It's outdated now. :/ Didn't update the post.
Latest news is TransferWise is getting competitive and might even be better than Instarem.
Best is to compare again.

Hey, is there a Telegram group chat for IBKR Malaysian users? Should we create one if there isnt?

you can get the ball rolling.....

moosset, As you're the TS, I think it's an honour if you create

I don't use Telegram. Don't think I want an extra app in my phone.

ibkr don't accept debit credit cards

What I meant was that BigPay is the only one that functions with a credit card top up and you can use that to send money to SGD

Ya this one is outdated. Even during that time BigPay's fee was at RM7 and then they lowered it to RM5 sometime early this year I think

I compared recently and there has been times where BigPay's rates are better than instarem. And BigPay fee is fixed at RM5

Just want to know if it'll reflect in IBKR in Singapore. Maybe I'll give it a try

There's a chance it may not work, you may still try it out for the benefit of everyone with a small amount

This is what shows up in my SG bank for Instarem and BigPay transfer:
i. Intarem
Inward FAST -
NSTAPTE3, OTHR-<MY NAME>XXXXXXXX<SEEMINGLY RANDOM ALPHANUMERICS>

ii. BigPay
Giro Credit from TikFx Singapore
BECH-<SEEMINGLY RANDOM ALPHANUMERICS>

For BigPay my name is not visible in the inward transfer. Another thing is that in BigPay there's no place to include transfer remarks to enter IBKR account number/name.

if this is the case bigpay can still be used but transfered to your own SG account first i guess

Today is last day

Cool thanks, I'll use this for this month instead of BigPay!

Hello, yes, I use trading212 in the UK. It works well and charges no commissions to trade shares mainly on USA and UK markets. Some European exchange shares are also available. In the UK, accounts are protected up to £75k subject to market values of course if brokers go bankrupt. Trading212 makes money via spread of buying and selling prices but they have been reasonable. You can set your own prices too.

My family members in Malaysia are also interested in trading212. Can you please let me know how it goes? Whether you signed up successfully and could deposit funds?

Thank you

Does anyone trading with TD Ameritrade Singapore here? Do you also use Singapore bank to transfer or do you directly fund and withdraw directly from Malaysia Bank?

but I trade options, can't afford any delayed, one snapshot cost USD0.01, wow... how much to trade to get free live market data? anyone knows? I am confused

I trade options too, I just subscribe for the live options data. I forgot the price but wasn't that big deal for me

is TSG forex fees higher than vanilla IBKR (i.e. with IdealFx Pro)?

Do not use TSG. Login to IB using the username and password provided. You get access to IB exchange rate.

If you are asking if you login to IB or TSG website which is the cheaper rate. I only login to IB. Never TSG.

Thanks, is it a yearly or monthly fees? where to subscribe ya? bit confusing
