Mexem/IG

Is anyone using Mexem?
I came across their site when researching more to see if I could open an Interactive Brokers account.

Can we open IB accounts in SA?

thanks

Yes, you can open an IB account from SA (don't bother with using Mexem, there is no advantage). Takes about 4-5 working days.

Do you use your credit card, Paypal, or anything similar?

SWIFT payment via FNB, or Exchange4Free, depending on the amount.

Saw a video on youtube where the guy uses Shyft as well.

Have you withdrawn from IB as yet ? How does it work, if you have?

Not to an SA account, but to one in the Isle of Man - no problem.

Been using Mexem for a few years. No issues. You can also open an account directly with IB, no difference really.

I fund using Shyft.

I haven't withdrawn to an SA bank account yet, but seems quite straightforward on the platform.
