SG’s Trust Bank launches fractional trading of US stocks, ETFs

Trust Bank, a Singapore-based digital bank, has launched fractional trading of US stocks and ETFs through its app, partnering with Saxo Singapore to offer access to over 7,000 US securities.

The service allows customers to buy slices of stocks starting from US$10, with no commission fees until June 30, 2026. Customers making their first trade of at least US$1,000 can also win free fractional stock worth up to US$500.

Since opening registration in November 2025, about 10,000 customers have created trading accounts, with 45% participating in fractional trades.

The platform integrates trading directly within the Trust app, eliminating the need for separate accounts or transfers.

Saxo Singapore, with over 30 years of online trading experience, powers the brokerage service.

Trust Bank emphasizes its goal to make investing simple and accessible, but notes all investments carry risks, and the offering is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

  • These tools can attract users who want the lowest all-in cost, then deliver leads to brokers with transparent, all-in pricing through affiliate partnerships.
