Hello, I am 19 years old and just about to start investing. My plan is to buy stocks with 4-5k that I have saved and hold for a term of about 5 years. Which brokerage account is suitable?

There is no price, however opening an account takes a very long time; according to a friend of mine spacebar clicker

Tiger or moomoo

You can check out td ameritrade. No fees but account opening take very long, my friend say take more than 4 months now. Alternative will be tiger broker, faster process

I think it depends on which markets you want access to.

If you only need US market access, TD Ameritrade is likely your best pick. Free commission, low FX spread and great desktop user interface.

If you need US and SGX/HK market, Tiger Brokers are a good choice too. Commissions are relatively low at USD 1.99 per trade.

I personally use IBKR, but I understand that you are probably a passive investor and as such, probably won't incur the minimum comms to waive the inactivity fee, hence I did not recommend it for you.
