I myself have no problem to deposit using BigPay on 1/6.
But my brother tried today with his BigPay but failed, below error shown. Anyone face this too?

The new Bigpay VISA cards don't work with eToro. You need to have the original Mastercard. Once you change to the new cards it'll no longer work.

someone please make a petition to have BigPay Visa card to allow Etoro transaction, they cant just censor transaction like that

hahaha why cannot? if you dont like you their policy, can always migrate to other platform.

Is etoro bad or shady or something? I see many people not recommending etoro and telling me to open an ibkr account instead, but macam ibkr very leceh, need me to set up a singaporean bank account and all...

I already have bigpay and paypal, seems very seamless to just use etoro.

Yeap. I was very unhappy. Furthermore i cant reach their customer service after one month, they replied that they will respond to me which then no further reply since then.

So im switching. Bye eToro.

Anyone else face issues with the app on IOS platform.

The app crashes regularly when I click on notifications or a particular stock.

This happens more often during trading hours.

Anyone tried depositing fund using paypal?
I heard a lot of problem revolving around Bigpay. Im thinking of sending money from Bigpay to paypal and then deposit money from Paypal to etoro

Hi just wana update.

I been using bigpay and credit card to deposit my money.
It was a pleasant experience to withdraw my money. Put in my local bank account number and all money received in 2 days time.

So i think withdrawal shouldnt be an issue

Bigpay works now. You may deposit with BigPay.

IIRC, they charge fee when you want to withdraw. Withdrawal is dodgy. Have you tried? If you haven't, it's funny you trust a broker when you haven't withdrawn. Most Malaysians reported that they got random stranger refunding them their monies back. Meaning some random dude's name will appear on your bank statement.

IBKR is not leceh. You can deposit directly into IBKR using TransferWise as long as it's not USD. SG bank account only needed if want to get back money. There's a free monthly withdrawal without charge.

Withdrawal is free once you hit their Gold club, which is $10,000 invested or more.
As for those transactions, it happens to my Forex brokers as well, but these should be ok since they are licensed under Tier-1 FCA.

BigPay blocks eToro again. Sigh!

anyone have any alternatives to top up Etoro? using credit card is expensive like hell, the rate is like 2+% !!! am thinking to open an account in IBKR if they have better reputation, although Etoro is licensed in Australia, scare also rug pull.

So apparently they removed the ability to invest in real US ETFs with Etoro UK and Europe accounts without making an announcement about it. You can test this out yourself by going to the trade screen. No point in using this anymore for long term since it's all CFDs.

Has anyone tried withdrawing from eToro to bigpay VISA recently? I deposited through bigpay Master 2 years ago. The card numbers are different for VISA and Master.
