Yong Kah Hwee9 Reviews, 608 UpvotesReviewed on 17 Sep 2018I have been using DBS Vickers for a few years now. I use the Cash Upfront account to buy my shares, because it offers one of the lowest commission on the market. Using this platform also helps me increase my returns in my DBS Vickers account. However, the trading platform can be improved by updating its looks and functions. Other brokerage accounts offer apps with much better functions and looks.Comments (0)20Share this- Sumarto ISkandar1 Reviews, 1 UpvotesReviewed on 27 Aug 2018I trade mostly shares listed in US, HK and Singapore. Settlement in USD and HKD is a big problem. I have to go down to the branch, queue for an hour at teller at DBS, then the fund take 2 working days to received. Same thing when Vickers transfer to DBS account. Also have to Queue and take 2 days to receive the fund. I understand the Vickers's usd or HKd acccount with DBS. The problem is obvious but no one is solving the issue. The digibank doesnt work too. Very frustrating..Comments (0)10Share this
- Frank Ng1 Reviews, 2 UpvotesReviewed on 19 Jul 2018Vickers is generally unfavoured compared to SCB's lower rates, but there are some advantages: - Easy integration with DBS bank accounts - Cash upfront provides low rates for local trades - Decent number of promotions and rebates for active traders - Access to certain exchanges (for example: TSX and US OTC) that the rest don't - Seamless sign up and 24H customer service - So far got free 4X movie tickets to an exclusive screening and buffet for selected traders (guess I've used/paid them a lot) before...was nice!Comments (0)10Share this
- Brandon Loi3 Reviews, 6 UpvotesReviewed on 19 Jul 2018Pros: - Competitive Rates - Linked to DBS accounts Cons: - Poor customer service - Horrendous UI for mobile app I have switched from DBS Vickers to DBS Wealth Management, which is much much better. There is also no minimum commissions for trades, and there is access to many international markets but with the accompanying custodian fees.Comments (0)10Share this
- Chen Yong Ng8 Reviews, 12 UpvotesReviewed on 16 Jun 2018Using DBS Vickers Securities as it charges lower commission fees with cash upfront option. However, cash upfront option is not available on apps.Comments (0)10Share this
- Marianne Tan7 Reviews, 8 UpvotesReviewed on 31 May 2018I opened my Vickers online trading account recently. It was very convenient to open it using iBanking since I already have a Multiplier account and a CDP account. My first 3 trades are free as part of the account opening promotion. However I'm not very sure about the customer service as they were not very speedy when I emailed them. Also, the app doesn't have the option for cash upfront, but I realised I could just use my mobile browser to make cash upfront trades. Overall, there is a lot of room for improvement but I'm still a satisfied customer.Comments (0)10Share this
HC Tang17 Reviews, 858 UpvotesReviewed on 21 May 2018Use DBSV for the easy access to ibanking on DBS/POSB. New comers to this landscape and find the website hard to use, not welcoming for newcomers and hard to understand each terms and what it does. Called CSO and find their service ok. If only they could make it more user friendly with lots of tool tips to explain the usage and features of each items / selections. On boarding is also a pain, had to fill up at least 10 to 15 pages and forms and agreement here and there... such a pain .. Hope the future of trading using the platform can be easier as I learn more and hope more guides about how to on the tools can be make available.Comments (0)20Share this- Prashant Soraiyur1 Reviews, 1 UpvotesReviewed on 10 May 2018The commissions are competitive (Unfortunately, it is high across all banks in SG) and customer support is good. I chose DBSV over other brokerages only because of the integration into DBS iBanking, which makes it easy to review my portfolio, use GIRO for seamless payments. The thing which bugs me the most is the horrendous DBSV mobile app. The UX is horrible, difficult to use and many of the features on the desktop site are not present. I fail to understand how the same bank can have two contrasting apps - iBanking (unbelievably good) and DBSV (unbelievably bad).Comments (0)10Share this
- Tan Ying Quan3 Reviews, 3 UpvotesUpdated on 26 Apr 2018This is probably the worst app i’ve used. The poor UI/UX on both mobile and web gives me anxiety about using the platform. I had issues such as not being able to view my SG Stocks and had constant difficulty getting through to its customer service. The only small advantage it has is that it is linked to your DBS account. I won’t recommended anyone to use this.Comments (0)20Share this
- Jordon Chiong2 Reviews, 3 UpvotesReviewed on 17 Mar 2018I find the commission fees payable are considerably low compared to other brokers (but it seems that many are catching up by being on par with one another). The user interface for DBSV is pleasant and easy to use. However, they do not reflect or give a gauge on how well is your portfolio doing. I am using a cash-upfront account with DBSV. Accessing DBSV can be a hassle with me being required to login via DBS ibanking in order to access DBSV. Would have scored more starts if they reflect my total holdings and portfolio performance! :(Comments (0)10Share this
