Capital.com Security
Capital.com is regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority in the UAE and the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, as well as the Securities Commission of The Bahamas, Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, and Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Capital.com implements negative balance protection for clients, so trading losses can never exceed the funds on the account.
Capital.com Deposits and Withdrawals
You can fund your Capital.com trading account with a debit card, credit card, or wire transfer. The minimum deposit is 20 USD/EUR/GBP or 80 AED for bank cards.
The minimum withdrawal amount is 50 USD/EUR/GBP or 190 AED. If you have under 50 USD/EUR/GBP or 190 AED on your trading account, you can only withdraw the whole balance.
Capital.com Fees
Capital.com charges fees on spreads, overnight positions, guaranteed stop-losses,* and currency conversions.
Spreads are dynamic and change depending on the underlying market conditions.
The overnight fee – an adjustment that applies when you hold a position overnight – will either be paid or received, depending on whether you’re long or short. Your 1:1 leverage CFD positions on shares and cryptocurrencies are not subject to overnight funding.
A guaranteed stop-loss (GSL) closes the trade at exactly the price level you specify, with no risk of gapping or slippage. Your loss never exceeds the predicted level, but you’ll pay a small fee if your GSL is triggered.
And finally, when you trade on a market denominated in a different currency to your account, you will pay a conversion fee (0.7% of the spot forex rate).
*Not all stop-losses are guaranteed.
