Standard Chartered Online Trading Account

Before you can invest, you'll need to have a trading account.

Currently, Standard Chartered is the only option that offers no minimum commission, which is great for investing small amount of money every month. Every other bank or brokerage is not acceptable due to the high expense incurred e.g. minimum $25.

Standard Chartered Brokerage Fee : 0.2%
