3. Wait for your account to get verified - this usually takes minutes, but can take up to 1-2 days in some cases

4. Once your identity is verified, you can start trading the same day. Fund your account and start building your investment portfolio.

We've designed the process to be as smooth as possible, with clear guidance at every step.

SingPass verification is typically instant, letting you start trading sooner. It's secure, simple, and saves you the hassle of uploading documents manually.

We keep document requirements simple and straightforward: 

With SingPass:

• No additional documents required. 

Without SingPass:

• One proof of identity: Valid ID card or passport 

• One proof of address: Recent bank statement or utility bill.

All documents should be clear and current. If we need any additional information, our KYC team will contact you directly. This requirement applies to all applicants, regardless of residency status. 

We've kept our requirements simple to make investing accessible to more people.

• Be at least 18 years old

• Be able to deposit a minimum of S$1

That's it! There are no income requirements. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to build their wealth through investing.

SingPass verification:

• Start trading immediately once approved.

Document verification:

• Immediate approval in 70% of cases when completing the liveness check

We've eliminated trade commissions to help maximise your returns:

• 0% commission on all stock and ETF trades

• No data fees 

• No custody fees

You'll only pay the FX rate when converting currency for international trades and any mandatory third-party fees from exchanges. This simple fee structure means more of your money stays invested and working for you.
