Been transferreing euros via transferwise to IB and always available to trade within 4 hours. Really outstanding service with great rates.

Transfer wise is that fast?
I think even i transfer directly from SG Bank to IBKR also take like 2 hours fastest.

How long transferwise will reach the bank account if one initiated a remittances from one country bank to another country bank?

I have been funding my IBKR with HKD and converted it to USD to buy US stock leaving a small balance of less than HKD50. But I realised after some time the small HKD balance will become zero. Not sure if anyone of you experience that and why it happened. Thanks for input.

any balance of less than USD$5 will be automatically converted to your base currency, free of charge!

what is the minimum shares we can buy? is it 100?

cause we cant buy fracitonal shares

that is something to do with the exchange.

If HKEX, it is like Msia Bursa or SGX, need min. 1 lot or 100 shares.

US stock can buy just 1 share.

Well, if you want to buy Berkshire, there's the cheaper class B option.

Ya, i know that.
Just giving him example of one stock price with super high price. So imagine buying that without fractional share

QUOTE(hydra.my @ Jun 27 2020, 12:15 PM)
Yep, it varies based on stock exchange.

Also, for HKEX, it also very well depends on the stock which you are purchasing too. For example,

Tencent: min lot is 100 units (i.e. 1 lot = 100 units)
China maple leaf: min lot is 2000 units (i.e. 1 lot = 2000 units)

For US, as mentioned, minimum is 1 share. smile.gif Though, for fractional shares which was mentioned too, I had friends trading it, but never explored it personally.
*
Oh, didnt know about this. But i rarely go look at China stock or HKEX.
Good info.
Is it due to the min. Transaction? In that case actually per trade cost actually not that cheap..

Hey there! I just opened an IBKR account and I'm really excited to start investing. I plan to fund my whitelabel IBKR using my US account. Has anyone tried sending money from malaysian bank account to us account using instaRem? Will i run into any roadblocks or interrogations of why im sending money abroad? Is instaRem a secure to send money?

Hi All

Just to share an update, same like Ziet Inv, I was requested to do a phone call verification. I almost forgot the answer to my 3rd question (somehow I decided to set myself up with a multiple-choice answers' security question. WHY GRACIE WHY??? doh.gif)
I've completed the verbal verification for now and they ask me to continue waiting and monitor secure messages/email if there's any further action needed from my side. Nothing I can do but wait.

Timeline:
Saturday, 10th Jul 0100: Sent completed form to TSG, cc IBKR, with ticket lodged
Monday, 12th Jul 2200: Email received from IB on verbal verification requirement
Tuesday, 13th Jul 0030: Completed verbal verification


Updated my blog post as well with the detailed steps (plain text version in spoiler)

would like to share my de-link process as well..

submitted the request by email to ibkr on 13/07.. there were no news/email/notification whatsoever thereafter.. though i did noticed the appearance of ibkr pro logo, refer friend link and option for tiered commission.. however my statement still showed TSG as master name..

hit up live chat this afternoon.. and u've guessed it, the representative confirmed my de-link was successful.. and informed that the master name of TSG will be gone by next week (as they're refreshing this and process new de-link once a week friday).. i've enquired as well why there was no request for verbal verification for my account.. the reply was that my signature on the de-link form matched that in their record.. so i guess those who was requested for verbal verification might have deviate their signature on the form away from their passport signature (or any other signed document submitted during their initial account opening step)?

anywhere, that's all.. hope it'll bring more clarity
*
if not mistaken, the signature is just the "insert the text of your name, as the signature"

polarzbearz,
or anyone else..
when writing email to TSG, did they try to retain you as a customer by offering you lower commission?

And, in fact why do we need to write to TSG?
To me, seems like can fill up this form and send to ibkr directly.. Any comment?
