AI image by LocalRankOpening a stock brokerage account in Singapore means choosing a platform, a regulated entity and a set of markets, and the options have multiplied. This guide lists online brokers and trading platforms that serve Singapore residents and that publish or are listed with a Monetary Authority of Singapore licence. We checked each provider's own site for its regulatory statement and cross-checked the licensee name against the MAS Financial Institutions Directory. The order is an editorial grouping, not a ranking, and we do not compare commissions, fees or performance. Use the blurbs to see which markets and products each provider says it supports, then read current terms and risk disclosures on the provider's own site.

Ltd. is the local arm of the Moomoo investing app. Its site says it is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, holding a Capital Markets Services licence alongside a payment institution licence and exempt financial adviser status, and the entity also appears in the MAS Financial Institutions Directory.

How to choose
- Confirm the licensed entity before anything else. Look for the exact company name and licence type on the provider's site, then search that name in the MAS Financial Institutions Directory. Check that the Singapore entity, not an overseas affiliate, will hold your account, and be wary of platforms that cannot show a Singapore licensee.
- Check which markets and products are actually open to your account type. A broker may list many exchanges, options, futures or leveraged products, yet enable only some for retail clients or require extra approvals. Read the product pages and account terms to see what you can trade, and in which currencies, from day one.
- Read the full schedule of charges rather than a headline claim. Brokers can charge for trades, currency conversion, custody, data, inactivity or withdrawals in different ways. Compare how charges apply to the way you plan to trade, and note whether any pricing shown is conditional, tiered or could change after you open.
- Understand how your assets are held and protected. Ask whether shares sit in a custodian or nominee account, how client money is segregated, and what any protection scheme does and does not cover. Be careful not to assume insurance covers market losses, and read the provider's own explanation of its safeguards.
- Test the service before committing larger sums. Look at the platform's order types, statements, tax documents, customer support channels and complaints process, and read the risk disclosures for margin, options and other leveraged products. Provider descriptions are marketing, so verify claims in the terms and conditions, and consider whether you need independent financial advice.
