maybe only for old customers or those with assets above a certain value.

I tried but it is greyed out for me, and when i try to buy fractional in LSE i get an error

you are trying to withdraw forex into a different country account - likely USD to MY or SG bank

when handling some forex (particularly USD) banks will have a correspondent US bank to fill up. ask your bank.


note these transfers will have fees

then you have to ask transferwise

everything you need is in post #1. ppl can help with questions, but if you can't be bothered to even put in the effort, you may not be ready for trading.

if you are holding / transferring usd 100k portfolio, don't worry abt the usd10 as it is waived. also depending on your trade style do check whether u are on tiered or fixed commission. For most, tiered is cheaper.

assuming you are on ibkr and not whitelabels

no.. CIMB SG has very good rates for SGD > MYR provided it is to your own linked CIMB MY account.

So
- use IB to convert back to SGD at spot rate first,
- do SG fund withdrawal to ur CIMB SG
- do SGD > MYR transfer using CIMB Clicks SG from your CIMB SG to your CIMB MY

have not compared but CIMB SG / Fintech should be better than your original TT USD back to Malaysia advice

you can change commission type under account / profile mgmt iirc.

note.. CIMB Sg > CIMB My rates are only good during working hours on both sides .. so don't transfer on weekends / SG+MY public holidays

no charged as normal share.. only LSE has promo where no stamp duty (from lse)

just TSG is IBKR whitelabel to avoid activity fee at a cost of higher commissions

just change to a margin account.All unsettled cash is considered part of your funds and you can trade without it being in your account yet.

interest rates are low, and if you use it as per your cash account (i.e. don't borrow) you will be fine

not sure if there is a tiger thread here but i believe hardware zone and telegram has one..

some ppl are a bit skeptical because of the china / tencent background.. but IBKR is an investor and they have one of the lowest fees for SG stocks currently. Licensed by MAS so for some ppl good enough.

i personally have an account but did not fund - cause it gives me realtime US, HK and SG data that i can use to trade with ibkr

yes. only gave email , phone number and password iirc

everyone gets a different bank account number - that's how IBKR tracks your funds.

the free data is likely due to SGX own promo (till nov 2020). No i have ibkr and some articles online makes me think twice abt giving them my personal data
