Hi, quick question. If I want to buy IWDA on LSE, since it's dominated in USD, I would have to transfer or exchange my SGD in esavers to USD in my FCY USD account?

Thank you!

You're half right. You only need to transfer into the Securities Settlement USD account. Unless your FCY USD account offers better exchange rate, don't do it, it's just a waste of time

dividends delayed for 3rd day today already..Keppel Reit, Fraser CT, Ascott Reit..:s22:

Suggest you all give SCB a call. It's 2nd day delay if your dividend pay date is on 28 August, as SCB is always delayed by 1 day. So proper time to receive is yesterday, today is 2nd day delayed.

Happen to me before, they get in after another day. Otherwise, call them up.

Anyone got hit with the fall below fee for esaver? I deposited $1000 on 28 Aug and still got the $5 charge today.

Thought this rule only works from 28 Aug, effectively started in month of Sept?
I have near $0 in my esaver for the whole month of August and didn't tio any charge, perhaps it's other charges?

any one receive dividends from US stocks in their SCB? Do they always deduct the tax 1st before issuing the dividends?

Update: I just called in and they waived the fee straight away. :)
