above?

"Account number" is taken from the Beneficiary


Under Additional Info, there isnt enough characters for me to put "further credit to...". Can someone give me some guidance???

Dear Guys,

update: so the transfer above worked. I transferred US 60.80 (RM 250) into my TDA SG account and all went in, no less. Apparently Wells Fargo seem to not have charged me the USD 25 dollar wire transfer fee. Maybe the amount was too little so there was no wire transfer fee? Has anyone experienced this?

I will continue to monitor and try transferring a larger sum.

I didnt get charged USD30 because it was my first transfer made. They give transfer fee rebate for first time deposits. Later one i deposited more money and the USD30 deduction took place. also Maybank charges RM 10 for the FTT.

TT charges from maybank is RM 10



Wells Fargo will charge you USD 30 for the incoming wire transfer fee, which is quite hefty, but at least the money appears within the same day or next day in your TD account. I used to use IBKR white label and do ACH transfer from my US account, and the waiting period is like 5 working days, damn long.

so TDA is added to the securities commission blacklist in Malaysia. i have some money in that account. am i screwed? does that mean i cannot bring back my money anymore?
