This brokerage powerhouse started in 2016 as CFD Global and it has been re-branded into CAPEX.com starting with 2018. Since then, it develops and distributes to its clients innovative products that let you trade and invest with minimum effort.
Some say it has surpassed the broker status, as its business model of constantly bringing innovation to the financial sector makes it lean more towards the fin-tech space. Furthermore, recent official statements by spokespersons at CAPEX.com say the broker is about to roll out an all-encompassing mobile app, dubbed the SuperApp.
Its purpose, as CAPEX.com states, is to allow you the comfort of having every aspect of financial needs covered under one roof. And that’s surely an interesting feat to bring in a world where tight financial regulation turned the money handling aspect into a game of checkers.
Licenses and business reputation
CAPEX.com is currently spread across 4 regions: Europe, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Latin America. It’s regulated by top-financial authorities such as CySEC – Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, ADGM – Abu Dhabi Global Markets, FSA – Financial Services Authority Seychelles and FSCA, which stands for Financial Sector Conduct Authority – South Africa.
Probably trying to bring as much transparency to its business as possible, CAPEX.com also got registered with numerous financial authorities throughout Europe, such as: ASF in Romania, CNMV in Spain, BAFIN for Germany and CONSOB to cover Italy.
What can you trade
You can trade a wide range of financial instruments with CAPEX.com. For example, they allow you to open CFD trades on over 2100 instruments: popular forex pairs, commodities, indices, bonds, stocks and even cryptocurrency.
Besides, they have a line of innovative financial products that allow you to trade fractional shares with leverage – StoX, or trade directly a basked of pre-selected shares of the same industry – ThematiX.
Since 2022 they’ve also added another service to their portfolio – CAPEX Invest. This one lets you buy and own more than 5000 real shares from 10 major international exchanges, as opposed to just trading them for a profit.
At CAPEX.com you will trade and invest through two platforms: MT5 and the CAPEX WebTrader, both of which are updated in real-time with the latest market news and developments. Their platforms are really user-friendly as the company is focused on making your financial experience with them as smooth as possible.
Accounts available
CAPEX.com offers mainly 6 types of accounts: Basic, Essential, Classic, Original, Premium, and Signature. Each one of these account types offers different specs and features, so you have plenty of options available if you want an account that suits your specific needs.
Withdraw and deposit
I’ve withdrawn many balances over the past years from CAPEX.com and I can tell you’ll always find the correct balance being transferred to your bank account. In addition, their depositing method is straightforward and easy to understand.
In terms of minimum deposit, you’ll enjoy a rather small entrance threshold to the markets with this broker. Moreover, they oftentimes have promotional campaigns that offer you free shares or ultra-reduced taxes and commissions on their services.
Pros and Cons
Cons: Current mobile app does not support high-end functions / Do not accept clients from the US / Do not accept clients from Japan /
Pros: Easy to navigate website / Multilingual Website / Demo Account / User Friendly Mobile App / Powerful Integrated Tools for Reseach and Market Analysis / Economic Calendar available directly on their website / Security for client’s funds through top local banks and segregated bank accounts / Ultra-transparency in its business conduct / Huge range of assets you can trade or invest in / Great leverage applicability / Regulated by top financial authorities / Small or inexistent spreads and commissions
Evaluation
All in all, you should try CAPEX.com’s financial services at least once. They clearly differentiate themselves from other brokers out there mainly because of two things: the truly numerous ways in which you can trade and invest with them and the customer-centered approach they display on all levels of their service.
They do possess some chinks in their armor though – their current mobile app doesn’t support some advanced functions that would allow an expert trader more control on the high-end of their trading. But for a regular trader, the app is more than enough.
Furthermore, there’s the talks about the upcoming SuperApp that will allow you maximum degree of control over your financial life. And that solely provides sufficient ground to give it a shot.
