MAS-regulated brokers, with license numbers you can check
Regulation is the first filter most traders apply, and the one most often stated without proof. Every broker below is listed with its MAS license number exactly as the broker publishes it, linked to the source so you can confirm it on the official register.

How do I verify a MAS license myself?
Take the license number from the table and search it on the regulator's own public register. If the entity name on the register does not match the entity that will actually hold your money, that difference matters — a broker group can be licensed in one jurisdiction while onboarding you through another.
Does MAS regulation mean my money is protected?
It means the entity is authorised and subject to that regulator's rules, which typically cover client-money segregation and reporting. The specific protections — compensation schemes, negative balance protection, leverage caps — differ by regulator and by which entity onboards you, so check the entity named in your account agreement, not just the group's best license.
