Our take
Historically, the wealth-building opportunities afforded by investment have been reserved for those who already have money to spare, but Capital.com is working to change this. The company supplies a trading platform for everyday people to access trading opportunities and training resources, harnessing the power of technology to do so.
Founded in 2016, Capital.com is now a global company, boasting year-on-year growth since it was launched. Its platform gives users access to over 3,700 markets for investing directly in global stocks and ETFs, or trade derivatives across the world. Focused on removing the barriers of entry for trading, the company supplies 24/7 customer service, on top of learning tools such as rolling news feeds, access to a demo account, and a YouTube channel.
Capital.com is one of Europe’s fastest-growing investment-trading platforms and aims to continue its expansion whilst solidifying current operations. With an active and growing user base, that continued to grow despite a downturn in the market in 2022, the company is poised to maintain its successes into the future.
