Our verdict
MariBank suits Singapore residents who want a managed portfolio from a very small sum, with fees of 0.25% to 1.25% and a minimum investment of SGD 1. The trade-off is geography: the service is built for the SG market, not for readers in the UK or Europe.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Minimum investment of SGD 1 is among the lowest entry points in the robo-advisors ranking
- Management fees of 0.25% to 1.25% sit below the 0.5% to 1.5% band charged by Vivid Standard
- Regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
- Support covers chat, phone and email
Cons
- Management fees reach the top of 0.25% to 1.25%, above the 0.6% typical of robo-advisors
- A minimum investment of SGD 1 sets a very low floor, so fees bite harder on small balances
- Based in Singapore, so the service is aimed at that market rather than UK or European readers
Who it suits
- Readers in SG who want a professionally managed portfolio
- New investors who can start small and add over time
- Anyone comparing a digital bank with a low management fee
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers in the UK or Europe who need a service built for their market, where Axos Invest operates
- Anyone who wants a management fee of 0%, which is the rate eToro charges
- People who want the lower end of the business fee band, where Vivid Standard starts at 0.5% to 1.5%
Fees and costs
Mari Invest takes a management fee of 0.25% to 1.25%, and the rate depends on the balance and plan you hold. The entry point is a minimum investment of SGD 1, so the portfolio can be opened and funded at a size few managed rivals match. Nothing else is listed here, so the management fee is the figure to plan around.

Frequently asked questions
What does MariBank charge to manage a portfolio?+
MariBank's Mari Invest service takes a management fee of 0.25% to 1.25%, with the rate depending on the balance and plan selected. The band runs from the lower figure to the higher one, so a larger portfolio sits at a cheaper rate. There is no separate platform or dealing fee listed here, which makes the management fee the number to compare against other robo-advisors.
How much do I need to open a Mari Invest account?+
The minimum investment is SGD 1, which is a very low entry point for a managed portfolio. Most robo-advisors sit at a median of €60.06, so the floor matters for anyone testing a managed approach with a small sum. You can add to the portfolio as your balance grows.
Is MariBank regulated?+
Yes. MariBank Singapore Private Limited is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the authority responsible for supervising financial firms in Singapore. That supervision covers the firm's own conduct and the safeguarding of client holdings, which is the main check on where your money sits.
Which market does MariBank serve?+
MariBank is based in Singapore and its Mari Invest product is built for that market. Readers in the UK or Europe looking for a robo-advisor in their own country would be better served by a provider set up for their region, such as Axos Invest.
What support can I reach if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on chat, phone and email, so you can start a chat, call, send an email or work through the help centre. That mix covers quick questions about the app and slower questions about a holding or a withdrawal. Because MariBank is a digital bank, most of the everyday account work also happens inside its app.
Is MariBank cheaper than a business banking provider?+
On management fees, MariBank's 0.25% to 1.25% overlaps with Vivid Standard's 0.5% to 1.5% band but starts lower. The two serve different jobs, though: MariBank runs a managed investment portfolio for individuals, while the Vivid Standard figures are for business plans. For a managed investment, the fee band is the fair comparison.
Is MariBank the cheapest way to hold a managed portfolio?+
The Mari Invest management fee is 0.25% to 1.25%. The top of that band sits above the 0.6% seen across robo-advisors generally, while eToro charges 0% as its platform fee. The two are not like for like, since MariBank manages the portfolio and eToro leaves the choices to you.
