Is buying ETFs via internet banking e.g DBS under investments OR buying them through a regular brokerage better for long term accumulation needs?

Going to invest in some ETFs soon but am thinking between these 2 platforms. Are they the same or which method would cost me more in the long run?

Buy via DBS/POSB under the invest tab, as the key here is regular (Regular Savings Plan - RSP) to achieve DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging), for longer term this platform as it is automated self services, so the fees is much lower than regular brokerage.

If you are buying STI ETF for long term accumulation and you can only afford 300-500 per month, it would be more optimal to go with DBS Invest Saver (RSP)

If you are considering buying foreign ETF, consider Interactive Broker.

Extremely cheap and reputable.

Is it really worth it to invest in VOO or other ETFs via a regular shares savings plan? Or is it better to invest a lump sum and hold it for the long term?

I am keen to invest in Ireland-domiciled/LSE ETF via DCA/RSP for long-term (i.e retirement as I want to avoid WHT in US market). Any advice to use Saxo or DBS Vickers, considering fees and charges on RSP?

1. I only want to invest in US ETF (E.g. CSPX, Ireland Domiled based) long term. I will be buy few units probably on every quarter or 6 months. What's the most cost effective way to do so.?

Is it worth it to invest in an accumulating Irish-domiciled ETF if I'm planning to buy and hold long term (and not rely on dividend earnings)?

Hi, Im 22 and have around $5k that I would like to invest. Currently have a DBS Vickers account and looking to invest long-term. Should I start with STI ETF (ES3), or Lion Phillip S-REIT ETF (CLR)?
