Comprehensive review

Capital.com (Capital Com Online Investments Ltd) is a large international forex & CFD broker established in 2016 and registered in the Bahamas. The broker offers a very large selection of trading instruments, and offers high leverage of up to 1:200 on its most liquid trading instruments.

Worth noting about Capital.com is that although this broker is registered offshore, it is still regulated by a government entity, namely the Securities Commission of the Bahamas. This means that traders can at least get some peace of mind knowing that there is an entity to turn to in the event the broker for instance goes out of business.

One great benefit with Capital.com is the focus on transparency that this broker has. It clearly explains on its website how it makes money, and makes it easy to understand what services it charges its users money for, and what services are free.

Moreover, we also like the focus on trader education that this company has. Capital.com's founder Viktor Prokopenya states on the broker's website that “free and extensive education” is a priority for the company, and that a lack of experience should not be an obstacle to begin making money as a trader.

Another thing that stands out with Capital.com is the huge selection of trading instruments that the broker has to offer. Most notably, this includes a selection of more than 5,000 single stocks listed in Australia, Canada, the US, the UK, the EU, Russia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. In addition, Capital.com also offers trading in stock indices, commodities, as well as more than 120 forex pairs and around 150 crypto pairs - more than almost any other broker we have reviewed here on FX-List.

The assets offered for trading by Capital.com can be traded on a variety of platforms, including the broker's own web platform, the classic MetaTrader 4 (MT4), the web-based charting platform TradingView, and on mobile trading apps for Apple and Android devices. Among these, the possibility to trade directly from TradingView is probably the most unique for this broker, given that only a handful of forex & CFD brokers globally currently offer this option.

In addition to the platforms mentioned above, Capital.com - like many other forex brokers - also offers an API solution for traders who want to connect using other third-party trading platforms.

Once signed up with Capital.com as a new user, it's time to fund the trading account. For this, the broker accepts major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and international bank transfers. Unfortunately, Capital.com still does not support deposits and withdrawals with crypto like many of its competitors do.

To reach Capital.com's customer support, clients can use live chat or phone for real-time support. As usual, the broker's support team is also available via email for less urgent matters. Unfortunately, the broker does not state anywhere what its support team's working hours are, which makes us doubt that they offer 24-hours support.

All in all, there is no doubt that Capital.com is a serious player in the forex broker industry, with many years of extensive experience. The company is fully regulated in the Bahamas, which adds credibility to it as a company and means the risk is low that anything unexpected will happen with client funds. For traders looking to trade a wide variety of instruments on either MT4, TradingView or a dedicated web platform, Capital.com could therefore be an interesting broker to consider.
