TNG Digital and Webull Securities (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd launched global share trading on 30 September inside GOfinance, the financial services section of TNG eWallet, giving eligible users access to US, Hong Kong and China A-share markets.
Webull isn’t new to Malaysia. It started here in May 2024 with its own app. What’s new is that you can open a Webull trading account inside GOfinance and fund it straight from your eWallet balance. Webull holds a Capital Markets Services Licence from the Securities Commission Malaysia, so your shares are held through a licensed stockbroker.
Search for “Webull” in the TNG eWallet app, agree to share your details, set a password and fill in the form. Approval usually takes one to three business days, though Webull says it can come through on the same day if nothing’s missing from your application.
Once you’re approved, you can trade eligible US stocks 24 hours a day on weekdays. Fewer people trade outside regular US market hours, so prices can move more sharply overnight.
US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which let you buy shares in many companies at once, are commission-free for the first year. There’s no platform fee in any market.
| Market | First Year | After That |
| US stocks and ETFs | USD0 | 0.025% (minimum USD0.99) |
| Hong Kong shares and China A-shares | 0.03% (minimum HK$12 or CNH12) | 0.03% (minimum HK$12 or CNH12) |
Regulatory and exchange fees may also apply in every market.
The fee that doesn’t show up in the table is currency conversion. Your ringgit has to become US dollars, Hong Kong dollars or Yuan before you buy, and turn back into ringgit when you sell and withdraw. Before you convert, compare the rate Webull offers against the rate you see when you search “USD to MYR” on Google. The difference is the extra you pay.
The US takes 30% of dividends paid to Malaysian investors because there’s no tax treaty between the two countries. A USD10 dividend reaches your account as USD7.
To mark the launch, eligible users who access Webull through GOfinance can get a small part of one Apple share, worth RM30, subject to campaign terms and conditions. You’ll need to deposit at least RM200 into your trading account and keep it there for at least 30 days.
On the minimum RM200, that’s a 15% return for leaving your money in the account for a month. The reward comes as shares, so it’s RM30 on the day you receive it and moves with Apple’s share price after that.
Webull Malaysia CEO Kenneth Chan said the TNG route is meant for first-time investors, and that experienced investors are encouraged to use the Webull app for its more advanced features. If you’re new to shares, GOfinance lets you start with a trade as small as USD1 (about RM4) without learning a new app.
Shares can fall below what you paid, and a stronger ringgit can shrink your returns when you convert back, even if the share price has gone up. Only put money into shares that you won’t need for the next few years.
If you already have a Webull account, check whether you can link it to GOfinance before opening a new one. If you’re still deciding which platform to use, you can compare fees and features across brokers on RinggitPlus’ online share trading page.
