What brokerage do you use, for both SG stocks and other international stocks like US, and why?

Hi HY, I am personally using DBS Vickers and IBKR hence it should be quite similar with your strategy.

For US stocks, it is generally cheaper to be investing via an overseas brokerage account compared to the local ones such as those by the local banks. IBKR charges around USD$1 per trade, and they use spot rates for their FX. Hence both could help you save quite a bit.

That said, should your account holds less than USD$100k, IBKR charges USD$10 per month outstanding of any trading fees for the transations you make for the month. For example, for 3 trades it'll be $3 in trading fees. Overall you'll be charged an additional $10-$3=$7 for that month.

Some are detered by the USD$100k rule and hence resort to using Saxo or TD instead. You could also keep these as considerations.​​​

I use Stand Chart for local and IB for all others! They got one of the most competitive fees in the market.
