It feels like the difference between how Ramjade and I manage our IBKR accounts can be summarised as follows:

1. Ramjade tries to minimize/eliminate all his costs, incurring some inconvenience along the way.
2. I go for convenience, incurring cost while I'm at it.

Interesting. Newbies would probably be better off somewhere in the middle.

I've never tried TT but as with all transfers,
1) the ones you know - fill them out: bank details etc.
2) the ones you don't know - just make up a story, like Pendidikan Moral in Form 5.

No email address? Give your own or make one up.
No IC? Give your own or make one up.
No phone number? Give your own or make one up.

#this applies to InstaRem, Transferwise and all bank transfers.

None of these is important, other than the actual bank details given by IBKR.

Small amount or large amount?
