What is the deposit amount that is protected in a Saxo trading account? I understand for US based brokers the deposit protection is up to US$250k under FDIC insurance in case of broker bankruptcy. Any advice?

For the Singapore branch

75000 SGD cash should be SDIC protected.

The website states 3000 SGD to deposit.

But actually there is no minimum amount.

I have made in depth videos on this topic actually.

But to answer your question, the minimum amount is really a grey area. I have helped someone creating an account with funding of only 500 sgd and that is ok too.​​​
