Choosing an online broker

Noodles · Post by **Noodles** » Mon Jan 17, 2011 3:43 pm

Hello,

I'm looking for an online broker and would like advice on which are the better ones, if there is no best. For a start, who offers the lowest fees? Is there any reason to go with more than 1 broker?

Better still, if anyone has come across a comparison site for SG online brokers equivalent to this (http://online-stock-trading-review.toptenreviews.com), do let me know.

Thank you.

I was enquiring around too. Just to share what I found out: UOB KayHian takes 10 days to activate. iOCBC takes less time so I went with them. Signing up was very fast (to my surprise) and they assigned a broker who called me within hours to explain everything to me. That was a helpful touch since I'm so new to this. Maybe UOB KH does that too, I dunno. Oh, they have a mobile app too that lets me trade using iphone. Sounds pretty decent unless I'm missing something.

Hi all,
I have friends who are remisers with Philip Securities (POEMS) and OCBC Securities. Let me know if you need a remiser, just email to dennis@masteryourfinance.com providing your name, mobile number and I'll ask my friends to contact you.

This maybe better than just based on chance and luck to be assigned a remiser to serve you.
