Does anyone have a full hands on experience (from depositing, converting USD to SGD, and withdrawal) in TD Ameritrade ?

My account is only approved after 2 months (I opened saxo in 3 hours several years ago). Not transparent conversion fee, and I am concerned that when I deposit / withdraw, it will take days (at this point i am not surprised that it will take weeks). Any thoughts whether these worth pursuing just to save a few hundred bucks on commission ?

Hi there, my account opening took a very long time, close to about 3 months to be verified.

Depositing funds is fairly easy, I made a direct transfer from my DBS SGD account, although the FX conversion rate to USD will cause you to loose out on a few dollars. This took about 2 working days.

I have yet to make any withdrawals, as I'm planning on holding stocks for medium to long term with this broker.

Mine just got approved recently too. Instead of transferring SGD to TD then wait for them to convert to USD, I transferred USD direct to their USD account. It took about 3 days to reflect in the trading account.

Have not tried withdrawal yet due to the $25 fee.
