What is CMC Invest?

CMC Invest is a digital investing platform that allows Singapore-based users to trade US and UK stocks and ETFs with zero commission. Backed by CMC Markets (a global financial services firm with decades of experience), the platform is designed for both new investors and experienced traders who want an easy, low-cost way to access global markets.

Think of it like a no-frills airline for your money — no fancy extras, but you get where you want to go efficiently. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easier for beginners to get the hang of things, while advanced tools cater to those who want to dive deeper into charts and performance metrics.

Commission fees

One of the biggest draws of CMC Invest is its commission-free trading for US and UK stocks and ETFs. That’s right — zero commission. This means you can invest in companies like Tesla, Microsoft, or Vanguard ETFs without paying a fee per trade.

However, it’s worth noting that while you won’t be charged for making trades, you’ll still encounter some unavoidable costs like the currency conversion spread and regulatory fees — but more on that next.

Other fees

While there’s no commission fee, keep an eye on these charges:

  • FX conversion fee: When you trade in USD or GBP, your SGD will be converted — currently at a 0.5% spread.
  • Regulatory and exchange fees: These are minor (like the US SEC fee or UK Stamp Duty), but they do add up over time.
  • Withdrawal and inactivity fees: As of now, CMC Invest doesn’t charge for withdrawals or inactivity, which is a win for casual investors.

Overall, the fee structure is very friendly for Singapore-based investors who want exposure to overseas markets without getting stung by high charges.

Trading Products

You can trade thousands of stocks and ETFs listed on US, SG, UK, and 12 more exchanges. Whether you're into big tech stocks, dividend aristocrats, or low-cost index ETFs, you’re covered.

Want to invest in Apple, Nvidia, or the S&P 500? CMC Invest has them. Looking to try a clean energy ETF or an emerging markets fund? That’s available too. For now, CMC Invest doesn’t support SGX-listed shares or other asset classes like crypto or options, but for global equity investing, it does the job well.

How to open a CMC Invest account in Singapore

Step 1: Apply through SingSaver

Click the “Apply Now” button on SingSaver to start your application. You’ll not only get exclusive SingSaver welcome gifts, but you may also be eligible for cash rewards, gadgets, or vouchers when you meet the funding requirements.

Step 2: Register for a new CMC Invest account

Once redirected to CMC’s site, fill out your details, verify your identity (using Singpass MyInfo makes it almost instant), and set up your account preferences.

Step 3: Fund your CMC Invest account

You can fund your account via FAST bank transfer in SGD. The funds will then be converted to USD or GBP when you make trades. No minimum deposit is required, making it accessible for those who want to start small.

Customer support

CMC Invest provides 24/5 customer support via email and live chat — handy if you’re trading after work. There’s also an in-app help centre with FAQs and tutorials, which is great for self-learners.

While it’s not a fully localised support experience (some queries may route through regional teams), most users find it responsive enough for their needs.
