Welcome to POEMS!
This page is your source of information for all matters regarding the migration to Phillip Securities.
Bookmark this page as we will be updating more information to ease your transition.
Please be informed that on 29 June 2020, RHB Investment Bank Berhad has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with Phillip Securities Pte. Ltd. (“Phillip Securities”) for the disposal of its stock broking businesses in RHB Securities Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“RHBSS”) to Phillip Securities (“Proposed Transaction”).
The Proposed Transaction will benefit existing brokerage customers, who will enjoy greater access and convenience to trade a broad range of global investment products offered by RHBSS and Phillip Securities. We remain committed to ensuring that the Proposed Transaction will create value for our customers.
It is expected for the Proposed Transaction to be completed by mid-September 2020, subject to approvals being received from relevant regulatory authorities.
In the meantime, no action is required of you.
With regard to our services, it is business as usual and we remain committed to providing the same level of professionalism in serving and supporting your investment needs.
Further updates will be shared on this page in due course.
Further to our earlier notice to you, we would like to inform you that your RHBSS trading account(s) will be transferred to PSPL on 26 October 2020 (Effective Date).
As permitted by the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the “PDPA”), certain personal data of the customers of RHBSS has been or will be disclosed by RHBSS to PSPL and collected and used by PSPL in the process of and to facilitate the transfer of the customer accounts, customer assets and positions of RHBSS pursuant to the amalgamation of RHBSS and PSPL on the Effective Date. These personal data include the customer’s name, contact number, email address and payment information. Any disclosure, collection and use of personal data will be undertaken by RHBSS and PSPL in accordance with the PDPA and any other applicable law.
To minimise any disruption to your trading activities from the Effective Date, we will set up your new PSPL trading account(s) in advance in mid-October 2020 and link it to your Central Depository (CDP) Account, subject to CDP’s approval. While the PSPL trading account(s) is setup in advance, your PSPL trading account(s) will only be operational for trading purposes from the Effective Date.
From the Effective Date, you will be able to use your new PSPL trading account(s) for trades through your servicing remisier and/or via Phillip On-line Electronic Mart System (“POEMS”) online trading platforms. You will no longer be able to trade on your existing RHBSS trading account(s) except for liquidation of unsettled buy contract(s).
The terms currently governing your RHBSS trading account(s) will be deemed replaced and your new PSPL trading account(s) will be subject to PSPL’s standard ‘Terms & Conditions’, which are available at www.poems.com.sg. Once you commence trading with PSPL from the Effective Date, you are deemed to have read, understood and accepted PSPL’s terms.
Please refer to FAQs below for details of your new PSPL trading account(s) and the effect of the transfer of your RHBSS trading account(s) to PSPL on your transactions and settlements.
Please rest assured that we remain committed to providing the same level of professionalism in serving and supporting your investment needs.
Following the acquisition of RHB Securities Singapore’s stockbroking business by Phillip Securities, kindly be informed that the RHBInvest website and online trading platforms will be discontinued with effect from 15 November 2020, 10am (“end date”).
Prior to the end date, you are still able to view and download your e-Statements, transaction history and portfolio on the RHBInvest online trading platforms.
Moving forward, please visit this page for all matters regarding the migration to Phillip Securities.
