    Frequently Asked Questions

    KGI Securities (Singapore) operates under Singapore regulation and holds permissions to offer leveraged foreign exchange and related products. You trade under a local legal framework that sets rules on conduct, client money, and reporting. The firm must meet prudential, audit, and fit‐and‐proper standards. Regulation does not remove market, liquidity, or operational risk. You should read the legal documents, risk disclosures, and terms to learn how orders, margin, stops, and liquidations work before you trade.

    KGI Securities (Singapore) offers margin foreign exchange and may also offer contracts for difference on currency pairs. You can access desktop, web, and mobile platforms with charts, order tickets, and account reports. You place market, limit, and stop orders, set stops and targets, and use alerts and watchlists. Platform choice can affect tools, product range, and fees. Check the product list, platform guide, and terms for the region you onboard in, as availability can vary.

    You complete an application and pass identity and address checks under local KYC and AML rules. You fund by bank transfer and, in some cases, supported local payment rails; third‐party payments are usually not accepted. Withdrawals return to a verified account in your name. Processing time depends on cut‐off times, banking hours, and compliance checks. Your bank or intermediary can charge fees. Keep your details and documents current to avoid delays.

    You face costs such as spreads, commissions, overnight financing on leveraged positions, and currency conversion when your account base differs from the traded pair. Some accounts or platforms can have platform or inactivity fees. Pricing can change with market conditions and liquidity. You can also see slippage and market impact in fast markets. Review the fee schedule and product disclosures, and use a demo order ticket to understand the total cost before you place trades.

    Client money is handled under local client asset rules, typically in segregated accounts with appointed banks or custodians. You should review how interest, reconciliation, and treatment on default apply in the terms. Margin is monitored in real time; if equity falls, you can receive a margin call or have positions reduced. Learn the margin framework, liquidation steps, and corporate action handling in the risk disclosure so you know when positions can be closed.
