well, they will only ask for it on that page u shown. if not required then dont need.

can broker accept deposit , if my first name become last name
and my last name become first name.

the broker set up my name terbalik, eg. ali baba become baba ali.

Can, my name (Chinese name) in broker transfer instruction is <first name> <last/family name> but the bank account I transfer from is <last/family name> <first name>.

oh same case as me , is your broker IB ?

i open broker with another broker ( not IB ) but my name terbalik. ARRGGG !!!!@!!!!

I am interested to open an account and fund it. From the screenshot only have the routing number and swift code, how would they know it from me and not other customer?

There's more not shown in the screenshot (understandably since there's private info), the section below it has:
i. Bank Account Number - this is a virtual account number to transfer to unique for each of their customer
ii. Payment Reference/For Further Credit to - brokerage account code + your name for you to fill in your bank transfer transaction reference box

Hi all,
Just created new IB account through TSG, and currently I'm stuck at this step.

Q1: Lets say I'd like to fund USD 1k into the account using Instarem, which options should I go for? (Direct to IB, dont have Sg account)

Q2: "Please select the currency in which you would like to make a deposit"
Either SGD or EUR or HKD is fine right as long as it is not deposited in USD ?

1. Bank wire .... or any other cheap method.
You understand what "transfer securities" mean right?

2. any is fine.

Any is fine. Just use xe.com and check the currency in foreign currency in terms of USD. Make sure to send extra usd50-100 for insurance.

hi sifu, I just realized my account is registered under "au" portal.
Is that normal?

https://www.interactivebrokers.com.au

Yes normal. IB will send you to the nearest server from your IP address.

There is another broker , Tiger securities, also using IB.
wonder how is their software.
how is TSG software compared to IB ?
most people use the workstation software of the mobile ?

you can read through the user experience here
Tiger Broker Singapore - New firm?

from little info available - IBKR is an investor. they are not using IB platform

Oh btw is the USD25 deposit fee apply to TSG too?

This fee is charged by the recipient banks, not TSG or IBKR.

TSG & IBKR both have the same bank acc, so I guess yes. However, I've read somewhere that some ppl can transfer without this fee, so I guess it depends on your bank's relationship with IBKR's bank.

bank A to bank B (ibkr) - no fees

bank A to bank C to bank B - pay intermediary bank C fees

Can believe I read every post within 2 days! Can't wait till my account get ready.

Just to clarify for bigpay, need go through sg bank first only to ibkr? Or can straight bigpay to ibkr?
