When does StashAway bill me for the fees?

At StashAway, we know that high fees significantly reduce investment returns. That's why we leverage advanced technology to lower our costs of serving you. In turn, we offer these savings back to you as lower fees. 
Our technology automates repeated tasks to create sophisticated reporting to monitor investment performance. With traditional advisors, customers are paying for the inefficiencies of the wealth management industry, and that shouldn’t be the case! We know that if you do well, we'll do well too.

Will prices always remain at these low levels?

StashAway does not charge any fees for transferring money in or out of an account.
If you choose to deposit/withdraw in RM, there will be a 0.1% currency conversion charge by Citibank Malaysia. This fee is embedded in the FX rate.
If you'd like to deposit/withdraw in other currencies, our commercial banker will charge 0.1% to convert your foreign currency into RM. An additional currency conversion charge of 0.1% will then be charged to convert your RM into USD.

Are there fees for transferring money in or out of the account?

Stashaway does not charge any fee for withdrawal and you should be able to access it easily. However, our vendor charges a currency conversion fee of 0.1% on top of the transaction amount to convert USD/GBP to MYR.
Kindly also note that the withdrawal can only be made to a local Malaysian bank account that is under your name.

Do you charge a fee if I withdraw funds from my StashAway account?

If you have investments on our platform, you will be charged the appropriate fees, regardless of whether or not you sign in. We designed it this way so that you can spend more time doing what you love and less time worrying about your investments.

Am I still charged a fee even if I don’t log in often?

Please note that ETFs charge, on average, an expense ratio of 0.15%-0.25%. This is charged over the course of the year in the form of adjustments to the Net Asset Value.
 
This is not an actual cash flow borne by you. It is offset by the ETF funds before distributing the returns back to you. This expense ratio is incurred regardless of what platform you use to purchase ETFs.
