This Longbridge review separates the headline from the bill. As at November 2026, Longbridge Singapore shows commission as waived on US, Singapore and Hong Kong stocks under its current terms, but it charges a platform fee on every order: at least US$0.99 for US stocks and at least S$0.99 for Singapore stocks. Long Bridge Securities Pte. Ltd. holds a Capital Markets Services licence from MAS.
Investing can lose money. The value of what you buy can fall, and no fee structure changes that. We describe the platform and do not suggest any security.
What Longbridge Is
Longbridge is one of the newer app brokers that Singapore finance sites and creators promote heavily. The others are moomoo, Tiger Brokers and Webull.
It offers US, Singapore and Hong Kong stocks, ETFs and REITs, plus funds and a cash management product. It also offers US options, warrants, daily leverage certificates and margin financing.
One thing it does well is disclosure. Its pricing page lists each charge and who collects it, including the exchange and regulator fees that some brokers leave to the small print.
MAS Licence and How Your Assets Are Held
The MAS Financial Institutions Directory lists Long Bridge Securities Pte. Ltd. as a Capital Markets Services licensee. The licence covers dealing in securities, collective investment schemes and exchange-traded derivatives, product financing and providing custodial services. It is also an exempt financial adviser.
Longbridge holds your shares in custody. Its fee tables refer to a custody fee charged by a counterparty, which Longbridge says it absorbs. We found no CDP-linked account on its site, so expect SGX shares to sit with the broker, not in a CDP account in your name. Ask Longbridge to confirm if this matters to you.
Investments are not SDIC-insured. SDIC protects eligible bank deposits, not shares or funds held at a broker.
Longbridge Review of Fees (as at November 2026)
All figures come from Longbridge Singapore’s pricing page. GST of 9% is charged on top of the fees shown.
| Item | US stocks | Singapore stocks | Hong Kong stocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission (current terms) | Waived | Waived | Waived |
| Commission (listed standard rate) | US$0.003 a share, min US$0.99 | 0.03%, min S$0.99 | 0.03%, min HK$5 |
| Platform fee | US$0.005 a share, min US$0.99, max 1% of trade | 0.03%, min S$0.99 | HK$15 an order |
| Exchange and clearing fees | Settlement US$0.003 a share; SEC fee on sales | Trading 0.0075%, clearing 0.0325% | Stamp duty 0.10%, plus HKEX and levy charges |
| Custody fee | Waived | Waived | Waived |
Other points from the same page:
- Fractional US shares: orders under one share pay no commission and a platform fee of 1% of the trade, capped at US$0.99.
- Funds: no subscription, redemption or platform fee from Longbridge. The fund’s own management fee still applies inside the fund, and Longbridge says it may receive part of that fee from the fund manager.
- US dividends: Longbridge notes that dividends from US companies are generally subject to 30% withholding tax.
- Margin interest in SGD: 6.0% a year.
The commission waiver is described as “lifetime” with terms and conditions attached. Read those terms on Longbridge’s promotion page. We show the listed standard rate too, so you can see the cost if the waiver does not apply to you or is withdrawn.
We could not verify a currency conversion charge, a withdrawal fee or an inactivity fee from Longbridge’s public pages. Check its help centre and the rate quoted in the app.
The short version: with commission waived, Longbridge costs about the same per order as moomoo. The saving depends on a waiver with conditions, and you hold shares in custody, not at CDP.
What a Year of Monthly Buying Costs
Our scenario: US$2,000 of a US-listed ETF and S$2,000 of an SGX-listed share, bought once a month for a year. We assume a US$100 ETF price, so 20 shares an order. This shows fees only and is not a projection of returns.
US order, commission waived: the platform fee is 20 x US$0.005 = US$0.10, so the US$0.99 minimum applies. GST adds about US$0.09 and settlement US$0.06. About US$1.14 an order, or roughly US$13.70 a year.
SGX order, commission waived: 0.03% of S$2,000 is S$0.60, so the S$0.99 minimum platform fee applies. SGX fees add S$0.80. With GST, about S$1.95 an order, or roughly S$23.40 a year.
If the standard commission applied: add US$0.99 to each US order and S$0.99 to each SGX order, before GST. The yearly totals become roughly US$26.60 and S$36.40.
Currency conversion is on top, and we could not put a figure on it from published pages.
Funding, CPF and SRS
You fund the account in Singapore dollars by bank transfer and convert to US or Hong Kong dollars in the app.
We found no CPF or SRS investing facility on Longbridge’s site. For those, look at brokers that publish one, and read our CPF Investment Scheme explainer and SRS guide before moving retirement money anywhere.
Drawbacks and Alternatives
- The waiver has terms. A price that depends on a promotion can change. The platform fee is the dependable number.
- A shorter local track record. The Singapore entity was incorporated in 2021, going by its company registration number. Longer-established brokers have been through more market cycles here.
- No CDP, CPF or SRS route that we could find.
- High-risk products are a tap away. Options, warrants, daily leverage certificates and margin can lose money fast. Longbridge’s own notice says you may lose all or more than your initial investment. Leave them alone unless you fully understand them.
Who Longbridge does not suit
It is not a fit if you want shares at CDP, if you are investing CPF or SRS money, or if you want a broker with branches and a long local history. People who would rather not make buy and sell decisions are better served by a managed service.
Alternatives to compare
- Webull lists no commission and no platform fee on US stocks.
- Interactive Brokers has a long track record and published FX pricing.
- POEMS is a long-established local broker with a CDP-linked account option.
- Endowus covers CPF and SRS investing in funds.
