Any recommendations for online brokers (or banks) to buy stock S&P500?

[Fiskebolle]

Hi Fellow AN members,

 

Anyone's got some pointers on which broker (or bank) to use to purchase stock on S&P500?

Some banks (KBank etc) also provide this feature, but not sure if there are better /cheaper options to invest (from Thailand) on this particular index?
I tend to believe that with local banks here in Thailand, it's easier to get your money out and less hassle with KYC's as opposed to dealing with other foreign trading platforms when being a resident here in Thailand?

Cheers,

Yep, took about 10 minutes. Used Thai residential address and Thai mobile phone number. Copy of foreign passport from Western country. No problem.

Agreed, best option.
 

SwissQuote In Luxembourg is an option too, but not for American citizens. Saxo in Singapore and Boom in Hong Kong are additional options. These are all international brokers that offer trading in multiple markets.
