MooMoo commission fees in Singapore

Whenever you hold, buy or sell assets, you’re likely to pay fees. Fees vary depending on the type of asset you’re buying or selling, with some charges being levied by MooMoo and other parties involved in the transaction, and other costs being paid to the Singapore government, as well as authorities and regulatory bodies in the markets you’re trading in. It’s worth bearing in mind, for example, that Singapore’s 7% GST may apply on some transactions, in addition to MooMoo’s own costs.

Let’s run through the key MooMoo commission fees you need to know about - don’t forget to read the full terms and conditions carefully before you start investing to make sure you’re clear on all the details.

MooMoo deposit and withdrawal fees

MooMoo doesn’t charge a deposit fee when you add funds to your account, or a withdrawal fee when you take your money out of your portfolio.

However, if you’re trading in foreign markets and need to convert your funds to a different currency, or send an international payment, you might run into a couple of different charges levied by your bank or other providers involved in processing the transaction.

Traditional banks typically process international transactions using the SWIFT payment network. It’s an established and reliable way to send money overseas, but it can often be slow and come with surprise costs. When you’re investing, cutting out unnecessary costs, and getting your money where it needs to be faster can make all the difference - which might mean that SWIFT payments aren’t your best choice.


Instead of relying on your normal bank, if you need to send or convert funds for investing, check out low cost international payments and currency conversion from Wise. Open a Wise account online for free, to transact in 50+ currencies and get local bank account details in 10 currencies (including USD, SGD, GBP, and others).

For example, if you’re trading in the US stock market, with Wise you can withdraw your profits to your local USD account without any international transfer charges. Every time you need to switch from one currency to another, or convert foreign currencies to SGD, you’ll get the real exchange rate with no hidden fees or costs - which can save up to 6x compared to your bank.
