Hi sifus, would like to ask, let say for US based brokers, they do ask to fill in FIRST NAME and LAST NAME. For exp let say my name is NG XIAO MIN where i
fill NG as last name/surname and XIAO MIN as first name/given name hence give the name of XIAO MIN NG. Hence when performing wire transfer from local Malaysian bank, will the bank show the sender's name according to NRIC (NG XIAO MIN)? So when transfer to us broker account which carry the name XIAO MIN NG, will the fund be rejected and redirected back due to the misalignment of the name convention?

Hope sifus can shed some light on this and here i thanking you all in advance :)

ibkr lite not open for malaysian not sure if they will open in future?

It depends on how big is your funding amount.

As IBKR charges US$2.00 per each currency conversion.

Wise will charge more if you convert more, say (MYR to USD, the more you intend to convert, the more you will pay in conversion fees).
