It would be no difference than Wise/Instarem direct wire though. The benefit of going through SGD in a Singapore Bank named after you is to have a proper trail after all, less headache when IBKR rejects it.

FYI this transaction is done successfully last year. Right now they are sort of conducts due diligence reviews to transaction with different account name. I guess i will just be showing the proof of my account in instarem with my name and same address with my IBKR account will do and the proof of transaction that i made.

Thanks for your input! Will provide those documents for them.
Yea, I do have CIMB SG after that transaction with InstaRem. Will use CIMB SG next time though! Thanks man!

Random midnight snapshot for those curious on how to bring money back from IBKR->CIMBSG->CIMBMY

TransferWise:


CIMB SG -> MY self account remit



The CIMB SG->CIMB MY transfer rate is pretty good! For MYR->SGD the usual path is still better.

You can use live chat.

Just log into your account. They will direct you to FAQ first (prevent people asking dumb questions).
If your answer is not found, use the live chat. It is one of the options on the page.
You can only ask general questions. They take around 5-10 mins to reply.

If you want to ask specific questions regarding your account, you need to launch a ticket.

Just drop them a support ticket or use chat. Skype toll free is workable but make sure your internet is stable.

Alternatively use hotlink prepaid for IDD. It's only RM0.12/min.

If you don't mind sharing, what's so important that you need to call?
Hmm. Maybe you can ask them to call you

Did you open your trading account via TradeStation Global, or Interactive Brokers?
I opened my trading account via TradeStation Global. Each time when I use customer support in IBKR web portal, IBKR Customer Executive will refuse to entertain me, and requests me to directly contact TradeStation Global.
Maybe, most of you all who opened my trading account via TradeStation Global are lucky to get assistance from Interactive Brokers.

I opened with TSG then moved to IBKR.

Yes, if you are under TSG, you are supposed to only communicate with your advisor i.e. TSG usually via email. It is not because IBKR is rude but because IBKR doesn't handle your account (i.e. wasting their time since you are exactly not their customer) and certain questions are answered differently e.g. the fee structure is different from IBKR's. TSG is quite responsive from my experience.

If you are under pure IBKR, then you can use the live chat (I used this only when I migrated to pure IBKR).

Alright, it makes sense, since you are currently under IBKR.
Even though some of us are still under TradeStation Global, we still deposit money to IBKR's Banking Accounts. Our share transactions are handled by IBKR.
As an introducing Broker to IBKR, TradeStation Global has no control over how IBKR processes our share transactions.  I have no problem that the fee structure for TSG is understandably higher, because the fee is split between TSG and IBKR.
Sometimes, TSG is unable to answer some of our questions, and may have to forward the questions to IBKR. That is why I initially thought to directly contact IBKR, to speed up the response time.
Anyway, I just admit that it is my misconception. Nowadays, I will directly contact TSG, as per the proper procedure, in TSG Support Ticket website (https://www.tradestation-international.com/...ubmit-a-ticket/).
