FAQs

1. After making a deposit (not in USD), does the system automatically convert the funds into USD?

→  Tiger Trade App does not do the currency exchange automatically. The base currency in Tiger is USD, so the currency displayed is USD. The client may view the actual cash amount via App > Portfolio > Account > Cash. For example, if a client deposits AUD and intends to trade US stocks with Tiger, he needs to exchange the currency: App > Portfolio> Account > Cash > Exchange.

2. Can Tiger Account hold funds in multiple currencies at the same time?

→  Yes.
