I'm looking to switch brokerages from OCBC Securities to DBS Vickers. Anybody with experience to share?

DBS Vickers win OCBC securities by many miles. I feel that ocbc does not have good app for either banking nor securities. One simple but important difference is between SMS OTP and Hardware token, OCBC securities allow ONLY one verification method after you have successfully entered account id and password. So if your sms delays or fails, there is no alternative for verification. DBS Vickers are better in apps. They allow both method of verification. DBS is much better. DBS Ibanking app wins iOCBC by many miles too. That is if we compare only dbs and ocbc.

Why oCBC no good? U mine sharing, lol.... Wanted to change to them...

Most Stock Brokerage Account are linked to One CDP account.

That's make buying and selling possible with different brokerage and for you will be OCBC and DBS.

The only downside is transactions are not updated on the brokerage side if the buying and selling are not from the same brokerage.

At all time, you should login to your CDP account to check your holdings.

The downside about CDP is the pricing on average up or down is not reflected accurately so you can refer to the existing pricing reflected in your OCBC account before you delete any records from your OCBC portfolio record.

From there, you can use the record you confirmed and type it into DBS portfolio record.

Bear in mind you should delete the record which are redundant or are sold off by the different brokerage you used.

In an event, you saw x shares in OCBC portfolio but you already sold off x shares using DBS portfolio.

And if u sell the x shares with no x shares in CDP, it will be classify as short selling and you will be fine by SGX after paying the losses or receive the gain (unlikely) in the process.

我是不是很棒棒？
