Cash Boost Account with CDP linkage. What's the big deal?

Hey Tigers,

By now you should have heard of the latest feature introduced to our Cash Boost Account!

Yes, we are referring to CDP linkage now made available on Cash Boost Account.

What's Cash Boost Account?

In case you haven't realised, you can now do contra trading on the Tiger Trade APP via our Cash Boost Account.

Contra trading is a method where investors buy or sell securities not with the intention of settlement. Without the need to deposit capital in advance, you can trade within the limit. Profits can be withdrawn within the specified time if gains are made; if there is a loss, the amount lost must be deposited.

Confused? Let's break it down for you.

Assuming you spot an investment opportunity today, but you're not able to exercise your existing funds to make that investment purchase. Traditionally, you may have to sit out on this investment chance.

With Cash Boost Account, you'll receive a trading limit of SGD 20,000 (upon account approval), which you'll be able to use to make trades on stocks/ETFs in SG/HK/US markets! In CBA, stocks you've purchased on T+0 can be sold anytime before OR on the Force Selling Date.

If the difference is positive, you can keep it as a profit! If you make a loss, you'll need to make the payment into your CBA.

In short, you can now Trade Now, Settle Later!
