Stock Brokers in Singapore, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Singapore is a tightly regulated retail FX hub. CMS-licensed brokers — IG Asia, Saxo Markets, OANDA Asia Pacific, City Index, CMC Markets and Phillip Futures — dominate onshore flow. The MAS Investor Alert List names dozens of offshore platforms that solicit Singapore residents without authorisation; banks regularly block transfers to flagged entities.

Tax

Singapore does not tax capital gains. Forex and CFD profits earned by individuals are not taxable unless trading is conducted as a business or principal occupation, in which case profits are subject to personal income tax (up to 24% for residents). The IRAS uses the same badges-of-trade tests as the UK to determine treatment.

Retail trading rules

For retail clients, MAS caps leverage at 1:20 on majors and 1:10 on minors and gold; accredited investors may opt out. Brokers must segregate client funds in MAS-approved trust accounts and provide a Customer Knowledge Assessment before account opening. Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail.
