We are very transparent about all the charges on Bamboo. We will always display the calculation of how much this fee comes to, for every transaction you are about to make. This is so that you can confirm before sending off your order. 

Trade Fee

We charge a 1.5% commission when you buy or sell stocks on the U.S. stock markets, with a minimum charge of $1 (This means that if 1.5% of your trade is less than $1, you will be charged $1).

You can hold stocks for as long as you like and you will not be charged for holding stocks or leaving funds in your Bamboo wallet.

Taxes

There is a 30% WHT (Withholding Tax) on dividends only, which is a mandatory tax taken by the U.S. government for individuals buying stock outside of the U.S. This only applies to dividends and does not apply to returns made from selling stocks or from capital appreciation. Want to know what dividends are? Watch this video.

PTP Securities have a 10% tax on the gross sale amount and a 37% withholding tax on dividends. More information about PTP Securities can be found here.
