Before you sign up
Five checks for Singapore
- Find the firm on MAS’s register yourself, not through a link the firm sent.
- Check that the company named on your account agreement is the one on the register.
- Confirm the website, phone and email match the register entry.
- Ask which compensation scheme covers your account, and up to what amount.
- Size your first trades inside the retail cap: position size check.
