I applied for the account this afternoon and my account is open already. I funded the account with 2k SGD. Funding is very similar to Tiger brokers direct debit. I prefer this because it is sure to hit my account, rather than doing the account transfer from my DBS account, there is always a fear whether my money will actually reach "my" account. The deposit was also instantaneous.
Webull offers 0% margin interest rate upto 50k. For my 2k SGD deposit my purchasing power is 7k. With margin account I dont need to convert to USD and also I dont need to pay any interest. I think this is an awesome convinience, which trumps brokers like Moomoo and Tiger.
I plan to buy 6 sharesof ARKK on Tuesday when markets open, just for fun. So I fulfil the 6 trades requirement to earn $100. ARKK is so cheap now, worth a punt and the amount is so small, it wouldnt really matter. I plan to keep the account for 1 month and after that withdraw everything.
