FAQ
What is the ownership structure of my US Holdings or USD Cash?
You are the beneficial owner of any US holdings with SelfWealth which will be held in custody with Phillip Securities Pte Ltd. Your cash will be held in a Phillip Capital Trust account with Standard Chartered. SelfWealth has no beneficial ownership or right to either your holdings or cash.
@blighst: Yeah it's not a transfer service for paying other people. But you send it to a transferwise account in your name.
