We founded Capital.com with one simple idea in mind - there should be no barriers to financial trading.
For too long now, finance, and in particular trading, has been restricted to the elitist world of large institutions and city traders. Fast-forward to today and a whole new generation of investors brought up on mobile technology and the internet has emerged , promising to change the face of traditional investing forever.
To give everyone the chance to learn to trade and invest for themselves we built a platform that was engaging, informative and simple to use. We focused on three strategic enablers to achieve our goal -education, fair and transparent pricingand cutting-edgetechnology.
Prioritising free and extensive education
We know that each trader is different and that a lack of experience or prior knowledge should not be an obstacle. With the right training and education tools, everybody can begin to trade. This is why we offer anyone who wants to learn to trade a free financial trading app that they can use on the go -Investmate - and host webinars and tutorials on one of the industry’s most subscribed to YouTube trading channels,Capital.com TV.
Promising fair and transparent pricing
To make trading and investing affordable and ultimately more accessible to everyone, we are committed to transparent pricing with no hidden fees.Whether trading global markets using derivatives, we promise to provide our traders with clear pricing at zero commission and with competitive spreads.
Looking ahead, we will continue to make improvements to our platform to ensure our clients always receive a seamless user experience and harness the best technology so that more people can reach their full potential as investors and traders. If you share our values and goals then we would invite you to come on this journey with us. We are just getting started and the best is yet to come.
Best wishes
