5 Best Stock Brokerages in Singapore (2026) — Tiger, moomoo, IBKR, Webull & Saxo Compared

MAS-licensed (since 2020), backed by NASDAQ-listed UP Fintech. The default pick for most SG retail investors who want one solid account that covers US, SGX, HK, China A-shares. US stocks: US$0.01/share with US$0.99 per-trade minimum. SGX: 0.03% with S$0.99 min. Strong sign-up promo: typically S$50 cash + free fractional shares (Apple, Tesla) for funding S$2,000+ within 7 days. App is functional, charts decent, fundamental data layered. Pre-funded model for SGX (no CDP). Best for: SG investors wanting one tidy multi-market account.

Futu Holdings subsidiary, MAS-licensed (Capital Markets Services). Famous for the most-aggressive sign-up promotions in the SG market. Typical promo: free Apple share + 12 months commission-free US stock trading + USD/SGD bonus for funding. Standard fees after promo: US stocks US$0.0049/share with US$0.99 min, SGX 0.03% with S$0.99 min. App is the slickest in this list (Hong Kong design heritage) — strong charting, options analytics, in-app social/sentiment feed. Pre-funded SGX. Best for: investors who can lock in the new-user promo for the first 12 months of trading.

Global broker, MAS-licensed via Interactive Brokers Singapore Pte Ltd. The pro/HNW choice for cost-sensitive serious investors. US stocks via IBKR Pro: US$0.005/share with US$1 trade minimum (cheapest at scale — US$5,000 trade costs ~US$1, vs ~US$5–9 elsewhere). 150+ markets globally — London (LSE), Tokyo, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Sydney all in one account. The downside: app/web platform is functional-but-clunky compared to moomoo/Tiger; learning curve real. No headline sign-up bonus. Best for: investors trading US$10K+ per trade or wanting global market access.

MAS-licensed (Capital Markets Services). Operationally similar to moomoo — both target the active US-stock retail trader with slick app + commission promos. Typical sign-up: free fractional shares + extended commission-free US stock trading window (often 6–12 months). Standard fees: US stocks US$0.0049/share with US$0.99 min. SGX 0.03% with S$0.99 min. App is fast, charts good, options chain reasonable. Pre-funded SGX. Best for: investors who want a moomoo-like experience but want to compare promos head-to-head before committing.

Danish-headquartered, MAS-licensed since 2006. Two tiers: SaxoInvestor (retail, US$1 flat per US trade — was previously much pricier, slashed in 2023 to compete) and SaxoTraderPRO (institutional/active). SGX trades use proper CDP custody (no broker omnibus), making Saxo unique in this list for long-term SGX holders who care about transferability. Full bond market, FX, CFD, futures, options access. App + web are well-designed, professional aesthetic. No flashy sign-up promos. Best for: SG investors wanting CDP-custody for SGX, low US-stock fees, AND access to bonds/FX/intl markets in one premium platform.
