The table below compares major Singapore stockbrokers who can buy foreign shares. If you haven’t already done so, you may want to begin by reading the Singapore international stock broker guide for an overview of what’s available and then using this table to compare firms. Further details of fees and services are listed on each stock broker’s individual page.
If you’re simply looking for the cheapest stock broker in Singapore to buy Singapore stocks only, try the Singapore brokerage fees comparison table instead.
Non-residents looking for an overseas account may find the guides to opening a Singapore bank account and opening a Singapore stock broker account useful. All Singapore stockbrokers seem to accept non-resident investors, except Citibank and possibly Standard Chartered. Some may still accept US residents, who cannot open accounts with most international stockbrokers because of US tax laws and SEC regulations.
