Who can clarify on the fees involved when using Standard Chartered Trading?

I am most particular about the fees and commissions for FX conversion, basically the SCB custodian fees. I will appreciate your reply. Thank you.

    No Name

    I just thought to give my little input here. With SCB there are no custodian fees and low brokerage fees while interestingly, SCB can invest in more foreign stocks and not just US stocks, thereby giving you the opportunity to invest in not just the US stocks but a variety of other international stocks. They even offer a much improved user interface compared to a few years back. SCB is really making an effort to compete with other brokerages. Note however that the foreign exchange rate may not be very good.

Poor and upleasant hotline

I am a fresh graduate and just started my first job, I signed up for this card due to the onetime $150 cash back reward for $800 spend within the first two months. However for its main monthly rewards, it is nothing to be pleasant about and the hotline is very bad, I even had to hold more than 20 minutes during non-peak hour.

Looking to maximize on the number of priority pass visits and other privileges

If you are like me an HSBC Premier client and also a frequent traveller that can maximize the number of priority pass visits, limo and meet-and-assist services as well as your supplementary cardholders too, then this is the card for you. The reduced general mile earn rate is worth the trade-off for the unlimited priority pass memberships, as well as the high number of limo and meet-and-assist services that you can use.

Customer care service at top notch

This is my first credit card and I was pleased with the process as the application was absolutely stress free and smooth with customer care service at top notch. I actually felt taken care of and it appeared I could rely on customer care service for virtually any issue. Plus they have a simple tracking system of cashback rewards, with a good App and web UI/UX.
