Hey there, well not really. It just happens that banks also have brokerages services like DBS Vickers, Maybank Kim Eng, UOB Kay Hian. There are other brokerages such as Philips POEMs that offer the same service.

On where to start, the super basics, I literally started from Hardwarezone Money Mind. There are quite a few sticky threads on investing for beginners. But HWZ do have some trolls sometimes.. Alternatively, you are exactly where you are right now - Seedly! They have very comprehensive guides in just about anything related to personal finance! In addition, you can pick up some finance books such as 100 Baggers by Christopher Mayer, just to build up that knowledge first :)
