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

You can send SGD/EUR to IBKR directly using Instarem. But I'm not sure if USD is allowed.
Previously you can't, so the only way was to send to SG Bank then to IBKR (Citibank in SG).
Refer to the 1st post of this thread. Moosset already did a great job putting most of the info there.
CIMB SG did call me and ask me the reason for opening the account.

Yes, banks may reject you because without income, it's unlikely that you have money to invest.
This is why you should get a job asap.

yes. only gave email , phone number and password iirc
everyone gets a different bank account number - that's how IBKR tracks your funds.

It's FOC because I'm dialing a toll free number in US. They just set a new temp password over the call and ask me to login and confirm. From there on, you change to different password

They ask for your username or account number. Then they ask you to provide answers to the security questions.

I'm trying to reset my IBKR password from IBKR web site but one of the step is asking me to enter the code from the security device. I've never received any device from IBKR. Any idea how to reset password apart from calling customer service via phone?

PS: I opened the IBKR account via TSG.
