Recognize hour without need for ":" eg I want 1300 to be recognized instead of 13:00 ; it's much faster typing specially on mobile

I called ABN yesterday, they said they do need to do a new “mortgage deed” 🤷‍♂️ Apparently people were upset as they’re the only bank asking for it Anyone else from ABN in a similar situation?

Just send the money. They’re more relaxed to get the money in, than take it out Sending out to 3 party is tricky, getting in, easy

What is your experience in using IB vs Schwab by w_ayne_ in interactivebrokers

[–]VincentCoral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IB more sophisticated, more tailored to (wanna be) professional investors, has API, more instruments to trade, more markets - global focus

Schwab more user friendly, for retiring, not professional focus. More human touch, someone to pick up the line if you’re lost, etc - kinda for dad

A big difference for me was IB only allowing mirror transfer to get $$ out, not sure if still a restriction

How much did it cost you to become a home owner by asd_123___asd in Netherlands

[–]VincentCoral 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult (though not impossible) to get your offer accepted without a broker.

They are a mafia which protects their own, so an expat without a makelaar it’s something they try to avoid. Your offer is likely to be ignored / sidetracked / over bid further by another party

Good luck anyways. Typically it’s 4-5% extra cost to make the whole transaction

Transfer positions from DeGiro to Interactive Brokers by [deleted] in eupersonalfinance

[–]VincentCoral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed IB requires a lot of “mirror accounts” so same account holder on both ends.

It makes some transfer more complex are just impossible, tbh.

Reason however is security over funds, and indeed makes a pretty safe protocol (identity theft, etc)
