If being on top of your financial life is one of your goals for 2025, then it makes sense to be regularly reading some of Singapore’s top finance blogs and websites.

In this article, we have shortlisted more than 50 of the best finance blogs and websites that you should be reading, or at least know about if you wish to improve your financial knowledge.

Top Financial Sites & Finance Blogs

We have sorted the sites and finance blogs out by categories. Some of these finance blogs and websites are popular across the demographic that they focus on while others are on the list because they cover niche content not easily found elsewhere. The common denominator among all these finance blogs and websites is that they will help you improve your personal finance knowledge, in their own respective ways.

You can head down to any of the specific categories that you are interested in. The ranking of the finance blogs and websites is in no particular order.

Personal Finance

MoneySmart

MoneySmart is one of the pioneers of Singapore’s personal finance space. Because of this, their website has a wealth of information on most personal finance topics that you may be interested in.

By covering personal finance topics in an easy-to-understand manner for the layperson, MoneySmart makes a great starting point for anyone just starting to learn about personal finance.

MoneySense

MoneySense is Singapore’s main national financial literacy initiative. Spearheaded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Ministry of Manpower, this recently revamped and refreshed website contains a wealth of information and resources to help anyone living in Singapore better understand various financial instruments and concepts available. The non-profit nature of MoneySense makes this website a trusted, quality destination that anyone interested in personal finance should keep in their bookmarks.

Seedly

Seedly has a popular blog and Facebook group. The company has also created an annual Seedly Personal Finance Festival, bringing finance brands, finfluencers and ordinary Singaporeans together. Seedly was acquired by the CompareAsiaGroup (now known as the MoneyHero Group) in 2020.

Their blog touches on a range of personal finance and investment topics, some of which are curated from posts from their Facebook group. This is actually a good thing since regular posters on their group include many financial bloggers and people in the financial industry.

Playing With FIRE

Playing with FIRE is a relatively new financial literacy platform created by four passionate NTU students to help young adults navigate their financial journey with confidence. Focusing on the principles of Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE), they break down complex financial concepts into engaging and relatable content. With the help of their mascot ‘Centy’, they make learning about money fun through their articles, quizzes, and storytelling (The Tale of Centy). Whether you’re just starting or looking to improve your financial knowledge, Playing with FIRE offers valuable insights in this field tailored to the Singaporean context.

The Financial Coconut

The Financial Coconut is a financial literacy platform in Singapore, known for its podcast on various topics in finance and engaging content across YouTube and social media such as TikTok and Instagram. Focused on helping individuals work smart, invest wisely, and retire well, it simplifies complex financial topics through expert discussions, market insights, and practical money tips. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor, this site makes finance content accessible and engaging.

SingSaver

SingSaver’s core focus is being a fantastic credit card and personal loan comparison website. But since we can all benefit from money-saving tips, credit card hacks and financial news in general, that’s what SingSaver’s article section provides. Their original content is useful, concise and very relatable. Lately, the company has even got well-known personalities such as Nat Ho to share their financial journey with readers.

Like Seedly, SingSaver is part of the CompareAsia Group (now known as the Hyphen Group).

Investing and Trading

The Fifth Person

The Fifth Person covers investing and personal finance topics, with a particular emphasis on stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Singapore, Malaysia and the United States. They believe that by sharing sound investment knowledge and helping readers improve their financial literacy, Singaporeans and people around the world can one day enjoy financial security.

Investment Moats

One of the oldest personal finance websites in Singapore was started in 2005, Investment Moats is created and run by Kyith Ng. Every one of his articles is comprehensive and crafted with great care. Topics he covers range from growing and managing wealth, investing concepts, analysis of individual stocks, and his thoughts on policies. Kyith also maintains a dividend stock tracker and keeps a public record of his current portfolio.

Dr Wealth

Dr Wealth (previously known as BigFatPurse) provides investment education to Singaporeans by publishing guides on their website as well as through courses they conduct. They aim to impart proven and actionable investment methods so that their users can achieve superior returns.

Some of their most popular contents include guides to STI ETF, Singapore REITs, Value Investing and Factor-Based Investing. In recent years, Dr Wealth has also expanded its range of courses being offered and it now offers trading-related courses such as its Intelligent Investors Immersive course, which teaches retail investors to trade the market in any market conditions.

TradingWithRayner

The hero of the titular website TradingWithRayner is on a mission to save retail investors like you and me from self-destruction. Besides being a successful independent trader, Rayner is a renowned trading coach who shares his trading knowledge and methods through articles, e-Books, YouTube videos and courses.

If you are passionate to learn more about trading on assets classes, TradingWithRayner will be an ideal website to get started from.

A Singaporean Stocks Investor (ASSI)

A Singaporean Stocks Investor (ASSI), also known as AK, is a very active personal investing blog. While the bulk of content centres on investing topics and logs of personal investments made, you can sometimes find advice for undergrads, thoughts on life insurance, and more. AK identity is not known though followers of his blog would know that he is a Singaporean male in his 40s.

Endowus Insights

Endowus Insight brings to you financial insight from Endowus, a local start-up that aims to help investors leverage on technology for investment advice and opportunities. While most other finance sites tend to focus on stocks, bonds, ETFs or REITs, Endowus Insight focuses on topics such as unit trusts and mutual funds, which tend to be less well covered in Singapore.

Investor One

Operated by ShareInvestor, Investor One is a portal specifically dedicated to Catalist stocks which are listed on the Singapore Exchange. The website features a wide range of articles that provide information on Catalist companies. There are analysis as well as interviews conducted with C-level executives of these companies, giving investors insights into smaller listed companies that are not as well covered by the media.

SGX Education & Research

If you are looking to invest in stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), then it makes sense for you to follow the content on the SGX Research & Education page. This page is run by the Singapore Exchange and provides daily updates, writeups, and commentary pieces which are produced by SGX’s own market strategists and writers.

The Smart Investor

If like us, you were disappointed that The Motley Fool Singapore is no longer around, your disappointment can end here – with The Smart Investor. Co-founded by David Kuo, ex-CEO of The Motley Fool Singapore, the website started in late 2019 and was formed from the ashes of The Motley Fool Singapore (their description, not ours). Unlike The Motley Fool Singapore which focused heavily on analysing Singapore stocks, The Smart Investor provides a wider range of investment-related content which includes general investment tips and investment strategies.

The Good Investor

If The Smart Investor isn’t good enough (pun intended) for you, then The Good Investor might be what you are looking for instead. Also founded by a pair of ex-The Motley Fool Singapore writers, the site publishes articles that aim to educate Singaporeans about stock investing. A wide range of easily relatable investing-related content is produced on a regular basis by the pair of writers and anyone who has been following The Motley Fool Singapore will find their content easily digestible.

Beansprout

Started by Gerald Wong, an ex-analyst at Credit Suisse with more than a decade of experience, Beansprout aims to provide concise and actionable insights that can help readers make better investment decisions. The site regularly produces investment content that is relevant to Singapore investors.

Personal Blogs

Budget Babe

Budget Babe is a working professional who generously shares about anything she is doing, learning and thinking. From buying your first Bitcoin to budgeting for your wedding, think of Budget Babe as your BFF who always has your back for all things financial. Regardless of the stage in life you are in, her articles are easily relatable

Budget Babe became a mother in late 2018 so there have been a fair amount of parenting-related finance articles on her finance blog, written from a female perspective of course.

Dividend Titan

Run by experienced investor and analyst Willie Keng, the Dividend Titan blog discusses topics and companies that can help readers generate passive income from their investments. Prior to starting Dividend Titan, Willie was part of the “rat race” and worked at various financial institutions, including Phillip Capital, Bank of Singapore (BOS), and DBS.

My 15 Hour Work Week

Written by a husband and wife team who are “quarter-retired” by age 29, My 15 Hour Work Week is a fascinating peek into the philosophy and methodology of achieving financial freedom in Singapore using a variety of financial tools.

Besides giving you a glimpse of how semi-retirement could look like in Singapore, My 15 Hour Work Week also provides readers with regular updates to his investment portfolio.

A Path To Forever Financial Freedom

Similar to 15 Hour Work Week, if your goal is to enjoy financial independence at an early age, then you would find the articles on A Path To Forever Financial Freedom relevant. Since starting in 2011, the author of the blog, Brian, has written more than 650 articles. Brian’s own personal goal is to achieve financial independence by age 35. In 2019, Brian did encounter some personal challenges (he shared about it in his blog) and it’s inspiring to see how the father-of-two has navigated through the challenges.

Small Cap Asia

If you are looking to invest in stocks with smaller market capitalisation and which are less well known, Small Cap Asia is the website you want to follow. Started by James Yeo, who is a former writer at The Motley Fool and DollarsAndSense, the site aims to provide essential research, tools and analysis to simplify investing so that everyone can invest. Small Cap Asia hopes to help its readers find the best possible stock investments in the market so that they can earn returns that are more than 100%.

Singapore IPOs

If you are looking to find information on a stock that is about to have its initial public offering (IPO) on the Singapore Exchange, Singapore IPO is where you want to turn to.

Detailed write-ups have been done for each company that has listed on the SGX Mainboard or Catalist since 7 July 2007. There is also a list of carefully curated articles that you can read if you are new to IPO, and are unsure of how the process works.

Tree Of Prosperity

If you find regular personal finance articles published by the finance blogs a tad too dry or common for you, or you want a unique perspective on issues that may or may not be finance-related, Tree Of Prosperity could just be the website that you need in order to spice up your life, or at least your daily reading.

Interesting, but controversial articles that the writer, Christopher, has written about over the past months include why people fail because they major in minor things and brutal truths about Polytechnic graduates.

You may not agree with some of these articles, but they sure would get you thinking if that’s what you want.

Financial Horse

Financial Horse galloped out from nowhere in 2018 to become one of Singapore’s most popular investment blogs – with close to 100 articles (by our estimate) written in its first year. Pretty impressive for a blog that has only one writer and who also has a full-time job.

While seen as a personal finance blog, the writer focuses heavily on investment-related topics, seeking constantly to demystify complex jargons that would be confusing for the average Singapore investor. Financial Horse won the SGX Orb Award in 2021 for the best GoTo.com website.

Cheerful Egg

Cheerful Egg is founded and run by Lionel Yeo, where he muses on life, money, and everything in between. He shares candidly on investment and personal finance matters in his own life, as well as occasionally giving us a glimpse into the ups and downs of living in fast-paced Singapore.

Lionel resumed blogging in 2022 and recent articles includes an honest, behind-the-scene review of how it’s living and working as a digital nomad in Bali.

Specialist

The Milelion

If you are into hacking credit card miles, then The Milelion is your guru. When he is not calling out influencers for irresponsible and unethical marketing, Aaron of The Milelion dives into detail how you can utilise credit cards to the fullest extent to earn the most amount of miles, and the many ways you can spend them.

Even if you have just a passing interest in credit card miles hacking, Aaron’s witty and sharp writing should be reason enough for The Milelion to be on your bookmarks list. For hard-core Milelion fans out there, you will be glad to know that Aaron also went onboard Milelion full-time in 2018.

99.co

If you require property-related content, 99.co has a section on their website dedicated to covering a favourite pet topic of Singaporeans: property.

From commentary on larger property market trends to home lifestyle topics, there’s something for everyone – whether you’re a property investor or an HDB homeowner.

The Simple Sum

As their name suggests, The Simple Sum wants to simplify finance and to make it easy for us to understand it. The site consistently creates content quality graphics content that makes it easy to not only read but also to visualise financial concepts. There are also video and podcast content for those who prefer to listen.

The Woke Salaryman

While most finance blogs in Singapore focus on writing, the Woke Salaryman is living proof that personal finance content in Singapore can be created and shared in a way that can be as entertaining and viral as an SGAG meme. Chances are that you would be more familiar with their Facebook Page, which now has more than 500,000 followers.

As of 2020, both its founders are working on The Woke Salaryman full-time so fans can look forward to viral content being produced more frequently.

DollarsAndSense Business

Started in 2020, DollarsAndSense Business is a website that is part of the DollarsAndSense Group. It focuses on finance topics that are meant to help entrepreneurs, business owners and self-employed individuals make better financial decisions for their business. We offer a comprehensive range of topics including scheme and policy-related matters, managing business cashflow and featuring entrepreneurs in Singapore

Aspiring entrepreneurs can also look forward to a range of content that are dedicated to inspiring the new generation of business owners in Singapore.

Stacked Homes

If like us, you are a huge fan of properties in Singapore, then Stacked Homes is likely a website that you may already be reading regularly. The site does fantastic property reviews of both new and completed developments in Singapore (including HDB estates) so we don’t have to visit every property show flat in Singapore. They also provide analysis of the real estate sector in Singapore so that property buyers can make better real-estate decisions for themselves.

PropertyLimBrothers

Besides creating engaging home tours that Singaporeans can’t seem to get enough of, PropertyLimBrothers also writes frequently on property-related content that any Singapore homebuyers will appreciate. Given their expertise in the property sector in Singapore, readers and potential homebuyers can get a glimpse into reading insights from a team that is familiar with property matters in Singapore.

Insurance

MoneyOwl

MoneyOwl is a financial adviser and fund management company licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). The company is a social enterprise under NTUC Enterprise Co-operative Limited.

On the website are valuable financial planning articles that users can read and understand for themselves before they commit to any financial products. Along with its bionic approach towards financial planning, MoneyOwl hopes to deliver to Singaporeans a holistic approach towards financial planning.

Financial Advisers

IFA.sg

Run by Wilfred Ling, a financial counselor and money coach who provides fee-based financial services to individuals in Singapore, IFA.sg provides invaluable financial planning insights from an experienced professional.

While Wilfred charges a fee for his financial planning services, you can gain free access to his huge stash of well-written financial planning articles – more than 500 articles from our estimate – written by him since 2005. Now that’s a lot of reading to do.

SGMoneyMatters

A fee-based financial adviser, Ivan started SGMoneyMatter in 2008. This was at a time where banks and financial institutions were pushing complex products to consumers.

Similar to IFA.sg, Ivan provides financial planning insights based on his experience and knowledge. He also specialises in retirement planning and financial planning for small business owners.

Social Media

Spiking

Some stock investors like to know what are insider trades are being made. For example, if Piyush Gupta is buying more DBS stocks, they want to know.

Spiking does exactly that. This homegrown app allows investors to track real-time verified transactions which are being made by insiders or big-time investors. The company also has a blog which regularly publishes articles relevant to this topic.

Investing Note

Rounding up our list is none other than Investing Note. Investing Note is a social media platform for stock investors to connect and follow each other, their write-ups, calls and recommendations. So if you don’t want to be a financial blogger, or deal with the problem of creating a website, you can still write and have people follow you.

Because it has many users writing articles, there are tons of content being published each day on investing note, probably more than you can realistically read. Think of this as similar to your Facebook feed during Facebook’s early days.

The smarter way to navigate through this is to sort the articles out by the investors that you want to follow, or the stocks that you are interested in. This way, you get the content that is relevant to you

Special Interest

YouTrip Blog (For frequent travellers)

Most Singaporeans love to travel. But loving to travel and knowing where the best places are to go isn’t good enough these days. You also want to be a financially savvy traveller. This is where the YouTrip blog is going to be immensely useful for you.

Just like any good travel blog, the YouTrip blog will write about places you should go and provide reviews of popular holiday destinations. However, it will also teach you tips so that you can maximise your travel budget. Because spending wisely on your travel means being able to go on holiday more often!

Due to the pandemic, YouTrip has started focusing on more e-commerce and lifestyle finance content so readers can look forward to more content beyond just travelling.

Lim Der Shing Blog (For entrepreneurs)

If you are a startup founder or an aspiring entrepreneur, Lim Der Shing, one of the co-founders of JobsCentral, runs a blog that we believe is a must-read for any Singapore entrepreneur. In his blog, Der Shing regularly provides his personal insights into startup companies in the region and around the world.

Chain Debrief (For cryptocurrency and NFTs fanatics)

For those who are into cryptocurrency and NFTs, Chain Debrief is a site that should be on your reading list if it’s not already there. The applications of crypto and blockchain go way beyond money, and the team at Chain Debrief firmly believes that crypto will fundamentally change the way the world works in the future. The aim of the website is to inform, educate, and connect the global investment community through its crypto guides, news, analyses, and opinion pieces.
