What is FOREX.com?
FOREX.com is a global online broker that specialises in forex and CFD trading, and it’s now fully available to Singaporean traders too. Owned by StoneX Group, a Fortune 100 company listed on NASDAQ, FOREX.com brings over 20 years of experience in financial markets to your fingertips.
While it used to be more prominent in the U.S. and Europe, it has expanded into Singapore by absorbing City Index Singapore as of April 2025. That means Singapore-based traders now get access to the FOREX.com platform backed by a regulated and trusted global brand. It's important to know that FOREX.com only offers CFD trading in Singapore, so you’re not buying the actual asset, but rather trading based on price movements.
With over 6,000 share CFDs, 84 forex pairs, and products spanning indices, commodities, and metals, the platform is designed for those who want flexibility, leverage, and a wide range of markets from a single dashboard.
CFD commission fees
CFDs, or Contracts for Difference, allow you to speculate on the price movement of an asset without actually owning it. Instead of buying a stock or a commodity, you're entering into a contract to settle the difference in price between when you open and close a trade. Because of this structure, most CFDs on FOREX.com are commission-free, except for shares.
Here's a quick look at what you'll pay when trading share CFDs:
