Question: Open account at a bank that offers good trading platform?

[Nicholas Van Orton]

Good morning. I'm looking to diversify from Swissquote/Saxo Bank/Flowbank into other bank options that offer access to global markets. I checked CIM Banque (Switzerland) but it appears their IB connection is gone. Dukascopy Bank not a good option as it's mainly FX and a few CFDs for stocks/PMs. I attempted to open an account with Ameria Bank in the past with no success, so that wouldn't count either.

@Martin Everson or anyone else with knowledge of the matter may be of help, please?

Thank you.

FlatexDegiro Bank in Germany but its in German. So basic knowledge in needed. You can‌ also look at their professional trader platform ViTrade which maybe available in English but not‍ tried.

Standard Chartered in Singapore is not bad. And on not so cheap side you⁠ got BGL BNP Paribas in Luxembourg. Those are the credible banks off head I can⁤ think of.

They are no IBKR but it doesn't make much difference in the bigger picture

I had an account in Luxembourg. Everything was going smoothly until I contacted them with‌ a question. They must have noitced that I was a foreigner. I then recieved and‍ email saying I had ten days to get my funds out and close the account.⁠ Just wanted to share this.

Usually if you get approved once they don't kick you out, but if you have‌ played games with them you asked for troubles.

 

[Martin Everson]

No.

Would be better⁣ if you mentioned name of company.

Info worth bearing in mind from Standard Chartered Singapore FAQ on their online trading platform:‌

 

[GeneralGogol]

Which bank was it?

From what I know they can open an account if there⁣ is a local SC in your country.

 

[Martin Everson]

I have no inside track when it comes to SC.

 

[RexS9999]

Sorry for the late reply. Keytrade.

Interesting as Ketrade Bank‌ was taken over by Swissquote beginning of the year. All accounts were moved to Swissquote.‍ This must have happened a while ago or if recent you failed to migrate your⁠ account to Swissquote so they had to close it 😕.
