Prefer old fashion but trustworthy and dependable. Full selection of the market is also available with no inactivity fee (very important for me since prefer to long hold) and if you want to leave them, a full ACAT is available for a small fee. Unfortunately, this also means it will be a highly sought after platform
Haven't tried but according to their newsletter it should go back to the transfer acc. The only thing I want to know now is that if using credit/debit option, can we still withdraw to bank or will it go to credit/debit? Because according to their FAQ, it should be withdraw to last deposit method. I'm looking at OCBC frank to save up on exchange rates but I wonder if this will change the withdraw option to the card or will it stay as previous bank acc. I've opened a ticket regarding this but no reply yet and not expecting a reply anytime soon and TD ameritrade registration I think maybe next year only go through (and that is IF it goes through)

I have checked out BigPay, unfortunately, their bank transfer limit is only RM2000 per month and deposit limit is RM2,500 per day. Problem with deposit limit is if you withdraw and you receive it in that acc, I'm not sure if it will go through if your withdrawal exceeds RM2.5k. If anyone has had experience with this, it would be great to find out for sure.
Not sure of this, hopefully the support responds soon with an in-depth reply. Will update here if I get a response.

Hello, does anyone know which method is best for Depositing & Withdrawing Funds? 
I started getting into EToro about a month ago. Got myself verified and funded my account with $1,000 via Bank Transfer. Bought some shares and then topped up another $500 on the same day. Looking at my Online Transaction history got me feeling a bit uneasy. The first $1,000 appeared in my Bank Statement as a transaction to "YingYing IT Solutions". The second $500 appeared as a transaction to "JCH Smart Venture".... Why is it like this ah? Should I be concerned? I havent tried Withdrawing yet. Kinda curious to see what company will be transferring me my Capital.

EDIT: I see that we can no longer use Direct Online Transfer to fund our EToro accounts. Have to do Wire Transfer from Bank. I really dont want to incur RM10 wire transfer charges just to Deposit and again to Withdraw. Maybe funding via Debit Card really is the way to go now?

Yeah that isn't CFD. You're buying actual shares if it shows that so it should be good. 

How do you identify if it is being regulated by ASIC (AU), CySEC (EU) or FCA (UK) in the app ya? And also how to see if it is CFD or not?

Don’t think it’s complicated . Can open as fast as within 2 days .

Watch from Youtube, the best is to open CIMB Sg bank account in order to fund the IB account and start trade?

Go to Settings. Then go to Profile. It is shown there under which regulation.

When you Open a trade without leverage, it is buying the underlying asset (Non-CFD). If you buy with Leverage, it is a CFD trade. It is clearly shown in the Open Trade page.

Hey guys,

a noob questions here...

it's it recommend to use full name as per ID to register for an account? cos i did a mistake by just using my firstname and surname.

and i don't see any mention of ASIC on my account, just these

eToro (UK) Ltd, a Financial Services Company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the license FRN 583263

any advice would be appreciated.. don't shoot me ah 

So I was trying up etoro

FX deposit rate is bad

And how comes no margin trading for a lot of stuff, even it claimed here?
https://www.etoro.com/customer-service/help...at-is-leverage/

My account is under UK jurisdiction should have leverage enabled to all, but crypto, ETF, all got none

haven't got much answer from etoro's support for the past 1 week.. any sifus care to share ?

can i still deposit to Etoro using BigPay?

Not a sifu but I'm using full name for my account ID as well. Didn't know about this at first but doubt it's a problem. You should be covered by either one not both I think depending on which ones are assigned to your account. Did you register the acc while you were in the UK or studying there? It might be why. Usually, for Malaysians it would be under ASIC.

hey thanks!

I'm still thinking whether to close this account and re-register again or ask the "non-existent" support to help update my name.
I'm actually quite surprised when I saw only FCA is assigned to my account. I was expecting ASIC as well.
FYI, I've never been to the UK, except for Ulu Kelang    I don't use VPN and my WAN IP is sitting nicely within malaysian ISP range. I just registered the account few days ago. With all these doubts, I'm holding back on funding my account or even trade. 

Unless there are changes that I'm not aware of, it should still be working. I made my deposit with BigPay sometime last week.

Since we made deposit using BigPay, do we still need to use back BigPay account when withdraw money from eToro account?

If eToro is not so good, can u recommend a better trading platform?
