Onboarding Friction for Asian Market Access

asked by u/lucia.weber · 15d · 1 answers

Anyone else finding the KYB process for new accounts with brokers offering significant Asian market access, especially for local equities like SET, becoming increasingly cumbersome? It seems like every new provider has a slightly different set of hoops, often involving physical document verification or notarized copies that eat into setup time. The additional friction isn't just about compliance; it genuinely impacts rapid deployment of new strategies or diversification. It also feels like some of the requirements are not uniform across the board, even for the same jurisdictions.

    Definitely feel your pain on this. The varying requirements between brokers, even for similar markets, can be a real time sink. Have you found any particular providers that handle the KYB for Asian markets more smoothly than others, or is it universally a bit of a headache?
