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.
