Capital.com Account Type

Capital.com offers a variety of account types to cater to different trading needs. The primary account type available is the CFD account, which is further classified into two categories: Retail and Professional accounts.

• CFD Account:
• Retail Account: Designed for individual traders, it allows access to a wide range of trading instruments with leverage up to 1:30 for major currency pairs. Retail clients benefit from negative balance protection and have a minimum deposit requirement of just $20.
• Professional Account: Suitable for experienced traders, this account provides access to higher leverage options, up to 1:500, but does not offer the same level of regulatory protections as retail accounts. To qualify, clients must meet specific criteria set by regulatory authorities, including having a financial portfolio exceeding €500,000 and at least one year of relevant trading experience.
• Swap-Free Account: Available for clients who cannot engage in regular accounts due to religious reasons, offering similar trading conditions without overnight fees.
