Syfe Trade sees 10,000 waitlist sign-ups in first day since unveiling

After the end of 1Q2022, Syfe will offer two free trades per month and charge US$1.49 per trade thereafter, says Syfe’s partner and VP of distribution Sebastian Sieber in response to queries from The Edge Singapore.

Syfe Trade also offers fractional trading of shares, with some 10,300 US-listed names to choose from, says Dhruv Arora, founder and CEO of Syfe.

“You can buy into these companies in very small quantities, even just by dollar value; I think it is very unique,” says Arora at a media briefing on Dec 15. “This is somewhat popular in the West, but in this part of the world, it is still not very common. Last we checked, none of the established players in the region offer it, which puts us in a very good spot for people who want to build their own diversified portfolios with different sizes.”
