Let me talk about my own experience. I saw what they advertised on official website, such as Xiaomi strategic investment and Xu Xiaoping platform. I think this institution should be very safe. After all, there is such a famous company endorsement.
Then I transferred my deposit with my local bank account in the United States. Two weeks later, Bao Er Bank of America showed that the transfer had been completed, but Tiger kept showing the status of "deposit" and could not trade.
I asked the customer service several times, and the answer I got every time was "Please consult the remittance bank". Later, the customer service also educated me:
To tell the truth, because I tried Tiger Securities for the first time, I didn't transfer much money, but I think their monitoring process was out of control. If the amount invested is large, the disputed customers basically have no means to trace back or discuss with them (their service staff will only push you back to the remittance bank). After all, they are "New Zealand" companies, unless you sue him locally.
I haven't had the privilege of experiencing gold, and I don't want to experience it. Fortunately, I didn't throw a lot of money at the tiger, otherwise something would really happen.
