Updated list of Accredited Online Trading Brokers in the Philippines this 2020. If you want to buy, sell and trade stocks online, you must have an online account with any of the brokerage firms below. As a reference for the stock market and investment topics here, I am sharing the official list of online brokers in the Philippines accredited by the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).
Currently this 2020, there are only 30 online brokers although there are more than a hundred of brokers (lots of local and few foreign). Choosing your online broker is important for trading and investing in the stock market. Because it is like your live stock market arena so it is also so important to get comfortable and feel at home with it.
The most popular online brokers as of now are COL Financial (used to be Citisec Online), BPI Securities (BPITrade) and First Metro Securities. BDO Nomura recently joined as well. Of course those are my nicknames for them, you’ll know their official names as you go forth below.
New users can open an account by depositing the required minimum fund for the online stock trading account. And then submitting the required documents which are available to download from the websites anytime. No worries it’s just like opening a bank account really.
