Start MT5 Trading with FBS

Account Registration Process in Singapore

Opening an FBS trading account in Singapore is efficient, requiring about one working day to complete. Our digital system allows full online registration without paperwork, ensuring swift processing for local traders. Begin by visiting the FBS official site and selecting “Open an account.” Enter your valid email and full name, or opt for quicker registration using Google or Facebook sign-in options. Confirm your registration via the email link to activate your client profile and gain immediate access to your trading dashboard.

Complete the application with accurate personal information including your Singapore address. Choose between demo or live accounts depending on your trading intentions. Identity verification typically finalizes within 24 hours after document submission during local business hours.

MT5 Platform Configuration Options

Account Type Selection

FBS supports two main account types for MT5 users in Singapore: Standard and Cent accounts. Standard accounts allow trading with minimum lot sizes of 0.01 and provide access to direct market execution. Cent accounts are designed for micro lot trading, ideal for those starting with smaller investments. Base currencies offered include USD and EUR, with Singapore traders predominantly choosing USD for simplified currency management. Leverage options range from 1:1 to 1:3000, adjustable during account setup based on verification and asset classes.

Trading Platform Access Methods

Traders can obtain the MT5 platform via multiple channels. The desktop version is downloadable from our website and includes features like advanced charting, expert advisors (EAs), and customizable indicators. Mobile versions for Android and iOS provide full trading and monitoring capabilities on the go. For users preferring no installation, the web-based MT5 platform runs entirely in browsers, suitable for shared or public computers.

• Desktop MT5: full feature suite, Windows and Mac compatible
• Mobile MT5: Android and iOS apps with push notifications
• Web MT5: browser-based, no installation necessary

Identity Verification Requirements

Singapore traders must complete KYC verification before live trading access. Uploading a valid passport or national ID card with clear personal data and expiration is mandatory. Proof of address documents such as utility bills or bank statements issued within the last three months are accepted. Verification is processed within one business day, but incomplete documentation may cause delays. Additionally, traders need to complete a financial knowledge survey to assess risk awareness and confirm understanding of forex and CFD trading complexities.

Funding Your Trading Account

Deposit Methods Available

FBS offers over 200 funding options tailored for Singapore clients. These include major credit and debit cards, local and international bank transfers, and various e-wallets. Minimum deposits start at USD 5. Card payments are typically instant and commission-free, provided the cardholder’s name matches the trading account details. Bank transfers generally take 1-2 business days, depending on the financial institution.

Account Funding Process
