Pros & cons

✓ Pros

  • Regulated by multiple tier-1 authorities including FCA, ASIC and CySEC
  • Commission-free CFD trading with a tight typical EUR/USD spread (~0.7 pips)
  • Very low $20 minimum deposit via card and a strong proprietary web/mobile platform
  • Wide instrument range (~5,585 symbols) across forex, indices, commodities, shares and crypto CFDs
  • MT4 and TradingView integration plus 24/7 customer support

✗ Cons

  • CFD-focused broker; ~78% of retail accounts lose money (provider-disclosed)
  • MT5 only in select offshore jurisdictions (e.g. Bahamas), not UK/EU, so MSP generally cannot be used
  • Does not accept US clients (no CFTC/NFA registration)
  • No Islamic (swap-free) account and limited real-asset/share investing
  • Crypto restricted or unavailable to retail clients in some regions (e.g. UK)

Full review

Capital.com is a CFD and spread-betting broker founded in 2016 and operating under multiple regulators, including the UK's FCA, Australia's ASIC and Cyprus's CySEC, alongside offshore entities (SCB Bahamas, SCA UAE, CMA Kenya, FSA Seychelles). It is known for commission-free pricing, a low $20 card minimum, and a well-regarded proprietary web and mobile platform, supplemented by MetaTrader 4 and TradingView. It offers roughly 5,585 instruments across forex, indices, commodities, shares and crypto CFDs.

Pricing is spread-based with no dealing commissions; typical EUR/USD spread is ~0.7 pips. Execution is as a CFD provider/market maker. Funding is flexible (cards, bank transfer, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Apple/Google Pay, crypto), with a demo and 24/7 support. Notably, MetaTrader 5 is not offered outside a few offshore jurisdictions, so Market Structure Pro generally cannot be used here.

Overall Capital.com is a strongly regulated, cost-competitive broker for retail CFD traders. As with all CFD providers the product carries high risk, and the firm discloses that the large majority of retail accounts lose money.
