Interest, Swaps & Commissions

Due to the global nature of leverage trading products, your Phillip Futures trading account is a multi-currency account. Each currency has its own account balance. If you are trading a product that requires a particular denominated currency (e.g. margin, commission or unrealised losses), interest charges will be levied if you do not have sufficient balance in that currency. These interest rates are subject to change.

The latest interest rates can be obtained from the Client Portal under Trading Information.

For details on debit interest rates for respective currencies, please contact our Client Service Desk at (65) 6538 0500 or email futures@phillip.com.sg.

Note: MT5 is a USD based trading account so Credit/Debit interest is not applicable.

No. Phillip Futures will not do any currency conversion to cover the deficit without your expressed consent or instructions. An exception may be made if your account is in danger of going into over-loss due to exchange rate fluctuations. Phillip Futures reserves the right to do an auto-conversion of the deficit amount to maintain a positive account balance.

For the latest currency conversion rates, you may contact the Forex Desk at (65) 6536 7200 for quotes. If the quoted rate is favourable, you can instruct the dealer to proceed with the currency conversion immediately. Alternatively, you may choose to do the conversion online via the Client Portal. Upon logging in to the Client Portal > E-SERVICES > Currency Conversion.

Note: MT5 is a USD based trading account so currency conversions are not applicable.

For positive balances of over €30,000 and ¥3,000,000, a negative interest rate will be applicable. Please note that the interest rates are subject to change. You can check the latest interest rates via Client Portal or through this link.
