Kasikorn Securities Public Company Limited provides local securities accounts and an overseas-investment service with different banking and trading arrangements. A prefunded cash-balance investor, an ATS cash-account investor and a margin borrower do not face the same commission or collateral requirements. Overseas trading adds currency conversion, market minimums and a separate cash-remittance process.[1][3][4][7]

Adviser-only or alternative regional routes
| Market | Commission / minimum | Settlement currency |
|---|---|---|
| Indonesia | 0.25%; IDR450,000 | SGDSource 5 |
| Malaysia | 0.25%; MYR60 | SGDSource 5 |
| Philippines | 0.50%; PHP2,000 | SGDSource 5 |

| Taiwan, alternative adviser route | 0.25%; TWD1,000 | SGDSource 5 |

The overseas commission schedule excludes a 0.001% regulatory fee and 7% VAT. Market taxes, settlement and custody charges can add further cost. The percentage/minimum and the settlement currency must be read together: the cheaper online South Korean and Taiwanese routes settle in USD, while the alternative adviser rows use SGD.[5]

Selected overseas ongoing and market costs
| Market | Published additional component |
|---|---|
| South Korea, online route | 0.06% annual custody; 0.20% combined sale taxes in the updated rowSource 5 |
| Taiwan, online route | 0.06% annual custody and 0.30% sale taxSource 5 |
| Hong Kong | 0.10% stamp duty plus the stated SFC/FRC and trading leviesSource 5 |
| Singapore | 0.0325% ordinary clearing plus 0.0075% access fee; options/warrants use a separate clearing ruleSource 5 |
The PDF contains legacy settlement and tax entries in some other rows. Treat the market’s current contract note and latest tariff as decisive, particularly for adviser-only routes. A commission minimum also means that splitting one investment into several small orders can materially increase its effective cost.[5][4]

| Bank beneficiary | Same account holder; joint/third-party forms excludedSource 9 |
| Same-day receipt selection | Cash is debited immediately under the manualSource 9 |

Cash withdrawal timing in the current manual
| Request or cash category | Published receipt window |
|---|---|
| Existing registered bank beneficiary; cash request before 12:00 | 14:00–16:00 that working daySource 9 |
| New or changed bank beneficiary; cash request before 12:00 | 10:00–12:00 on the next working daySource 9 |
| Cash including unsettled sale/redemption proceeds | Follows the applicable settlement/redemption and selected-date rowsSource 9 |
| Credit-balance-related exceptional cases | The manual specifies two working days for the described advance/change-of-bank casesSource 9 |
The available amount matters more than the portfolio’s total market value. The same-day cash row does not make an unsettled sale or fund redemption immediately withdrawable. Review the request’s status in My Service after submission.[9][8]

Settlement currency can differ from quotation currency

| South Korea / Taiwan online | Tariff specifies USD settlement despite KRW/TWD quotationsSource 7Source 5 |

Returning foreign cash to baht
| Item | Published term |
|---|---|
| When permitted | After settlementSource 7 |
| Estimated receipt | Approximately 2–7 business days, currency and holidays dependentSource 7 |
| Exchange rate | Rate on the day the remittance is received from abroadSource 7 |
| Service fee | THB900 per transaction per currencySource 7 |
| New purchase after withdrawal request | May cause the withdrawal to be cancelledSource 7 |
No separate conversion commission does not mean a zero bid/offer spread. The guide provides no fixed FX spread, and converting a later foreign-cash withdrawal uses a different timing and fee arrangement from buying currency for investment.[7]

SIPF does not cover ordinary market losses. Overseas securities also introduce foreign custody, currency and market-access risks, while a margin account adds the possibility of compulsory liquidation under its financing agreement.[13][7][1]
