  • United States: Stocks, ETFs, Fractional Shares, and Options.
  • Singapore (SGX): Stocks, REITs, and Structured Warrants.
  • Hong Kong (HKEX): Stocks, Options, Warrants, and CBBCs.

What are the trading commissions & fee tiers for US/SG equities?

Tiger Brokers uses transparent fee structures designed to scale efficiently depending on your order size and volume. For a comprehensive schedule across all instruments, view the official Tiger Brokers Commissions Guide.

US Equities Fee Breakdown Example:

  • For Small / Regular Orders: Standard commission applies with a minimum floor (e.g., $0.99 commission + $1.00 platform fee).
  • For High-Volume / Large Share Sizes: Structured on a per-share basis (e.g., $0.005 per share), making it cost-effective for large block trades.

Note: Third-party regulatory fees such as SEC and FINRA fees apply on applicable sell orders.

Is Tiger Brokers MAS compliant, licensed, and how long has it been around?

Yes. Tiger Brokers (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (UEN: 201810449W) is fully licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) holding a Capital Markets Services (CMS) Licence. Globally, the group has been operating since 2014, scaling into a publicly traded fintech leader listed on NASDAQ (ticker: TIGR). Client funds are kept strictly segregated in trust accounts with top-tier custodian banks (such as DBS) in accordance with MAS statutory guidelines.

How does Tiger Brokers compare with other digital-first platforms?

While other online discount applications offer modern trading utilities, Tiger Brokers differentiates itself through:

  • Institutional-Grade Depth: Comprehensive analytical charting tools, multi-currency cash yields, and deep institutional order routing.
  • Dedicated Human Support: Unlike purely self-service discount apps, having an assigned Investment Representative provides you with direct guidance, technical assistance, and structured portfolio reports.
How do commission rates compare against legacy traditional bank brokers?

Traditional legacy bank brokers typically charge heavy minimum commissions alongside recurring quarterly account custody fees.

Tiger Brokers Advantage: SGX trades start with low commissions (minimum S$0.99 commission + S$1.00 platform fee) and $0 custody fees, saving active and passive investors significant overhead over time.
