- Track Record & Independent Evidence
- Weight 5%; coverage 50% (1/2 inputs). Quality 8.0 / 10; 4 / 5 weighted points before normalization and penalties.
Quality uses only assessable inputs. Entirely unassessed categories are excluded and remaining category weights are normalized; missing evidence is not zero quality. Coverage separately measures assessed input weight out of 100%. A gap penalty of 0.0, 0.3, 0.7 or 1.2 is applied before regulatory caps. Source strength affects confidence, not a direct multiplication of the quality score.

Broker Overview
The brand’s official regulation page lists several companies for different markets. The FCA and CySEC entries below are tied only to the specific entities named in those regulators’ records.
| Reviewed service | UK-facing public disclosures, with separate checks of UK and Cyprus regulator records. |
|---|---|
| Account entity | Depends on location and the customer agreement; do not infer it from the brand. |
| Products | UK site describes CFDs; local offerings may differ. |
| Account testing | No live account, execution, deposit or withdrawal testing by BrokerSafari. |
Regulation
Two entity-specific official records were located. Capital.com’s site also lists other group companies; a regulator record or licence associated with one company does not automatically cover another entity, product or jurisdiction.

Broker brands may operate through multiple companies. The applicable regulator, permissions, products, client protections and complaint route depend on the legal entity named in the account agreement and the customer’s jurisdiction. A group company’s licence does not automatically apply to another company.

Company Information
Capital.com’s regulation page identifies separate companies for the UK, Cyprus, Australia and The Bahamas. Entity choice depends on location and account terms; the provider’s group page is not a substitute for the applicable regulator record.
Trading Platforms
Capital.com describes a proprietary web and mobile trading service. This review has not tested sign-in, platform stability, order routing, device compatibility or any account-specific functions. Confirm which app and entity your agreement names.
Trading Products
The UK site describes CFD trading. Product availability, instrument list, leverage, client classification and restrictions vary by legal entity and residence; this page does not transfer UK terms to other jurisdictions.
Trading Conditions
The provider’s UK fee page explains dynamic spreads and overnight adjustments. It also describes guaranteed stop-loss charges when triggered and a retail foreign-exchange conversion markup. The deal ticket and current UK schedule govern; other regions may differ.
Fees
| Spread | Variable by instrument and market conditions. |
|---|---|
| Trading commission | The cited UK schedule states no trading commission for the covered CFD service. |
| Overnight funding | May apply to leveraged positions held overnight; varies by instrument and position. |
| Currency conversion | The cited UK schedule lists a retail markup of 0.7% of the spot forex rate; check current account terms. |
| Deposits and withdrawals | The cited UK schedule states no company fee, with method-specific minimums and potential third-party charges. |
Deposit & Withdrawal
The UK pricing page states no company deposit or withdrawal fee, but lists minimum transaction amounts and notes method-specific conditions. Payment processors, banks, currency conversion, account entity and current terms may affect the total cost. BrokerSafari has not tested a payment or withdrawal.
Research Summary
The FCA and CySEC records provide independent verification for two named legal entities. The provider’s wider entity list, platform, fee schedule and product claims are regional disclosures and should be checked against the account agreement.
Safety / Regulation Analysis
The official records support the authorization status of the named UK and Cyprus companies, but not the status of every group entity or the protections for every product. The UK regulator record itself cautions that specific activities and products must be checked. No conclusion about account suitability, performance or withdrawal outcomes follows from the licences alone.
Our View
Capital.com provides a public list of regional entities, and the FCA and CySEC entries checked here correspond to distinct companies.
The UK fee schedule is comparatively detailed, but the stated charges should not be applied to non-UK accounts. BrokerSafari did not test actual pricing or funding.
A score does not guarantee results or establish that a broker is safe. Every broker receives an evidence score. Unknown information is excluded from quality assessment, not treated as poor performance. Coverage, confidence and a modest evidence-gap penalty reflect research limitations; verified concerns and regulatory caps remain separate.
What Is Capital.com?
Capital.com is a multi-entity brand. Its public regulation page lists companies for several jurisdictions; the relevant counterparty depends on the account and customer location.
The UK site describes leveraged CFDs and publishes a detailed cost schedule. This review does not assume that the same terms apply to all countries.
Is Capital.com Regulated?
The FCA and CySEC records cited here identify two separate authorized entities. Confirm which entity will serve your account and inspect its current permissions before relying on a group-wide regulatory statement.
Company and Legal Entity
The provider discloses several regional companies. Only the UK and Cyprus entities are independently matched to official regulator records in this review.
A brand name, a company registration and a financial-services licence are different things. A company registration alone should not be interpreted as a financial-services licence. The legal entity in the customer agreement must match the relevant regulatory record and the services being supplied.
Markets and Trading Products
The UK-facing site describes CFD exposure to multiple markets. The specific product and instrument list must be confirmed for the account entity and customer classification.
Trading Platform
A proprietary web and mobile service is described by the provider. Platform operation and account eligibility have not been independently tested.
BrokerSafari has not independently tested the trading platform. A published platform name or download link is not a test of execution, account access, data security or the ability to recover money.
Fees and Trading Costs
UK costs include dynamic spreads and possible overnight funding; the UK page also specifies other charges. These terms are not presumed to apply to other Capital.com entities.
Deposits and Withdrawals
The UK pricing schedule states no company deposit or withdrawal fee and lists minimums. Payment-method and third-party costs may still apply; no withdrawal test was performed.
BrokerSafari has not independently tested withdrawals from Capital.com. Before funding an unfamiliar provider, review withdrawal eligibility, identity-verification requirements, fees, payment-recipient details and the entity responsible for the account. No withdrawal speed or success rate is asserted here.
Is Capital.com Safe?
The licences apply to their named entities and permissions. They do not by themselves establish customer eligibility, investor compensation or a risk-free outcome.
What Should Traders Verify?
- Match the exact website and legal entity against the customer agreement and payment recipient.
- Search the relevant regulator’s official register; compare the name, domain, reference number and contact details.
- Check whether the permission covers the intended service, client category and jurisdiction.
- Read the complete fee schedule, including overnight financing, conversion and account charges.
- Review funding, withdrawal and account-closure terms before sending money.
- Identify the complaint route and any investor-protection eligibility; do not assume these apply across a group.
Evidence Reviewed
A Last Checked date records when the source or its availability was reviewed. It is not a promise of continuous monitoring. A record found for a similarly named company is not transferred to the entity under review. No third-party rating or customer report is adopted as regulatory verification.
What We Could Verify
- The FCA record identifies Capital Com (UK) Limited under FRN 793714.
- The CySEC register lists Capital Com SV Investments Ltd under licence 319/17.
- Capital.com publishes regional entity and UK pricing information.
Information Still Unclear
- Which company would serve a particular customer without reviewing that customer’s account agreement.
- The current permissions of group entities not independently checked in this pass.
- Actual spreads, platform performance and payment outcomes; none were tested.
How BrokerSafari reviews brokers
| Evidence standards | BrokerSafari prioritizes primary evidence such as financial-regulator registers, legal disclosures and official company documents. Broker claims are attributed to the broker unless independently verified. Third-party reviews and user reports may provide useful context, but they are not treated as substitutes for regulatory records. |

This review is general research, not personal financial advice or a recommendation to open an account. Trading and investing involve the risk of loss. Leverage can increase losses, while regulatory authorization does not guarantee investment performance, withdrawal outcomes or provider solvency.

FAQ
The FCA and CySEC records verify two separate entities: Capital Com (UK) Limited and Capital Com SV Investments Ltd. Other group companies are listed by Capital.com but were not independently matched to regulator records in this research pass. Check the exact entity and permissions for your account.
The two official records provide evidence about the named companies, not a universal verdict for every Capital.com account or product. Verify the company in your agreement and compare it with the relevant official register.
Regulatory authorization does not eliminate market, leverage, operational or counterparty risk. Account protections and complaint routes depend on the named entity, product and customer status.
The provider discloses several Capital.com group companies. This review reports those disclosures but does not make a separate claim about ultimate ownership.
The reviewed fee information is UK-facing. Capital.com uses different regional entities and terms; identify your account company in the agreement.
Confirm the precise legal entity and domain in the account agreement, then check the relevant regulator’s own register for matching permissions and contact details. Read the fee schedule, withdrawal conditions and complaint procedure. Establish which jurisdiction governs the account and whether any investor-protection scheme applies. A group licence or a similarly named firm is not sufficient evidence for your particular account.
No. This page is desk research of the public sources and limitations identified in Evidence Reviewed. BrokerSafari has not opened or funded an account, placed live trades, measured execution or independently tested withdrawals from this provider. Company descriptions of platform features and transaction times are not firsthand findings. The numerical Evidence Score reflects documented research, not firsthand testing or assurance of operational reliability.
