Security
  • How secure is this service?

    This service employs the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is one of the strongest encryption technology most commonly used by large-scale online merchants, banks, and brokerages worldwide. For transaction level security, this service employs "Two-Factor Authentication" to verify customer identity. All online sessions between you and the bank are protected by up to 128-bit encryption, which best protects your information against disclosure to third parties.

  • What is encryption and how is it used to protect my information?

    Encryption is a method of scrambling your information to protect its transmission across the Internet. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable form, and decryption reverses that process. Both encryption and decryption require the use of a special code, usually referred to as 'encryption key'. The encryption of data provides a strong degree of protection against tampering while data is moving through the Internet.

  • How do I activate Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Version 3.0?

Customer Account Review (CAR) and Risk Warning Statement (RWS)
  • What is the background of the Customer Account Review (CAR)?

    In 2011, new regulatory requirements were introduced which require financial intermediaries to formally assess a customer's investment knowledge and experience before selling certain investment products to the customer. The purpose of these new requirements is to better safeguard customers' interests. Therefore, the Bank requires all customers to complete a Customer Account Review to ascertain whether they have the necessary relevant knowledge or experience to trade in listed Specified Investment Products, including exchange traded funds and listed equities traded on an exchange outside Singapore. If customers do not possess the relevant knowledge or experience, the bank will not allow them to purchase any listed Specified Investment Products. The CAR also has to be re-evaluated every 3 years to ensure that the customer’s knowledge and experience remains relevant.m

  • What are listed Specified Investment Products?

    The list of capital markets products which are Excluded Investment Products (EIPs) are prescribed pursuant to local regulatory requirements (the Securities and Futures Act). Capital markets products which are listed AND do not fall within the definition of EIP will be considered listed SIPs. Examples of listed SIPs include exchange traded funds, securities with embedded derivatives, and foreign-listed stocks. Financial intermediaries who can identify EIP-equivalent investment products listed on foreign exchanges are permitted to treat these products as EIPs.

    On the part of Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited, we will continue to treat all foreign-listed capital markets products (such as foreign-listed shares) as listed SIPs.

  • Why am I prompted to do the Customer Account Review (CAR) before I can make any purchase of listed Specified Investment Products?

    The Bank requires all customers to complete a Customer Account Review to ascertain whether they have the necessary relevant knowledge or experience to trade in listed Specified Investment Products, including exchange traded funds, securities with embedded derivatives, and listed equities traded on an exchange outside Singapore.

    Do note that for Joint Accounts, ALL account holders are required to have completed the CAR and assessed to have the necessary relevant knowledge or experience, to purchase listed Specified Investment Products using their Joint Accounts.

  • What happens if I fail the Customer Account Review (CAR)?

    If you are assessed not to possess the relevant investment knowledge and experience to trade listed Specified Investment Products, you will not be able to purchase listed Specified Investment Products.

    You may continue to trade Singapore-listed Excluded Investment Products and sell existing listed Specified Investment Product holdings through our Online Trading platform.

  • How often am I required to renew my Customer Account Review (CAR)?

    The CAR has to be re-evaluated every 3 years to ensure that your knowledge and experience for the purchase of certain types of investment products (e.g. exchange traded funds, securities with embedded derivatives or listed equities traded on an exchange outside Singapore) remains relevant.

  • How can I access the CAR?

    Please follow the steps below to access the online CAR Declaration form on the Online Trading platform (accessed via Standard Chartered Online Banking on a web browser)

    Foreign-listed investment products, including Excluded Investment Products (EIPs), may carry a different set of risks and different levels of protection for investors from those offered locally. Intermediaries are required by local regulation to warn retail customers of the possible risks prior to the customer's first purchase of a foreign-listed investment product from 28 February 2013 and to obtain the customer's acknowledgement on the risk warning disclosure. This will apply to all foreign-listed investment products, regardless of whether the customer has transacted in such products prior to 28 Feb 2013, and whether the customer is assessed to have the relevant knowledge or experience to transact in Specific Investment Product (SIPs). These new requirements were announced on 9 May 2012. For more information, you may wish to access the announcement using the web-link below: http://www.mas.gov.sg/news-and-publications/media-releases/2012/mas-modifies-the-regulatory-requirements-governing-the-marketing-and-sale-of-listed-and-unlisted-investment-products.aspx

    The Bank is required to obtain the customer's acknowledgement that he/she has read and understood the Risk Warning Statement (RWS). Acknowledgement of the RWS applies to all foreign-listed investment products, regardless of whether you have previously transacted in such foreign-listed investment products prior to 1 January 2013, or whether you have been assessed to have the relevant knowledge or experience to transact in SIPs. Please read and understand the contents of the RWS before indicating your acknowledgement of the RWS. If you have any questions on the RWS, please contact your Relationship Manager, or visit any of our branches.

Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account
  • What is the purpose of having a Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account?

    The Securities Settlement Account is a separate, dedicated cash account used to cater to all your Online Trading needs. Its intention is to separate monies required for trading and monies resulting from your Online Trading activities from your day-to-day cash requirements (such as credit card payments, utilities payments, etc).

    The Wealth Cash Account is a single multi-currency settlement account that allows you to transact across different wealth products such as Equities, Fixed Income, Unit Trusts, Structured Notes, Structured Deposits, Foreign Exchange and Wealth Lending, eliminating the need of multiple settlement accounts that cater specifically to each of the different wealth products and transaction currencies. Similar to the Securities Settlement Account, its intention is to separate monies required for and resulting from your wealth related transactions from your day-to-day cash requirements (such as credit card payments, utilities payments, etc).

  • What currencies are supported under the Wealth Cash Account? Do I need to open a Wealth Cash Account in each of the different transaction currencies?

    No, you do not need to specifically open a Wealth Cash Account for each of the different transaction currencies that you require for your Online Trading transactions as the Wealth Cash Account will be opened with all the underlying currencies (SGD, AUD, NZD, EUR, JPY, USD, HKD, GBP, CHF, CAD, NOK, SEK, ZAR, DKK, CNH) at the point of account opening. All currencies used within the Online Trading platform are supported by the Wealth Cash Account.

  • Is there a minimum balance requirement needed to operate a Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account? Are there any monthly fees or an initial account opening deposit requirement?

    There is neither a minimum balance requirement nor monthly fees nor an initial account opening deposit requirement.

  • Will the Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account be interest bearing?

    No, there will not be any nominal interest paid out on the balances in your Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account.

  • How do I view balances in my Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account? Will there be statements provided?

    You can view and query your balances through Online Banking. Balances in your Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account will be reflected in your monthly consolidated statements. You will be given e-Statements if you have opted for them.

  • How many Securities Settlement accounts must I open?

    You need to open an account that corresponds to the currency that your trade is in.

    • Example: If you choose to trade in USD and SGD, you will require a USD and a SGD securities settlement account to be opened. You are allowed to tag the Securities Settlement account to only one Online Trading account and the mandates of both Securities Settlement accounts and Online Trading account must be the same.
    • Example: You have a joint Online Trading account and a single Online Trading account. You will have to open 2 sets of joint Securities Settlement account and single Securities Settlement account to be tagged to your respective Online Trading accounts.
  • How many Wealth Cash account must I open?

    Unlike the Securities Settlement Account where you need to open an account in every transaction currency which you require, you only need to open one Wealth Cash Account and it can be used to settle your trades across different transaction currencies.

    • Example: If you want to trade in USD and SGD, you will only need to open one Wealth Cash Account. The Wealth Cash Account can be used to settle your trades across both transaction currencies. However, a Wealth Cash Account can only be tagged to an Online Trading account where the mandates are the same.
    • Example: You have a joint Online Trading account and a single Online Trading account. You will have to open two Wealth Cash Accounts – one joint mandate Wealth Cash Account and one single mandate Wealth Cash account, which will then be tagged to your respective Online Trading accounts of a similar mandate.

  • How do I add markets that I have not opted for initially? Can I call in to opt for new markets to trade?

    Requests to add markets for trading can be done easily at any of our branches. Alternatively, you may speak to your Relationship Manager.

  • Am I able to get the latest news?

    The latest market news is available after you access your trading account, under the ‘Market Info’ Tab.

  • What are the changes to the real-time market data or depth, and how can I access it?

    SC Online Trading now offers clients the option of receiving a real-time price quote for a single counter on a request basis (‘Snapshot quotes’). This service differs from the previous quote service that offered continuous streaming and updating of real-time prices. Snapshot quotes are a low-cost alternative for clients to access real-time market data for specific counters and exchanges when placing orders.

    You will receive 2 snapshot quotes for every SGD1 in brokerage fees paid – these quotes are valid indefinitely. You may toggle the ‘Real-time’ switch to enable real-time quotes and select the ‘Refresh’ icon to obtain an updated real-time quote. Each refresh and enabling of the ‘Real-time’ switch would incur a deduction of 1 quote. Your remaining balance of quotes are indicated in the ‘Unused Quote’ field. Please note that real-time market depth is only applicable for SGX, and access to real-time market depth incurs 5 quotes instead of the usual 1 quote per real-time quote.

    Your reward points, used for the previous quote service, will now be converted into snapshot quotes at a 1-for-1 ratio.

    You may reach the Online Trading Hotline at 1800 242 5333 (+65 6242 5333 if you are calling from overseas) to subscribe to additional quotes. Please note that separate charges may apply, and these charges will be debited from your Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account.

  • Which type of securities can I trade online?

    You can trade most securities that are listed on the markets and exchanges that the Bank offers and allows trading in. This includes stocks, ETFs, and Company Warrants listed on the exchanges.

    Note that you may not be able to purchase certain stocks due to tax and/or regulatory restrictions. This includes, but is not limited to, Keppel-KBS US REIT (stock code: CMOU), Manulife US Real Estate Investment Trust (stock code: BTOU), Prime US REIT (stock code: OXMU), Eagle Hospitality Trust (stock code: LIW) and NTT DC REIT Manager Pte. Ltd (stock code: NTDU) listed on SGX.

    We may restrict trading for lower-priced and/or smaller company counters (eg. penny stocks, etc) that are more susceptible to heightened volatility and/or market manipulation. These restrictions are based on pre-defined market indicators, including but not limited to price, company size, and trading activity. Where a stock is assessed to carry higher risk, clients will not be able to acquire it on our trading platform.

  • What does LTV stand for?

    LTV stands for Loan-To-Value. They indicate the maximum credit limit made available to you when you apply for a secured wealth lending facility. For example, if client has holdings of a particular share which are which are valued at a market value of S$100,000 and LTV is 70%, client can be extended a loan of S$100,000*70% = 70,000 for this specific security.

    Note that the LTV value reflected in your portfolio on SC Online Trading are indicative figures that are periodically updated. The value here would not have any material impact on your lending position.

    To find out more, please visit: www.sc.com/sg/investment/secured-wealth-lending/

  • Who do I contact if I have further queries?

    Please call our contact centre hotline at 1800 242 5333 (local) or +65 6242 5333 (from overseas)

  • Can I place an order outside trading hours?

    Yes, you may place orders anytime during the day. However, do note that orders that are placed outside the exchange trading hours will be accepted only upon the reopening of the trading hours. Such orders will be queued on a first come first serve basis.

  • What type of orders am I able to place?

Order Types

Description

Day market buy or
sell orders

· Order is valid only for the current trading session during which a target execution price has not been set by you.

· Such orders will then be executed at the then prevailing market price at the point of execution.

· All Market Buy Orders placed on Online Trading factor a 15% buffer from the last done price (based on your price feed subscription) in the Purchasing Power checks performed upon order placement, these include fees and other charges where applicable. Please note that post Purchasing Power checks, orders will be rejected should there be insufficient funds in your Settlement Account.

The settlement of trades will be based on the actual transacted price and will include fees and charges where applicable. In volatile markets, where the actual transacted price is beyond 15% from the last done price at the point of order placement, customers are reminded top up the shortfall amounts in your corresponding settlement account on/before settlement date.

Day limit buy orders

· Order is valid only for the current trading session during which a target (limit) execution price has been pre-set by you.

· Such orders are valid up to the limit execution price.

Day limit sell orders

· Order is valid only for the current trading session during which a target (minimum) execution price has been pre-set by you.

· Such orders are valid when the minimum execution price is reached.

Next day orders

· Orders which you place that are valid for the next day trading session.

Stop loss sell orders

· This allows you to set the maximum tolerable loss by setting a stop loss price trigger and a lowest selling price.

· Your order is valid only after the prevailing market price falls below the pre-set stop loss price trigger.

· Once triggered, a stop loss sell order effectively becomes a day limit sell order, with the sell limit price at the lowest selling price set by you.

· Should you place a separate sell limit / market order, please note that your holdings will be blocked accordingly and could have an impact on your Stop Loss order.

Good Till Date orders

· This allows you to set the period of time where your order will be valid for execution in the market.

Morning At-Auction Limit Order

· An at-auction limit order is an order with a specified price that will be matched in price and time priority at the final Indicative Equilibrium Price* (IEP).

· If an IEP cannot be determined during the Closing Auction Session, the Reference Price will serve as the price for matching.

· Any outstanding at-auction limit orders at the end of the Pre-opening Session will be carried forward to the Continuous Trading Session and treated as limit orders provided that the specified price of that at-auction limit order does not deviate 9 times or more from the nominal price.

*Price at which the maximum number of shares can be traded if matching occurs, determined by the Hong Kong SE.

*With effect from 28th May 2024, if you have any unsettled US market sell orders, placement/amendments/cancellation of USD orders will not be possible from 12-1pm SGT. We apologise for any inconvenience and recommend submitting any order changes after 1pm SGT.

  • What is “Limit Price”?

    For a "Sell" order, the "Limit price" is the lowest price that you are prepared to sell your securities. For a "Buy" order, the "Limit price" the highest price you are prepared to buy the securities.

  • What is “Stop Loss Limit Price”?

    This is the trigger price for your sell order to be sent to the market for queuing/execution.

  • What is “GTD”?

    GTD stands for “Good Till Date”, which is a period of time where your order will be valid for execution in the market. Once the GTD period is over, any unfilled orders will expire. The maximum GTD period is 14 calendar days.

  • What should I take note of for Stop Loss Orders or GTD orders?

    Stop Loss Orders

    Once the current price of the stock drops to or below your pre-set stop loss price, your Stop Loss order(s) will be triggered and placed to market as limit order for execution. The executed price may be better than, or equal to your limit price. The Stop Loss order(s) will not be executed at the price below the specified limit price.

    We do not guarantee that Stop Loss order(s) can be executed or partially executed. If the above Stop Loss order(s) is not executed during the good-till period, it will lapse after market closes on the good-till date

    If the above Stop Loss order(s) is valid for more than 1 trading day and it is not triggered, cancelled, or rejected on a trading day during the good-till period, it will be automatically carried forward to the next trading day, until the end of the good-till period. Once triggered, the order will lapse at the end of that trading date and will not be carried forward to next trading day regardless of whether the order is executed fully or not.

    Stop Loss order(s) can be cancelled but not amended. The executed part of the Stop Loss order cannot be cancelled, while only the outstanding part of the Stop Loss order can be cancelled before market closes on the trading day on which the executed part of the order is executed.

    GTD orders

    The GTD order will remain and be carried forward in the system over a period until:

    • the GTD order is fully executed;
    • the GTD order is withdrawn or cancelled; or
    • the GTD order is rejected.

    The GTD order will be cancelled automatically and permanently when any of the following events occur:

    • the contract value of your GTD order exceeds the available balance at any point during the validity of GTD order;
    • the share balance is insufficient for your GTD sell order at any point during the validity of GTD order;
    • the specific counter in relation to your GTD order is suspended from trading;
    • the price in relation to your GTD order is outside the range of price limit; or
    • at the end of last business day upon the expiry date.

    GTD orders may not be performed due to fluctuation in stock price, inadequate market liquidity, system failure and any event beyond our control. The order may be fully executed, partially executed, unexecuted or even rejected.

    GTD order(s) will not be checked and rejected by system for any corporate actions (including but not limited to Right Issue, Stock Split, Reverse Stock Split etc) announced during the validity period of the GTD order(s). Therefore, you MUST monitor corporate actions for your GTD order(s) and cancel or modify the order(s) if required, as corporate actions normally involve change of price and/or quantity.

    GTD buy order(s) requires cash up front and you must ensure that there is sufficient cash, whereas the GTD sell order(s) in designated counter will be rejected in the event there are no available balance of the shares.

  • Will my orders be sent to the Bank instantly once I have keyed my orders into the system?

    Yes. Once your orders are submitted, they will be sent to the Bank instantly.

  • How do I know the Bank has received my orders? How do I check the status of my trades?

    After you have entered and confirmed the order/instruction details, an Order Acknowledgement Screen with an Order Reference Number will be displayed. This means that the Bank has successfully received your orders, but it does not guarantee that your orders will be executed nor executed in a timely manner in the market. The Bank will process your orders on a commercially reasonable basis. Your orders may NOT be executed due to fluctuations in stock price, insufficient market liquidity, system failure or any other events beyond the control of the Bank. It is a good practice and your responsibility to check your order status through the “Order” tab on the Online Trading Platform.

  • Why did my limit order not get executed even though the limit price matches live price?

    1. Available Bid/Ask orders in the exchange does not match your limit price.
    Last done price in the market was executed within your limit price but potentially it was the last Bid/Ask trade order within your limit price. There are no other available Bid/Ask orders in the exchange that match your order (Quantity & Price).

    2. Queue of your trade order.
    Your trade order will be executed based on its position in the trade queue as they are handled on a ‘first-come first-serve’ basis. If your order is queued way back, it may not be executed as there are not enough matching trade orders on the exchange.

  • How do I ensure the Bank will process my orders which are not yet done? What happens to my orders if they are not done by the end of trading day?

    The Bank will process your orders as long as they are valid. Orders remain valid until they are cancelled by you or have expired by the end of the trading day.

  • Can I sell the stock I buy today?

    You can sell the stock before settlement date as long as you have sufficient quantities in your securities holdings.

  • Can I amend or cancel an order?

    You can make amendments to the order quantity, price and order type. Order amendments or cancellations made during trading hours will be handled on the same trading day upon receipt of instructions provided that the order has not been fully executed or cancelled. For partially executed orders, amendments or cancellations will apply to the unfilled order only.

    Please note that before an amendment request has been duly processed, we cannot entertain further amendments on the same order. Once a cancellation instruction is placed, you cannot withdraw your cancellation instruction or make further amendments to the same order. Acceptance of any amendments is subjected to acceptance from the respective exchanges.

  • Do I need to open an account with Central Depository (S) Pte Ltd (‘CDP’) in order to perform trades on the Online Trading platform?

    No, you do not need to have a CDP account.

  • Does Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited provide the option of trading using my Central Provident Fund (CPF) or Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) funds?

    No, unfortunately we do not offer such option at this point of time.

  • Can I place an order without sufficient funds in the relevant Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account?

    No. The Online Trading system does not allow buy trades to be placed if there are insufficient funds in the relevant Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account.

  • What does "Available Purchasing Power" mean? Will there be any adjustment of hold fund after the order is executed?

    Available Purchasing Power is the available funds you can use to purchase securities. Calculation of Purchasing Power takes into account the available cash balances, monies earmarked for trades pending settlement or orders placed (with provisions for price fluctuations) and relevant fees or charges amongst others. Purchasing Power is system generated and the figure(s) is indicative. The pre–requisites for trading are sufficient purchasing power and securities holdings. Hence you cannot place buy orders without sufficient funds, or place sell orders when you do not have sufficient securities. On the trade date, your fund holdings will be adjusted according to the actual debit amount. The exact amount will be debited from settlement account on settlement date which is typically 2 days after trade date for most exchanges.

    Please refer to the ‘Fees and Settlements’ segment below for the settlement dates of the different exchanges.

  • Can I trade Over-the-Counter (OTC) stocks listed in the US?

    We do not allow buying of OTC stocks on the Online Trading Platform. You may sell existing holdings of OTC stocks through the Online Trading Platform. Please note that Stop Loss orders & GTD orders are not available for OTC stock markets. You may also contact us at 1800 242 5333 (+65 6242 5333 for overseas) to place a trade through our dealers. Dealer assisted rates will apply, which will be higher than the Online rates.

  • Will I receive any trade notification after my orders are executed?

    You will receive SMS, Email and/or in-app notifications when your order is partially or fully executed. Please ensure that you provide your up-to-date mobile number and email address to ensure that you receive all trade notifications. Please note that for joint-name accounts, only the Primary Account Holder will be notified of the order confirmation.

    To configure your alert settings (Note that we do not send SMS notifications for Price and News Alerts):

    • Click on the “Settings” icon on the top right of the Online Trading Page
    • Select “Account Settings”

You may contact us at 1800 242 5333 (+65 6242 5333 for overseas) to place a trade through our dealers. Dealer assisted rates will apply, which will be higher than the Online rates.

  • Are there periods when my shares will not be available for trading?

    Certain corporate action events (for example, stock splits and reverse stock splits) require customers' investment holdings to be adjusted to reflect the correct post-corporate action quantities. This enables customers to trade based on the correct quantities of that shareholding. During this period of adjustment, customers will not be able to enter orders for the affected shares over our Online Trading platform but may do so by calling our Online Trading Hotline at 1800 242 5333 (+65 6242 5333 for overseas). Please note that the orders will be based on the adjusted post-corporate action quantities.

  • Why do I face order rejection due to order quantity above Average Daily Volume (ADV)?

    Please be informed that our broker has enhanced their risk management policy to prevent market manipulation. Orders placed on SGX-listed securities on the SC Online Trading platform with order quantities above 60% of the respective counter's ADV over the last 5 trading days are not permitted.

    Should you face this issue, you are advised to decrease their order quantities to successfully place the orders.

    If you continue to face order rejections due to the ADV limit when attempting to place Sell orders at the current market price, please call our help desk at 1800 242 5333, (+65 6242 5333 for overseas) for assistance.

  • Can I convert a counter into its fungible equivalent on another exchange?

    We do not offer cross border exchanges and therefore are unable to convert the counter into its fungible equivalents on another exchange. Should there be a conversion mandated by the issuer, the conversion would be processed accordingly.

Fees and Settlement
  • Are there any charges for the application of the Online Trading account?

    No, there are no charges for the application of the Online Trading Account.

  • What are the trading charges and custody fees?

    Please refer to the Pricing Guide for details of trading charges for the respective exchanges as well as the respective exchange charges.

  • When do I get paid for the securities that I sold?

    You will be paid on settlement date; however, your purchasing power is adjusted once your Sell trade is filled.

  • What are the settlement dates across the different exchanges?

    Yes, you may not be able to place trades on a counter that has an ongoing Corporate Action event from the effective date until processing of the event is completed.

  • Will I be notified of a corporate action event related to my securities held with SC Online Trading?

    With effect from 6 September 2021, primary account holders to SC Online Trading accounts will be notified by SMS and email on corporate actions related to all securities held in their SC Online Trading accounts.

    Primary account holders to SC Online Trading accounts will be notified by SMS and email related to all securities held in their SC Online Trading accounts.

    Please ensure that your mobile number, email address, and mailing address, registered with the bank are updated accordingly. Note that not all mandatory corporate action events, where your instructions are not required for participation, will be notified to you.

  • Why am I receiving updates to corporate action events with response deadlines that have already passed?

    With effect from 3 September 2020, when the Bank acts as your custodian of shares issued by EU companies that are listed in the EU (“EU Companies”) and in compliance with the Shareholders Rights Directive II (“SRD II”), the Bank will notify you of all corporate action events, including updates to corporate action events related to your securities in EU Companies held in your SC Online Trading Account, regardless of whether the response deadlines to the corporate action event, have passed or not.

  • What is SRD II?

    The Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II) is a regulation of the European Union that applies to the Bank when it acts as your custodian of shares of companies which have their registered office in a Member State of the European Union (EU) and whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EU (“EU Companies”).

  • What is the objective of SRD II?

    The aim of SRD II is to strengthen shareholders’ long-term engagement with EU Companies, through the implementation of new obligations to increase transparency in the voting process and shareholder identification.

  • How does SRDII impact me?

    Corporate Action Notifications

    The Bank will notify you of general meetings held by EU Companies, to facilitate the exercise of rights accorded to shareholders, including the right to participate and vote in general meetings. The Bank will also notify you of all other corporate action events of a financial nature, including mandatory corporate action events that do not require your instructions for participation. Note that notifications will be sent by email. Please be reminded to update us should there be any changes to your contact details, including but not limited to, email addresses, mobile phone numbers, and mailing addresses.

    Shareholder Identification

    SRD II mandates disclosure of specific identifications based on your Nationality. Please note that the Bank will require you to provide us with specific identifications based on your Nationality, in order to trade securities in EU companies on your Standard Chartered Online Trading Account(s). Failure to register the specific identifications with the Bank may result in suspension of trades placed on securities in EU companies via Standard Chartered Online Trading.

    EU Companies will have the right to request the identity of their shareholders holding above a certain threshold (which shall be specified in the national law of the relevant EU Company’s country of incorporation) of shares or voting rights. The Bank will therefore be required to disclose your details, including but not limited to, your name, and identification number, to EU Companies who have raised this request. You will not be able to opt out from a shareholder identification request.

    Please refer to page 13 of the Corporate Actions Portal Guide for more information.

  • There was a corporate action event involving my shareholdings being divided by a specific ratio. Where applicable, can I receive fractional shares?

    Fractional shares are share entitlements which are less than the minimum share size (1 share).

    Issuers generally issue shares in whole numbers. If the Issuer does not issue fractional shares, the Bank will not be able to credit you with any such fractional shares. The Issuer may round down any fractional share entitlements to the nearest 1 share, and upon receipt, the Bank will credit these shares into your SC Online Trading account.

    Please note that your instructions for share entitlements arising from corporate action events will be aggregated with other clients’ share entitlements when the Bank deals with the Issuer. When the Bank receives whole shares as a result of an aggregation of fractional share entitlements, the Bank will distribute the monetary value of the whole shares received, based on either the reinvestment price, or the prevailing market price, proportionately to eligible clients.

    Similarly, when the Bank receives cash-in-lieu of your fractional share entitlements, the Bank will distribute it proportionately to eligible clients. The cash-in-lieu you receive may not be equal to the reinvestment price of the fractional share entitlements. Please also note that Issuers may not issue cash-in-lieu in relation to fractional share entitlements, and in this scenario, the Bank will therefore not be able to issue you cash-in-lieu of your fractional share entitlements.

  • There was an announcement of the delisting of shares of company X. Why has this happened?

    The Bank is unable to comment on the delisting of shares of company X, as shares may be delisted from a stock exchange for reasons that are beyond the control of the Bank.

  • I have yet to receive the cash and/or shares resulting from a corporate action event, although the market pay date has already passed. Why is this the case?

    Due to our nominee structure, the cash and/or shares resulting from a corporate action event will only be credited into your Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account and/or SC Online Trading account, respectively, after receipt of the resultant cash and/or shares from our custodian. Thus, you will only be able to utilize the resultant cash, and sell the resultant shares, after the the cash / shares have been credited into your Securities Settlement Account / Wealth Cash Account and SC Online Trading account, respectively.

  • Can I still sell shares that have been delisted?

    Shares that are delisted from a particular exchange can no longer be traded (i.e. Buy/Sell transactions cannot be put through) on that exchange by any party. There are instances (1) where the delisting is temporary, and the shares will be relisted on another exchange or (2) where the shares are listed on more than one exchange. Under such instances, we can exceptionally submit a request to check whether the delisted shares can be transferred to the other exchange for trading, but this is subject to our discretion.

    If the shares are completely delisted (i.e. no longer trading on any exchange), physical share certificates may be issued to the shareholders, subject to the discretion of the company and share registrar. You may request for us to perform a re-registration of the shares in your name, but this is also subject to the discretion of the company and share register. The re-registration will incur charges that you must bear should you decide to proceed with the re-registration.

    We, however, regret that we will not be able to support trading of the physical share certificates once the re-registration is completed.

    Other than the above, you may also have the option of transferring your shares to another broker, subject to the discretion of the company, share registrar, and the other broker. Charges will apply for the transfer.

  • Do we handle the conversion of physical certificates shares to scriptless?

    We do not handle the conversion of physical share certificates to scriptless and we do not accept share transfers in physical certificates form.

  • There was a corporate action event that involves an adjustment to my shareholdings. Why have my shareholdings not been adjusted?

    Due to our nominee structure, adjustment to your shareholdings related to a corporate action event, including but not limited to, reverse stock splits and stock splits, will only be performed upon receipt of confirmation from our custodian. If you end up in a short sell position, as a result of insufficient shareholdings for your sell order in the event there was a delay in updating your shareholdings following a corporate action event, we reserve the right to adjust your holdings and perform a buy-back on your behalf. Please refer to

    Clause 1.4.8 of our Investment Product Terms.

Custody Arrangement
  • Can I transfer shares from my other brokers to Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited?

    Yes. You may transfer foreign shares by filling in the Share Transfer Form which can be found on the Online Trading Platform. Please note that there may be third party fees or charges involved with respect to such transfers. With regards to SGX transfer inwards shares, you will have to fill in the CDP 4.2 form (You will be prompted to print, fill in CDP 4.2 form, and send via mail at the final stage of the shares transfer form).

    To access the Share Transfer Form:

    • Click on the “Settings” icon on the top right of the Online Trading Platform
    • Click on “Share Transfer Form” and fill in your details accordingly.

*Valid W8-Ben & CAR will be required for share transfer requests.

  • Are there fees associated with share transfers?

    Yes, you may refer to the Pricing Guide on the relevant share transfer fees.

  • How long will it take for my share transfer to be completed?

    All share transfers may take up to 14 working days to be completed (if all necessary documentation is accurate and complete). As share transfers involve other brokers, please liaise with your other broker to obtain the necessary documentation that is required to be submitted by them at their end. We may help to facilitate this on a commercially reasonable basis, but we bear no responsibility to provide any external party forms or for the accuracy of any information obtained from an external party. Please note that transfers of securities must be carried out and settled, in the respective Central Securities Depositories in which we hold securities.

  • How would the securities purchased by me through the Online Trading platform be held?

    Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited (The “Bank”) acts as a custodian in respect of the securities purchased through the Online Trading platform, as well as for securities transferred to the Bank by the clients for the purpose of consolidating their securities holding with the Bank. In doing so, the Bank is providing safe custody service on terms set out in the Investment Product Terms.

    These securities are held on trust by the Bank or its nominee. The clients are the beneficial owners of these securities. In the unlikely event that the Bank becomes insolvent, such securities held on trust are not subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors. This is because the securities are held on trust by the Bank or its nominee as custodian and are kept separate from the Bank’s own assets.

    For more information, please refer to the Investment Product Terms.

  • What would happen if the Bank ceases offering of the Online Trading platform?

    Should the Bank decide to cease the offering of the Online Trading platform, the Bank will, at every client’s option, deliver the Documents of Title of the securities in its custody back to the client, or transfer them to a bank or agent of client’s choice.

    The delivery or transfer will be done in an orderly manner and in accordance with the banking agreement (which includes the Investment Product Terms) entered with the clients. The Bank’s staff would also be available to assist in the process.

    Nonetheless, the above is a very unlikely scenario as the Bank has no intention of ceasing the offering of the Online Trading platform.

    For more information, please refer to Part E of the Investment Product Terms, which outlines the process for the termination by either party of the safe custody service.

  • Can I transfer SGX-listed securities held in custody by the Bank to my securities account with the Central Depository (Pte) Ltd (CDP)?

    Yes. Clients are able to transfer their SGX securities held in custody by the Bank to their securities accounts held directly with CDP. There are third party fees or charges involved with respect to such transfers, which shall be borne by the clients. However, after the transfer is completed, the transferred shares will not be available for trading on the Online Trading platform.

  • What are some restrictions applied to share transfers that I should make note of?

    We are unable to process transfers of the following securities into your Online Trading account. Note that this list is not exhaustive and subject to changes at the Bank’s discretion at any time and without prior notice: 

    • Delisted or suspended securities
    • Shares in certificate form
    • Warrants
    • US-listed OTC securities
    • Shares subject to regulatory and compliance restrictions, including restricted securities as per the Bank’s internal policies
    • Shares listed on exchanges that are not accessible via the Online Trading platform

However, tax treatment differs between jurisdictions. Please seek independent tax advice or refer to the website of the relevant jurisdiction’s tax authority for further details.

  • I am a resident of a country that has a tax treaty with the country that has withheld the tax. Why was the maximum withholding tax rate still applied in my case?

    The rate at which we withhold tax on your investments depends on the tax rate specified by the relevant tax authority. If you form the view that a preferential rate applies to your investments held with or placed through us, you should contact the relevant tax authority or engage a tax agent to seek a refund. We do not provide any tax advisory services or tax reclaim services.

  • Can Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited help me with my tax reclaim?

    Submission of the W8-BEN form/ W-8BEN-E form does not exempt you from the US withholding tax imposed on dividends. This means that dividend payments are always subjected to and net of withholding tax when credited to your account.
