How to submit transfer-stock application in Tiger
Tiger supports inbound transfer of US, HK, and AU stock positions to Tiger Prime Account from other brokers.
Inbound Transfer Fees: Tiger does not charge any fee for inbound transfer. The delivery broker may charge fees, please check details with them and verify the amount of outbound fees.
Processing Time Frame: It generally takes 3-15 business days, and the specific time is subject to actual conditions, which depends on the outbound time. Tiger will complete the transfer within 1 to 2 business days after receiving the stocks from the counterparty.
NOTE: The fees and related processes for stocks transferred through depository and custodian institutions (such as Transfer Agent) or for large transactions, etc. need to be agreed separately. If you have any needs or questions, please consult your business manager or call our customer service.
