The signup form lets you register from the United States, Japan, Mauritius, the UAE or India. The footer on every Adam Capitals page says it does not serve residents of those places. Five of the places it names are still on the menu.
Why this matters
If you live in one of those countries, Adam Capitals' own words say it does not serve you. The wording on the UAE and India can be read two ways, and nothing on the site resolves it. No document says what happens to your money if your residence turns out to be the problem.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.5The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.NewThis wording was not in the version we read last time. It was added or changed since then.
Regional restrictions: AdamFxCapitals Ltd brand does not provide services to residents of the USA, Japan,British Columbia, Mauritius, Quebec, FATF, UAE and India black listed countries.
Buried at section 40 of 42 in the Trading Terms, 95% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the Trading Terms. This clause sits in section 40 of 42, about 95% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC have to check where a client lives before opening an account, and may not take on clients outside the territory they are allowed to serve. Adam Capitals puts the exclusion in a footnote and accepts the same countries on its form.
Adam Capitals is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.The exclusion is published only as a footnote, and the account opening form does not enforce it. That leaves your eligibility unresolved at the moment you deposit.
- Worse together with Exhibit 3Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.If your country turns out to be the problem, no term says when or whether the money comes back.
