What Capital.com's licences actually mean for you

A licence is not a badge to hang on a website. What matters is which authority issued it, and whether that authority covers clients in the UAE. These are the authorities named in Capital.com's own disclosure:

  • Capital Market Authority (UAE) Covers the UAE

    The UAE's federal capital markets regulator, renamed from the Securities and Commodities Authority in January 2026.

  • Securities Commission of the Bahamas

    An offshore licence, with lighter requirements than onshore regimes.

  • Financial Conduct Authority (UK)

    The UK regulator, generally regarded as among the more demanding globally.

  • Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission

    Cyprus regulator operating under EU rules. A common licence for brokers serving European clients.

  • Australian Securities and Investments Commission

    Australia's corporate and financial services regulator.

Advertised spreads are the tightest available in ideal conditions — they widen around news and on less liquid instruments. Add overnight financing on positions held past the session, and currency conversion if your account is denominated differently.

Before you open an account

Five steps that take minutes and save a great deal later — they apply to any broker, not just this one.

  1. 1 Search the legal entity name in the regulator's public register, not the brand name.
  2. 2 Confirm the entity receiving your transfer is the one holding the licence. They are not always the same.
  3. 3 Read the withdrawal terms before depositing, not after. That is where undisclosed fees surface.
  4. 4 Use the demo account for weeks rather than hours, and record your results honestly.
  5. 5 Write down your risk per trade before depositing a single dollar.
