NZ brokers for US stocks

[Entrep]

I used ASB once, think it cost $80NZD for the trade

I use InteractiveBrokers now, about US$10 per trade.

A lot of the US brokerages that service international clients stopped servicing NZ customers (etrade, charles schwab). I guess we are too small

Another option is TD Ameritrade, I use them and found them ok to set up from NZ.

just curious, how does one fund the IB trading account? just a Forex transfer from NZ to US?

Just curious, what are the ownership arrangements with IB? Held in your name or in a custody account
