Forex brokers in Singapore

Which brokers hold a local licence in Singapore, which international brokers accept residents, and what to check first.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore requires firms that deal in leveraged forex or CFDs with Singapore clients to hold a Capital Markets Services licence, and sets margin requirements for retail clients.

What to check first

Search the Financial Institutions Directory for the exact legal entity and confirm that its licence covers the activity. MAS also keeps an Investor Alert List of unregulated entities.
