Hi guys, just noticed they changed to using HSBC singapore, made a transfer about 1hr ago via my CIMB SG but funds still not showing in IBKR.

Normally how long does it take ya with the new HSBC? I remember last time it only took 5mins for the funds to show in IBKR

1. Refer to your "verbal verification" email. Mark down the US toll-free number.



2. Download Skype https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ (You can choose phone/Windows/Mac/Linux) I use Windows, crystal clear sound (perhaps it's night here)

3. Install Skype on PC/Mobile phone if you use app version

3. Register a Microsoft account, or sign in with one if you already have it.

4. Add Interactive Broker to your contact list "Add a phone number"



Make sure you take away all the dash any empty spaces when you add number. So for IBKR's case, the country code is +1 which is already given, you just type: 8666942757

No blanks and dashes remember.

5. Once contact added, you can call from Skype. Just click on the "call tab" and call IBKR from the drop-down menu.



Remember for US call, the format is different from what Gracie suggests in her blog. If your listen carefully, for US case:

1. Enter the digits of your account number. If account number is U1234567, type on the keypad 1234567 followed by the hash sign, #
2. Now comes to account type, your should press 4 (for introducing broker, as you are still under TSG)
3. Now wait, you will be contacted by a live agent. It should be fast, less than 1 minute or 2. (For my case)
4. Mention your ticket number, and tell them your intention/purpose, then proceed with verbal verification (For desktop users, don't forget to greet people and ask if they can listen to you in case mic/speakers stop working)

Keep environment silent too from beginning, mute your mobile phone/PC temporarily (the other device which you are not using to call via Skype) and pause videos/music on phone/PC. 

Gracie's case I think she called using HK's phone number, so more "keys" to press. US more straightforward, it seems.

Minimum of 1 USD is fixed pricing. Tiered pricing is 0.0035 USD per share, minimum 0.35 USD.

Still waiting for my answer on fixed vs tiered for SGX pricing. Maybe I should make good use of that excellent toll-free Skype service once again.

High 5!

Same for me in terms of the logo and referral.

Similar to the steps above:

1. Submitted my delink request form and passport on 14th July through email (accountmangement@interactivebrokers.com) and IBKR message centre
2. Received response from IBKR through message centre saying my request is being processed.

That's about it for me too.

EDIT:

Daily report dated 16th July 2021 confirms that the delinking is completed.

Switched to tiered pricing and enabled fractional shares.

As stated above (similar experience with Tadashi), I was not requested to give them a call to verify details.

purchase any stock before using your account?
looking from your error message, it seems you need to navigate to Account Management > Trading Experience & Permissions
then add your appropriate trading permission under "Stocks" section

here's my setting:

pink stocks need different permissions I think

You need to enable OTC trading.

cash acc must wait for T+2 days for to settle... trade any earlier you violate free riding trading regulation and you get suspended... margin account no such problem... if you can manage obviously no problem with either

It depends on how big is your funding amount.

As IBKR charges US$2.00 per each currency conversion.

Wise will charge more if you convert more, say (MYR to USD, the more you intend to convert, the more you will pay in conversion fees).
