Thanks moosset. Yeah, i did noticed someone hit the same error as mine few pages earlier.
Just done with the entire application with IBKR via TSG site. Hopefully it works this time, pending new acct approval.

1 more thing, i've noticed that IBKR site directed by TSG was pointing to Aus site ending with '.com.au'.
Wondering was that the reason that led to the previous error, i remembered the first signup was via .com.au too.
If it is, then i'm gonna hit the same error again, let's see how it goes.

The first initial deposit to CIMB SG $1000 amount must transfer from CIMB MY? Can I use like bigpay/instarem? Coz the bank rate is higher compare to others.

Unfortunately to open you need a work permit etc. I called the hotline and they said CIMB Malaysia can only link if you already have a SG account. Otherwise you can go the CIMB Preferred route but you need 250k to even begin lol

yes, €0.63 from TW (€) to IBKR (€).

I just needed some € in my TW debit card to activate a payment system so I gave it a go.

Nope, not yet.

only for overseas residents like SG, Australia, etc.

Hi, im considering opening account in Interactive Brokers.
if i would like to trade HK stock, i need to deposit SGD into IB --> USD --> HKD right?
can anyone provide me some insight on the currency exchange rate? says today 5th June 2020
i would like to compare the currency exchange rate to that of local brokerage.

Tried transferring SGD using BigPay. SGD810. Only RM2,500 max BigPay top up for me per month. First international transfer is free. Since no place to write user ID/reference, I purposely put a non-round number just in case they can't match lol.

Received it in IBKR after 2 working days. 

Yes. They automatically opt my fees following TS global. Not sure how to opt back to Pure IB though, but didn't bother as my trade commission via IB currently is USD10 or less per month anyways. Barely trade penny stocks or active trading.
No need. First, create a new method of transfer, then just say it's from BigPay and fill up the information required. Even the information for bank account number is optional.

Then, initiate a notification of intent to transfer with them. Just ensure the amount stated on intention to transfer is the exact same amount that you're gonna transfer.

It seems they just match the actual amount transferred via the stated bank vs the notification of intent to transfer. So, to be safe, I put in a non-round number. Once, when transferring USD via Maybank, I actually forgot to put my user id/reference, but the amount still got deposited in a matter of hours.

Note that BigPay cannot transfer in USD ya. So ensure you select SGD as currency.
Oh great, thought max was 2,500 whichever method 

If i deposit usd from hk or sg multicurrency account to ib, are there charges or handling fees? How about withdrawal, if i withdraw usd do i get in hkd or sgd assuming in crediting to local banks?

Trding212 is ok.
If I have UK bank account sure open an account with them already.

Are you 100% sure they missed?
Ex-date and payment date is different.

Yes I won't convert back. My money which I transfer overseas are basically one way ticket. The reason is simple. Ringgit is a a depreciating asset and I won't hold onto a depreciating asset.
That way I can maintain my purchasing power.
Theoretically yes but I don't think anyone tested yet. If you have tested, kindly let us know.

Too bad I don't have the TW Borderless Account. I signed up only after they removed Malaysians eligibility.

Thanks. If it work is a good alternative.

i have been using Trading212 for past few weeks.
basically good stuff:

a) accessible to US,  Europe (not fully)
b) no maintenance fee
c) fractional shares.  (from USD1)
d) no transaction fees
e) easy to deposit money (use BIGPAY debit card for almost @ spot live rate)
f) option for CFD account. i did not explore it yet

overall, great brokerage with everything laid out clearly
If ur a small amount investor who doesn't want misc fees and inconvenience, trading212 is the way to go

Basically, easy forward to open acc. doc needed : Passport, Bank account statement, utility bills. Most important of all, name and address must same and correspond to you what you have registered.

Trading212 is so cool, the user interface is very user friendly and modern. I wonder if 0$ commission, 0 fees, how they make money?

Just wondering, usually how long does it take to get whitelable IBKR account approved (funded)?

Sifu here. I'll help answer your question.

Before you apply for trading permission on an additional security/product, make sure you have met the requirements needed. For CLPs, the requirements according to IBKR are:

"In the case of Complex & Leveraged Products, you must have a Good or Extensive Knowledge Level for stocks and options, or stocks and futures, or take a test."

Additionally, they require you to have a certain amount of liquid net worth and income according to your age. For age 31 to 40, liquid net worth should be at least $50k and income at least $45k.

Once you have submitted the permission request, on the account permissions main page, the link "request for permission" next to the product should have been replaced with a greyed out "global". That means it's pending. If it still shows "request for trading permission", then you have not submitted the request yet.

It usually takes less than 24 hrs on a weekday, but because of the influx of noobs like you to platforms like IBKR and robinhood, there might be delays.

Good luck, boy!

Obviously it's an error la. Where got 31 Dec 4712?
