seifknight include standard chartered bank

lobong you should add citibank as well, their transaction fee is the lowest $18
26/09/2012 2:39 PM
samuelx Yes, i am using citibank as they have the lowest minimum fee and i am a small player.

You should be careful with SCB, because although they have zero minimum commissions, they do not hold your securities with CDP... so if you apply for IPOs through DBS/UOB, etc. you may not be able to sell your securities using Citi without an additional step of transferring, etd. dont think you can use conveniently with another broker at the same time too.

samuelx Anyway, this list should be outdated. I think MF Global is in the process of liquidation.

As feedback, I would suggest timestamping all such posts on the website so that users can tell when the post was made and when it was last updated.
