Frequently Asked Questions
Is Capital.com regulated?
Yes. Capital.com is authorised by FSA, issued to the entity Capital Com (SV) Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official FSA public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Capital.com in Pakistan?
The cover charge is $20, the smallest amount Pakistan traders need to open a live account with Capital.com under FSA rules.
What leverage does Capital.com offer in Pakistan?
In Pakistan, FSA rules cap Capital.com at 1:500 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Capital.com safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Capital.com cooks under FSA. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
