Funded Saxo with sgd for buying US stocks. Now is USD account. Can I still transfer SGD to buy SG shares? Will Saxo show 2 different balances ie. SGD and USD?

I'd recommend to use TransferWise for converting SGD into USD & sending these into any (even within Your country) of Your accounts.

The brokerages (mostly) have hidden fees for these currency conversions which they don't give You on any statement, they don't use the fair 'interbank exchange' rate.

There are some TransferWise competitors, so study & compare their rates, but from my experience (no advertising here) TransferWise is safe, reliable and fast. They are constantly improving/developing and instead of the former 2-3 day transfer intervall have started to use more and more 'instant' transfers.

I'm planning to sell some of my US stocks and the funds will be transferred back into my ocbc 360 account as USD. May i know is it possible for my ocbc 360 account to receive in terms of USD or i have to change the currency to SGD first?

How can I fund my Saxo trading account (base currency USD) from a Singapore bank account with SGD balance? Can I use money transfer service such as Transferwise or Instarem? What's the cheapest way?

I just transferred $13,000 SGD to IBKR. I plan to buy some US stocks, i.e. NVDA. Should I just proceed to buy leaving the currency in SGD or should I get IBKR to convert it to USD first. Thanks

TDA Singapore only has Margin Account, no Cash Account. If I have $50k in the Margin Account and I buy a US stock with a total cost of $20k. Is my purchase is considered as a "cash investment" without any margin, since I still have $30k balance?

Hi is there any way to change the base currency of my SAXO account from SGD to USD, without the need to open a sub-account? Cause I don't want to absorb extra fees for my buy/sell orders for US stocks?
