Compare 18 stock brokers side-by-side below, offering access to SGX, NYSE, NASDAQ, HKEX, and 12+ global exchanges. Each platform displays our walletWalkRating (out of 5.0), its specialty (e.g., "Best for zero-commission US stock trading"), and key features like commission rates, fractional shares, and CPF/SRS compatibility. All 18 brokers (100%) are MAS-regulated or licensed, ensuring investor protection through segregated custody and compensation schemes. This list excludes pure robo-advisors where you cannot select individual stocks.
We rate each broker across 8 categories: Trading Costs (12 platforms offer zero-commission US stocks), Platform Quality (mobile apps, execution speed), Market Access (SGX, US, HK, China A-shares), Security (MAS licensing, fund segregation), and Support (local vs offshore teams). 15 brokers require $0 minimum deposit, while traditional banks (DBS, Maybank, OCBC) offer unique CPF Ordinary Account and SRS integration for tax-advantaged retirement investing unavailable on newer digital platforms.
Filter by commission type (zero-commission vs tiered), market access (SGX-focused vs global), or retirement compatibility (CPF/SRS approved). Sort by lowest total cost (commission + FX spread + platform fees), highest rating, or best for beginners (16 platforms with fractional shares and demo accounts).
