Our Story
Our vision
For decades financial services have been operated by the rich, for the rich. The founders at Capital.com wanted to change this. Our mission was to disrupt traditional finance to make trading more accessible.
We set out to give people access to financial markets. From this simple idea emerged a revolution — a revolution led by ordinary people, taking the reins and making a difference to their lives, their financial futures and most importantly, the future of the world.
So when retail investors began rallying behind Tesla to help create one of the world’s most valuable companies, they weren't just investing in a growth stock with revolutionary technology, they were investing in the promise of a better future — a more sustainable future. And while climate activists and politicians play their part, Tesla’s share price was the defining feature in an entire fossil-fuel run automotive industry going electric.
And Capital.com has been right there all along, supporting and driving the retail-investor revolution. Since our launch in 2016, we have harnessed the power of technology to open up trading and investment options — in a way that would eradicate the old-fashioned and out-dated barriers to entry.
Today, our global web- and app-based platform supports more than 4 million traders in their quest to make a difference to their lives, their financial futures and the world.
Knowledge is Power
“We are not born investors, we become investors”. That was the simple message rooted in our minds when we began developing Capital.com. With the right support, anyone can learn to trade.
To make financial markets accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of experience, we knew we had to help people learn how to trade.
This is why education is central to our platform.
One of the first things we did was develop a financial trading app, Investmate; a pocket guide to market and trading literacy.
This was just the beginning. We now support traders with a host of practical learning tools including a real-time demo account, rolling-news feeds, as well as more than 5,000 pages of financial content and analysis.
While our YouTube trading channel is rethinking the way markets can be unpacked and explained for an entirely new generation, with up-to-the minute market insights, tutorials and multilingual explainers — giving our users the tools, strategies and confidence to trade.
