Do you guys get this problem? If you log out and log in again within 15 min, you cannot do online trading because it says you are still logged into the previous session and you should log in again after 15 mins. Frustrating.

In my experience, roughly 1k will incurred about $2 fees on stanchart. HTH.Can I check, for stand chart securities, if I buy 1 share at $0.05, total I need to pay is:
1 share: $50
Personal banking brokerage fees: 0.20%
Market fees: 0.0325%
Total: $50.12?
is there a list of sgx stocks that scb forbids trader to buy?
wanted to buy interra oil stocks but not listed inside
my friends were telling me that when you use scb to buy stocks. you don't really own them, stand chart are just holders. so if anything happens, they're aren't liable?
can anyone help sort this out?
They are the custodian and no big deal. Unless u got a lot of money and wants to make a call during agm. If not as a retail investor, scb is fine.
If anyone knows.
Help me.
I have $100K want to transfer.
The guys in that thread were saying something about getting a bank cheque from Citibank, depositing that into a USD account at Stanchart, and using that to fund the USD trading account? Did you give that a try?
Yes. It is not really the forex charge per se, but rather the high spread of forex conversion. For example, you change SGD to USD at 1.34, and then change USD back to SGD at 1.29, when the actual spread itself could be 1.32/1.31 respectively. I would rather leave the USD5 as float inside the account, which I do.
Commission is charged in USD and will be deducted from your USD settlement account.
Yes and I did my check on that. its not possible.
the brokerage settlement account is an internal account. SC stated they dont accept checks for it.
while He opens a normal account of course he is able to cash in a check.
stjoe1 in another thread said he opened a SCB US$ High Yield Account and is able to transfer his US$ between the High Yield Account and SSA.
Wondering if he can share here whether the transfer in both directions is allowed and also that SCB doesn't charge anything for the transfer
US$ High Yield Account --> US$ SSA
US$ SSA --> High Yield Account
But isn't exactly that what you're trying to do? You get a check from Citibank; deposit it into the Stanchart USD high yield account, then transfer that to the USD settlement account. That gets your USD into the settlement account without needing to cross the USDSGD spread twice.
I'll grant you it's a bit clunky, and anyway you should be going to Interactive Brokers if you've got that much money, because IBKR waives their monthly fee on $100k USD accounts, but... I don't think he was trolling. I think he was giving you an actual answer.
I don't see any of my stocks displayed at the portfolio page. Anyone encountered the same problem too?
I have that problem. Scb always got problem one
