Tiger brokers is from china. I think it is fair to say that people may be wary of this fact. Even listed companies like Luckin coffee have suffered scandals and large investor losses

We won't know if they will go the same way MF global did. You will have to trust that they properly separate customer accounts and audits are done by MAS diligently. Fair to say that if Tiger brokers becomes another MF global, the SG gov will surely take a lot of heat for not auditing properly.

My opinion? They are having lots of promo, as is for a new launch. Take advantage of the launch but don't put all your eggs in one basket. I still keep my majority holdings in Interactive brokers.

There are a lot of referral code you can use for the promotion at this post here https://seedly.sg/questions/anyone-has-a-tiger-...

Lastly, do your own due diligence, you will see a lot of account trying to promote their referral code everywhere on. Check their post history and make sure they are giving you an objective answer

Hi. They are one of the new stock brokers in town licensed by MAS where you can trade S.G., U.S., and H.K. shares. Their trading fee for U.S. shares starts at $1.99. Upon sign up, you get to enjoy 30 days commission free trading. Personally, I prefer their web trading platform which feels faster and more user-friendly compared to the mobile app.

They are licensed with MAS CMS license, backed by Xiaomi and also listed on Nasdaq. As such, I do think it would be fine to park some money and try trading with them.

Anw, they have also listed S.G. shares recently, where commission is chargeable at 0.08% commission with no minimum (custodian basis though).
