Affin Hwang Investment Bank Berhad is the Malaysian brokerage counterparty, rather than a generic AFFIN bank account. Bursa Malaysia lists the firm among participating brokers offering discretionary trading. That separate service must not be confused with eInvest Go: Go is a self-directed cash-upfront arrangement without a dealer’s representative assisting its trades.[5][2]
Accounts and eligibility
Sections ↑Choose the service before applying a price
| Route | Account distinction |
|---|---|
| eInvest Go | Online CDS and trading application; cash-upfront buying power with a 1% haircut, minimum RM50. This is reserved buying capacity, not a brokerage charge.Source 1 |
| Assisted / other trading accounts | The general service has dealer-assisted routes. Their charges and withdrawal arrangements are not automatically the Go tariff.Source 3 |
| Global service | The branded Global platform remains separately identifiable. Domestic Go prices do not establish overseas brokerage or currency charges.Source 4 |
The Go application includes identity questions and bank-account verification. Failed verification can require branch handling; a payment from a spouse or other third party is not a substitute for the applicant’s own-name payment. A failed application and an already-open trading account are different cases, so the refund or correction procedure depends on the stage reached.[2]
Products and market access
Sections ↑The scope evidenced here is securities brokerage centred on Bursa Malaysia, with separate international and assisted services. Bursa’s discretionary-trading list concerns a particular permission and service: its separate Shariah-discretionary column is not a definitive list of every Islamic product a firm may offer. The account agreement must identify whether instructions remain with the customer or have been delegated.[5][4]
Brokerage, reserves and other charges
Sections ↑Published Go brokerage examples
| Trade value | Brokerage basis |
|---|---|
| Below RM10,000 | RM5 in the advertised lower band; the page’s exact upper-bound wording is not completely consistent at the boundary.Source 1 |
| RM10,000–RM99,999.99 | 0.08% of trade value.Source 1 |
| RM100,000 and above | 0.05% of trade value.Source 1 |
| Exchange clearing | 0.03%, capped at RM1,000 per contract, according to the Go FAQ; additional statutory charges are separate.Source 2 |
Illustratively, RM50,000 × 0.08% is RM40 brokerage; RM150,000 × 0.05% is RM75. These are single-trade brokerage examples, not tax-inclusive round trips. The cash haircut reduces spending capacity and must not be added as though it were another fee.[1]
The Go FAQ still contains a tax-exemption notice ending in 2025. It is not evidence of a current 2026 waiver. Overseas-market commissions, conversion margins and account-specific assisted charges were not established sufficiently to quote a common all-market price.[2][4]
Platforms and order controls
Sections ↑Documented eInvest order behaviour
| Instruction | What happens |
|---|---|
| Day order | An unmatched day order expires at the end of that trading day.Source 3 |
| Good-till-date | An eligible unmatched order remains until its specified validity date.Source 3 |
| Amendment | Quantity can be reduced; a price change or quantity increase requires cancellation and a new order.Source 3 |
| Telephone dealing | An available dealer route need not carry the internet tariff; it does not establish telephone execution for Go.Source 3 |
Change the temporary trading PIN before trading. A login does not confirm market acceptance of a cancellation or replacement; retain the order reference.[3]
Cash, withdrawals and securities transfers
Sections ↑Cash handling by account
| Action | Published route |
|---|---|
| Go deposit / withdrawal | Use ePayment and eWithdrawal within the account. CDS-detail changes and trading-account-detail changes use different administration routes.Source 2 |
| CMA / CMA-i eWithdrawal | MYR only to a registered ePayment bank account; the FAQ describes next-business-day payment for requests received during the stated daily window.Source 3 |
| Available amount | Subject to available cash, obligations and applicable reserves; derivatives and other account withdrawals can require branch or representative handling.Source 3 |
Moving existing Malaysian securities
| Transfer | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Bursa Anywhere self-transfer | No change of beneficial owner: direct CDS to direct CDS only, not nominee accounts. The originating account must be active.Source 6 |
| Destination status | The receiving direct CDS account may be active or inactive under the published eligibility rule.Source 6 |
| Processing | The authorised depository agent or broker must approve it; Bursa quotes business-day processing hours of 09:00–16:15. It is not an instant cash-payment rail.Source 7 |
An incoming position must use the correct receiving account, while an outgoing instruction needs the existing holding and origin details. The Bursa Anywhere facility described above does not cover every nominee or foreign-market transfer. Its approval requirement should be resolved before treating the securities as available at the receiving broker.[6][7]
Custody, records and account status
Sections ↑Bursa Anywhere provides direct-CDS statements and administration, including certain particulars, eDividend arrangements and reactivation of inactive or dormant CDS accounts. A dormant CDS designation is an account-status issue; it does not by itself establish an investment-bank inactivity fee or the availability of every trading service. Supporting documents and agent approval may be required for changes.[8]
PIDM expressly excludes investment products such as shares and units from deposit insurance. A securities holding and any cash-management arrangement therefore cannot be described as insured simply because the broker is part of a banking group. Protection of a separately eligible bank deposit depends on that product and depositor’s actual eligibility.[9]
Support and complaints
Sections ↑The eInvest helpdesk is +60 3 8230 5555. For a payment or order problem, retain its reference, timestamp and account details.[3]
Take a service complaint to the firm first. FMOS provides independent, free dispute resolution for eligible financial consumers and investors; its published scope includes qualifying investment disputes up to RM250,000. A complaint generally needs to reach FMOS within six months of the member’s final response. Eligibility, subject matter and admissibility still apply—this is not a reimbursement promise for investment losses.[10][11]
Statements and administration
Sections ↑The branded Global service’s notice makes eStatements the default from 3 November 2025. It quotes RM2 per envelope for requested paper contract notes while describing requested monthly paper statements as free. These are document-delivery charges, not brokerage, and should not be silently applied to another account’s statement service.[4]
Company and service boundaries
Sections ↑The investment bank, its particular trading account and Bursa’s CDS infrastructure perform different functions. Before moving an existing portfolio, establish which records the broker maintains and which are administered through Bursa Anywhere. The evidence here supports these named routes; it does not establish that every AFFIN banking customer automatically has a securities, derivatives or international account.[5][8]
