Nobody deny providing legal info (personal) such as SSN and address, including me. I agree those are for possible accident in margin account, similar requirement for opening credit card account. That is true for most states and countries. However someone deny/dislike to show "certain detail"...

I have experience to transfer 50K from BAC to IBKR with no problem via ACH. (Absolutely without phone) It is free while wire cost some fee.

Of course I should give address in case I owe money to brokers for loan. Possible Lawsuit requires address in the court. NO OBJECTION at all. If I were chair of IB, then I may say "No address no customer".

Of course I will leave Etrade if they ask me phone too.

I am serious if broker asks me "No cell, no customer any more", then I leave. The same is true for bank+insurance+others+... . PS) I doubt that email and phone(text) is valid for OFFICIAL LEGAL NOTIFICATION. Tell me if there is different opinion.

It is the law to keep name and address for long time (at least 100 years) inside broker's file. No one argues it. It is the duty of customer for receiving paper mail. Any court judge will think like me. However, I may fly abroad frequently so that I cannot receive any phone signal. I guess it...

Since the above link requiring phone for the amount >=1M, I am not going to send >=1M to IB account.

No problem if IB ask me ONE of passcode OR security card(OTP). Those are minimum requirements I understand.

If IB ask me personal info like phone seriously, I can leave soon. If IB offer me phone with FREE brokerage, then I still leave too.

I agree that we should use passcode or OTP at least for identification. If you mean that one should choose ONE of passcode+OTP+cellphone, then no problem at all. However note that fingerprint (at the photo) may not be a good idea.

Since NYSE shows highest top last months, it might be a best time to leave market after cashing all equities. We may no see the index of 21000 any more next 10 years. Asking phone may result to customer leaving forever.

Dear- Attached is the photo asking iphone/Android for IB login. 1) Probably customer should leave IB, in case he does NOT use cell. Is it true? 2) Possibly he does not want to release phone number for his phone, even if he uses phone. 3) If other brokers in US asks phone number together, he...

Agreed. Unlike 20 years ago, equal opportunity to every human, for internet.

20 years, as long as internet connection costs a lot, I never and ever use big money for connection. I just mean that with nominal fee such as at Starbucks at the most, we can use internet anywhere in city so that we are free to trade anywhere. Specifically, roughly 20 to 30 bucks a month is...

Tell me if there exists more significant tool than internet.

Even 20 years ago where there was NO internet/WiFi, no one imagined it. Over the last 2000 years, internet was the significant tool to human, I think.

If the above broker charge cheaper brokerage than IB (for example) for the amount, then there will be some customer. For example, if the broker asks monthly min of 10K for brokerage, with $0.1 for 100 share, then there must be SOME CUSTOMER. Furthermore, if some broker asks FIXED 10K every...

May I ask you some favor? If you have a chance, can you find the brokerage and tax system of cheap SG brokers (like IB) since this is trading forum. For example, some Asia country charge $30 for tax and $3 for brokerage on each $10K BUY/SELL. Thanks in advance. -Jay

Of course, some (not all) has table with power. Furthermore, for the EST at NYSE, 1) if you live in LA, you can play golf afternoon everyday. 2) if you live in Paris or Singapore, you can enjoy life other than trading too. Some country ask little tax rate, compared with US 1040.

For the case of the above how do they use internet, WiFi or cellular signal?
