Stanchart no minimum commission has come in at the very right time for me. As i dont usually buy in big quantities, my small quantities of shares bought and spread throughout the 1 year of volatile period of market conditions have saved me thousands of dollars in commission. :)

Hi all, newbie here. SCB currently offering two free trades of up to $100 each. I am new to trading and I am keen to get into this.

I read about CDP and still don't get it. So if I want to open a trading a/c with SCB, first I would need to register with CDP? Could any veterans here tell me where do I register with CDP or rather what I need to do to get started?

For SCB you don't need a CDP account, as SCB will be holding your shares.

Thanks for your reply.. they hold my shares but I can still trade as per normal right? as in buy/sell whenever I want..

There's this Stop Loss Order function in SCB, what is it supposed to do? I'm watching the online demo.

I call the hotline and the customer service officer did not really explain clearly to me what I want to know

I want to know:

1. beside the 0.2% commission, any other charges (GST, SGX Clearing Fee, Access Fee) involved?

2. The 0.2% commission is both buy and sell need to pay separately? Meaning I buy then need to pay, when I sell need to pay again?

3. I can still received dividends, just that cannot go attend AGM and get annual report?

Standard Chartered Bank Singapore

For SG market, add 7% GST. So if you are under Personal Banking, your commission payable is 0.24% * 1.07.

2. You have to pay commission every time you make a trade, it doesn't matter whether it's buy or sell.

3. No AGM, no annual report, just dividends.

Just to make it real clear, for US stocks: 0.25% to buy and 0.25224% to sell (for Personal banking aka normal customer). I think if people can qualify for Priority banking they won't mind paying the higher commissions through other brokerages :s13:
