Capital.com Review 2026

How safe is Capital.com?

In my opinion, what matters most here is that an international client deals with one licensed firm: Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB), and the protection on the account comes from that licence and nothing else.

1. Regulation

An international client who signs up through capital.com/en-int opens an account with Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, company number 209236B, an International Business Company registered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The firm is authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB) under licence SIA-F245, and its registered office is at #3 Bayside Executive Park, Blake Road and West Bay Street, P.O. Box CB 13012, Nassau. The site states that its products are not available in Malaysia, are not directed at Singapore residents, and are not offered to United States residents.

The Bahamas firm classifies each client as retail or professional, and retail clients receive the strongest safeguards under the Bahamas rules: fuller information on costs, an appropriateness check, and a margin close-out at 50% of initial margin. Client money sits in segregated accounts under the Bahamas client money rules, though these may be omnibus accounts pooled with other clients’ money, and part of it may be passed to third-party counterparties, including liquidity providers, to meet margin on client positions. Negative balance protection applies on an account basis, so a retail client cannot lose more than the account balance (terms clause 8.20). Retail leverage reaches up to 200:1 on currency pairs, and it can be set per asset class in the app and per order. The Bahamas terms and complaint policy name no investor compensation scheme, which is a real gap. A complaint goes in writing to [email protected] or by post to the Nassau office, is acknowledged within 3 business days, and receives a final response within 14 days, or a stated reason for delay and an estimate. With that final response, the client may then refer the complaint to the Securities Commission of The Bahamas.

Four other firms in the group hold their own licences: Capital Com (UK) Limited (FCA, FRN 793714), Capital Com Australia Pty Ltd (ASIC, AFSL 513393), Capital Com SV Investments Limited (CySEC, licence 319/17), and Capital Com MENA Securities Trading L.L.C. (UAE CMA, licence 20200000176). Protections such as the FSCS, the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund, the ESMA retail leverage limits, the ASIC leverage caps and the AFCA belong to those firms’ clients, and none reaches a Bahamas client. The group holds those licences, but you would be opened with the Bahamas firm, not those entities, and their protections would not follow. If you trade from Canada, the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) covers property a member firm holds for a client that is not returned after the firm’s insolvency, up to C$1 million across all general accounts combined, but it does not cover losses from a drop in value, and its policy does not name OTC CFDs or spot forex contracts as covered property.

AFSL is an Australian Financial Services Licence. FSCS is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

2. Reputation

The firm says it has operated since 2016, which makes it a relatively young firm in this space. That short history is worth keeping in mind when weighing the trust picture.

The broker has built a strong reputation within the industry, evidenced by numerous awards. It was named “Best Overall Trading Platform 2024” by the Online Money Awards and received multiple “Best In Class” distinctions as a TradingView broker.

Capital.com reaches over 740,000 traders globally with more than 100,000 active clients monthly. Their total trading volumes exceeded an impressive $1.7 trillion in 2024.

In Q2 2025 alone, client trading volumes reached $849.6 billion, a 29% increase from Q1, indicating strong and sustained client engagement.

3. Reviews

Capital.com has a very high average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 15,079 reviews. Across those reviews, traders praise the deposit and withdrawal speeds and the low spreads.

Some of the few complaints were related to withdrawal times, however the overall feedback was positive.

Our score for Capital.com is set against every other broker on Forex And CFD Broker Reviews.

My Verdict on Capital.com Trust and Safety

I rated trust 8.0 out of 10 because Capital Com Online Investments Ltd is licensed by the SCB and holds client money in segregated accounts under the Bahamas client money rules. The main drawback is that the Bahamas terms and complaint policy name no investor compensation scheme.

How this is measured

Google Ads reports how many times a month people searched each broker's brand terms, and the brokers are ranked on that figure alone.

A term counts for a broker only when that broker's own website holds the first organic Google result for it; bare brand words that any company could own are left out.

A month-on-month change prints only where the previous month reached 1,000 searches, because Google rounds smaller volumes.

The figures refresh on the 15th of each month with the newest month Google has published, and the first-result check repeats every quarter.

Capital.com at a glance

Capital.com spreads and fees

Capital.com operates primarily as a no-commission broker, which is a significant draw for many traders.

1. Standard Account Fees

For your standard trading account, Capital.com’s fee structure is straightforward: no commission on any of its financial markets. Your trading cost comes from the spread, which is the difference between the buy and sell price of an instrument.

Capital.com describes its spreads as dynamic, moving with underlying market conditions, and publishes no average or minimum figures. At 01:40 UTC on October 15, 2026, the international fees page listed EUR/USD at 0.7 pips, GBP/USD at 1.3, and USD/JPY at 1.2. Those live quotes are a snapshot from one moment, not an average, and they can move as conditions change.

No average or minimum EUR/USD spread is published, because the firm states that spreads are dynamic and adjust to underlying market conditions. I would find a published average helpful for a cost comparison, since snapshots alone make it harder to judge typical costs.

2. Raw Account Spreads

Capital.com does not offer a “Raw Account” or an ‘ECN’ style account. This means you won’t see a separate commission charge on your trades.

3. Raw Account Commission Rate

Since Capital.com does not offer a Raw Account, there is no specific “Raw Account Commission Rate.” They proudly state 0% commission on all trading positions. This simplifies the cost structure for you, as the primary trading cost is embedded within the spread.

4. Swap-Free Account Fees

Clients of the Bahamas firm can request a swap-free account in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. You can switch through [email protected] as long as no trades are open on the account.

5. Other Fees

Beyond spreads and overnight funding, you should be aware of other potential non-trading fees:

• The Bahamas terms charge nothing when an account goes dormant (clause 5.13). After a full year with no open or closed positions, the account counts as inactive, and the firm may shut it and return the funds to the original payment method.
• The Bahamas firm charges no deposit fee and no withdrawal fee, though the minimum withdrawal varies by method. The minimum withdrawal is US$20, EUR 20, or GBP 20 by bank card.
• Overnight funding is a daily fee of 4% a year, plus or minus the interest-rate benchmark, such as SOFR for USD or SONIA for GBP, charged at 21:00 UTC. Positions at 1:1 are exempt except Natural Gas, US Cocoa, VIX, and TRY forex pairs, and currency conversion carries a 0.7% mark-up for retail clients, built into the exchange rate.

My Verdict on Capital.com Trading Costs

I give Capital.com a 7 out of 10 rating for the category of trading costs because their 0% commission model and tight spreads are competitive. However, the lack of a fixed EUR/USD spread figure reduces transparency, since the firm describes its spreads as dynamic and moving with market conditions, even though withdrawals carry no fee. As a trader, you should still find overall costs reasonable compared to industry standards.

Deposits and withdrawals with Capital.com

Capital.com offers a variety of methods for deposits and withdrawals, though it’s important to pay attention to the fine print regarding your fees.

What is the minimum deposit at Capital.com?

The minimum deposit amount at Capital.com varies depending on the payment method you choose:

At the Bahamas firm, the minimum deposit is US$10, EUR 10 or GBP 10 by bank card or Apple Pay, and EUR 50 or equivalent by wire transfer.

Account Base Currencies

Accounts at the Bahamas firm can be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP and other base currencies the firm makes available, so a trader funding in any of these avoids holding a balance in an unfamiliar currency.

Deposit Options And Fees

Capital.com does not charge you any fees to add or deposit funds to your account.

They offer a wide range of deposit methods to cater to traders globally:

• Instant bank transfer
• Debit or credit card
• Bank transfer
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Skrill
• Neteller
• USDT (listed countries)
• MTN (Benin, Ivory Coast)
• Moov (Benin)
• Airtel (Gabon)
• Khipu, Webpay and Mach (Chile)
• PSE (Colombia)
• Orange (Ivory Coast)

Withdrawal Options And Fees

The Bahamas firm charges no withdrawal fee, and the smallest amount that can be withdrawn follows the payment method, with a US$20, EUR 20 or GBP 20 minimum by bank card and variation by method.

Here are the withdrawal methods and their associated fees:

The minimum withdrawal amounts for you as a trader are typically $20 USD/GBP/EUR for bank cards, but may vary.

A balance below the method’s minimum can only be withdrawn in full. Check the terms for your chosen withdrawal method on the platform before withdrawing, so nothing comes as a surprise.

My Verdict on Capital.com Funding

Funding gets a score of 8.0 out of 10 because deposits are free and the minimum starts at US$10 by card, which is accessible for most traders. The deduction is for unclear fee information in places, not for withdrawal charges, which carry no fee at the Bahamas firm.

Ease To Open An Account

In my opinion, Capital.com has put real effort into streamlining onboarding. To start the registration process, you need an email and password, with the option to use a Google or Apple account instead.

Afterwards, you go through a series of interactive questionnaires during the sign-up. The questions are designed to suggest the trading tools and account types that best fit your trading style.

Lastly, you will need to provide the industry-standard identity documents for verification before funding your account.

Capital.com trading platforms and app

Capital.com offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView for you to choose from, based on your trading style and needs.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

In my view MT4 strikes a clean balance, pairing a straightforward interface with a solid feature set.

Developed by MetaQuotes, MT4 is one of the most established platforms in the market, and is used by more retail traders than any other platform.

What MT4 offers:

• MT4’s interface is relatively intuitive, which makes it easy for beginners to learn.
• A massive community means readily available resources like custom indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs).
• Great range of charting tools, including 30 technical indicators and 24 analytical objects.
• It supports 4 pending order types (buy-stop, buy-limit, sell-limit, sell-stop) and three order execution types.
• You have the ability to build your own Expert Advisors with MQL4 for automation and custom indicators.
• There’s a large EA marketplace to buy ready-made Expert Advisors.

Device flexibility is a real strength of MT4, since it runs on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and the browser through MT4 WebTrader.

Why you might not use it:

• Limited access to stock CFDs, focusing mainly on forex and indices.
• While still widely used, MT4 shows its age compared to newer platforms (like MT5) with more advanced features.
• MT4 is no longer being actively supported or developed by MetaQuotes, which is an indicator that MT5 might entirely supersede it in the future.

MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

MT5 is available to clients of the Bahamas firm. It builds on MT4 with more charts, more analytical tools, a wider range of products, and faster processing. For traders who want depth of analysis alongside MT4’s simplicity, it is a natural step up.

Unlike MT4, which is designed for trading via decentralised exchanges (e.g., foreign exchange), MT5 is a multi-asset platform that offers more diverse market access.

In Capital.com’s case, this includes the addition of stock market CFDs, as these can be traded via a centralised exchange.

Additional features included with MT5 (in addition to those found on MT4):

• Advanced charting tools including 44 analytical objects, 38 technical indicators, and 21 timeframes (best for scalping).
• It has two extra pending order types not available with MT4, buy-stop-limit and sell-stop-limit.
• Access to real volume data unlike MT4 which limits tick volumes.
• Improved programming language with MQL5, which is said to be more manageable than MQL4 on MT4.
• Backtesting with 64-bit processing means MT5 has the power to transmit historical data related to a particular trading strategy, while MT4, which is 32-bit, can only backtest with a particular pair.

TradingView

In my view TradingView is a charting and analysis powerhouse, with a large library of indicators available alongside your trades. It is one of the platform options at Capital.com for clients of the Bahamas firm.

TradingView is one of the most widely used platforms for technical analysis and market screening, and it is easy to learn. Its charting depth pairs well with a broker platform for executing trades.

Key features of TradingView:

• Access charts with advanced technical analysis tools.
• You can have up to 8 charts per screen with different symbols, indicators, and time frames, with variations depending on your plan.
• You can spread charts across as many as six monitors, with up to 8 charts per monitor.
• More than 90 drawing tools and hundreds of trading indicators for in-depth analysis.
• Extensive Chart intervals from seconds to years.

Capital.com Web Trading Platform

I rate Capital.com’s own web platform highly, because it pairs intuitive controls with advanced functionality. It runs directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download or install. That combination suits both new traders and those who want deeper tools without leaving the platform.

Where MT4 and MT5 lean toward depth, the web platform keeps things simple, with its own trading tools never more than a click or two away.

The guaranteed stop-loss order stands out as the platform’s best feature, in my view. It promises that a position closes at the exact price set, whatever gaps, volatility, or slippage the market produces, and it exists only on Capital.com’s own platform. The fee applies only when the guaranteed stop is triggered, so an untouched stop costs nothing.

Capital.com Web Trading Platform features:

• Five chart formats and custom watchlists with in-app news.
• 100+ technical indicators across multiple timeframes.
• Risk management tools like negative balance protection, guaranteed stop-loss orders, and integrated margin alerts.
• Easy product access, supporting CFDs across forex, indices, commodities, shares, and crypto.
• Built-in AI assistance, plus post-trade analytics on entry patterns, exit data, and position sizing.

On the Web Platform, you can add a GSLO directly when you open or edit a trade ticket. You’ll see the stop-loss settings, and if you toggle the guaranteed option, the platform will confirm the price level.

Capital.com app

The mobile apps run on iOS, Android, and the Huawei AppGallery. The layout is straightforward, with trades and watchlist checks a few taps away rather than hidden deep in menus.

The mobile app packs most of what the browser platform offers, which makes it a real alternative rather than a cut-down companion.

Here’s what you can do on the app:

• Trade CFDs on 5,500+ markets, including forex, stocks, indices, crypto, and commodities.
• Get price alerts straight to your phone so you don’t miss key moves.
• Use over 100 technical indicators to analyse charts (surprisingly powerful for a mobile app).
• Manage your risk with stop-loss* and take-profit orders.

There’s also Investmate, Capital.com’s separate educational app.

Capital.com's app Capital·com: Trading & Finance is rated 4.7 out of 5 from 4,005 ratings on the Australia App Store, checked Nov 1, 2026.

Trading app by Capital·com is rated 4.5 out of 5 on Google Play (United States store) from 79.4K reviews shown worldwide, checked Nov 1, 2026.

Social Trading

While Capital.com doesn’t offer dedicated social trading platforms like some brokers (such as those with built-in copy trading networks like cTrader Copy or DupliTrade), their trading platforms allow you to have various forms of social interaction and automated trading.

You won’t find specific features like “Signal Start (Powered by Myfxbook)” or “Copy Trading by Capital.com” directly offered by the broker.

However, MT4 and MT5 have stand-alone Trading Signals service, which allows you to automatically copy orders made by other signal providers.

My Verdict on Capital.com Trading Platforms

Capital.com scores a 8.5 out of 10 due to the solid integration with MT4, MT5, and TradingView, which I find versatile and reliable. However, there’s no support for cTrader or proprietary platforms with built-in copy trading, which some competitors provide.

Leverage and margin at Capital.com

At the Bahamas firm, retail leverage is set by asset class: up to 200:1 on currency pairs, indices and commodities, and 20:1 on crypto and shares. Before weekends, earnings releases or geopolitical events, the firm may lower the maximum leverage it allows.

Here is the maximum retail leverage for clients of Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, licensed by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas:

• 200:1, currency pairs;
• 200:1, indices;
• 200:1, commodities;
• 20:1, crypto;
• 20:1, shares.

The EUR/USD page on capital.com/en-int shows a margin of 1.00%, or 100:1, so the help centre’s 200:1 is a maximum the account settings can reach rather than a default. You can set leverage per asset class in the app and per order, which gives more control over position sizing. Professional clients can reach up to 500:1 on major forex, major indices, gold and oil under the professional terms.

Capital.com execution speed and slippage

Capital.com was not among the 36 brokers in our 2026 execution test, so this review gives no measured execution time for it.

Markets you can trade with Capital.com

The product range at Capital.com is built on Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which means access to a wide range of global financial markets. In my opinion, the range is extensive.

CFDs

You can trade 5,500+ instruments as CFDs, which is a high number against what other brokers offer.

Here is a breakdown of the different CFDs they offer:

• Forex: You can access 120+ currency pairs, available for trading 24 hours a day, five days a week. This selection includes major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
• Shares: Capital.com offers CFDs on 4,500+ shares and 1,300+ ETFs, encompassing major companies such as Tesla, Amazon, and Meta. This allows you to speculate on the price movements of individual equities.
• Indices: You can gain exposure to entire stock markets, including prominent indices like the US 500 and FTSE 100, through CFD trading.
• Commodities: The platform facilitates trading on various commodities, allowing you to go long or short on energies (like oil), precious metals (like gold), and agricultural products.

Gold Trading with Capital.com

Gold is traded as a CFD in the same way as forex or shares. In my opinion, it is one of the more useful markets to have available on the Capital.com platform.

Two points stand out about gold at Capital.com:

• Gold trades 24/5, so positions can be opened and closed at any point during the trading week.
• Retail clients of the Bahamas firm can trade commodities at up to 200:1, and leverage can be set per asset class in the app to match your risk tolerance.

Cryptocurrencies

Capital.com is particularly strong in its cryptocurrency CFD offerings, providing access to over 500+ crypto CFDs.

The range covers 450+ crypto CFDs, with 534 listed on October 7, 2026, and includes popular assets like Bitcoin, Ether, Cardano, and Dogecoin. In my view, a broker that carries crypto CFDs alongside its other markets gives traders a worthwhile extra asset class to work with.

Retail clients of the Bahamas firm can trade crypto CFDs at up to 20:1. Professional clients can reach 100:1 on crypto under the professional terms.

Share Trading

You can trade CFDs on 4,500+ shares and 1,300+ ETFs. This means you can trade on the price movements of individual company stocks without the need to physically own the shares.

Spread Betting

Spread betting is offered only to UK clients of Capital Com (UK) Limited, not to clients of the Bahamas firm.

My Verdict on Capital.com Range of Markets

Capital.com scores 9.0 out of 10 for its market range, with 5,500+ instruments covering forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and 450+ cryptocurrency CFDs. This makes it one of the most diversified brokers I’ve reviewed.

Capital.com customer service, research and education

Capital.com states that it offers round-the-clock client support, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As a trader you have multiple channels to get in touch with Capital.com’s support:

• Phone
• Email
• Live Chat
• WhatsApp

My Verdict on Capital.com Customer Support

I gave customer service 9 out of 10 because support is available 24/7 by live chat, WhatsApp, email and phone. That round-the-clock availability is a real strength for an international client base spread across time zones.

Research and education

Capital.com has a remarkably well made and thorough educational segment. You will find all types of research, market analysis, and educational resources on the “Learn” tab. Some of the more important topics such as “Risk Management” and “Market Analysis” were separated into their own sub-pages.

It is quite rare for me to see a broker go the extra mile on this type of content, as many tend to skimp and only post generic information.

The educational material under the “Learn” tab is grouped by experience level, so beginners are not overwhelmed. In my opinion, that structure is one of the smarter things about the site.

The writing and guides are neat and well organised, with “Risk Management” and “Market Analysis” on their own sub-pages. The “Experienced traders” tab, however, is less deep than the beginner material.

My Verdict on Capital.com Education

I rate Capital.com’s education segment an 8 out of 10 as they provide strong beginner content, webinars, and the Investmate app for mobile learning. Still, advanced educational tools and structured learning paths could be more comprehensive.

Our final verdict on Capital.com

After a comprehensive review, I believe Capital.com offers a compelling and well-rounded experience for traders engaged in CFD and forex markets. My overall rating comes up to a high score of 74.8 out of 100.

The international account sits with Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, licensed by the SCB, while the group’s other firms hold licences from the FCA, ASIC, CySEC and the UAE Capital Market Authority. Each firm serves its own region’s clients.

You get access to 5,500+ CFD markets across forex, indices, commodities, shares and cryptocurrencies. The firm charges no commission, with costs embedded in the spread.

The platform line-up of MT4, MT5 and TradingView is a strong point, and the education is high quality for a broker. In my opinion, the main downside is the variance between spreads on some currency pairs.
