Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about Capta Trade: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
Capta Trade (CaptaTrade) is an Arabic-language trading brand operating at captatrade.com, aimed almost entirely at retail clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf. It offers CFD-style trading in currencies, gold and oil, metals, shares and cryptocurrencies through its own in-house web and mobile platform rather than MetaTrader, and adds copy trading, funded-account challenges and an educational academy alongside it.
Regulation is the central problem with this brand. The site does not name an operating legal company anywhere - not in the footer, not in the About page, not in the Terms and Conditions - and publishes no registered office address. What it does publish is a Saint Lucia commercial registration, number 00074-2025, issued under the International Business Companies Act, which it presents as authorisation to broker contracts for difference. A company registration under an IBC act is corporate existence, not financial supervision: it involves no capital requirement, no client-money segregation, no conduct rules and no compensation scheme. The English footer goes further and states the brand is "regulated by the Saint Lucia Securities and Commodities Commission (ECCB)" under that same number, while the Arabic help centre attributes supervision to a Saint Lucia "FSRA". Those two supervisory bodies are described inconsistently, rest on the same registration number, and WIKILIX found no forex or CFD licence for this brand from any financial regulator. A search of the official Saint Lucia Registry of Companies and Intellectual Property for "Capta Trade" returned no record, and a broader search for "Capta" returned only unrelated companies.
What it offers. Two live accounts are published: Standard, from a 100 USD minimum deposit with spreads from 1.6 pips and no commission, and Professional, from 1000 USD with spreads from 0.0 pips. Minimum trade size is 0.01 lots on both. Maximum leverage is not disclosed. Deposits and withdrawals are advertised through Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Mada, Binance Pay, Tether and bank transfer, with withdrawal requests reviewed within 24 to 48 hours on business days. Support is offered in Arabic and English via live chat, ticket and email, advertised as available around the clock, with a UAE telephone number.
Who it suits, and the caveats. Clients depositing here have no regulator to complain to and no protected-funds arrangement, because no supervisory licence has been established. Marketing claims add to the concern: the brand states more than 4,300,000 traders have used it, while the site itself only dates from 2025, and the minimum deposit is quoted as 50 USD in one place on the English site and 100 USD in the account table. Anyone considering it should treat funds sent as fully at risk, and should compare the offer against brokers licensed by an onshore authority that publishes a searchable public register.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Capta Trade
The brand appears new. The website copyright reads 2025, its content and image assets are dated 2025, and its terms carry a February 2025 last-update date. That makes the claim of more than 4,300,000 traders very difficult to reconcile with its actual operating history.
No protection could be established. The site describes encryption, two-factor authentication and reputable banking partners, which are security measures rather than financial protections. There is no evidence of segregated client accounts, no investor compensation scheme and no regulator to escalate a dispute to.
WIKILIX rates it high risk and likely a scam. The combination is what drives that: no verifiable financial licence, a company registration sold as if it were supervision, two mutually inconsistent regulator names in its own published legal text, no named operating company, no registered address, no entry in the official Saint Lucia company registry, and a claim of more than 4,300,000 traders on a brand whose own material dates from 2025. None of that proves client funds have been misappropriated, but it removes every mechanism a client would normally use to recover them.
Support is offered in Arabic and English through the website live chat, a support ticket in the help section, and email at support@captatrade.com. The legal pages give info@captatrade.com and a UAE telephone number, +971 4 266 9800. Support is advertised as available around the clock.
The site is written primarily in Arabic, shows a Saudi Arabia region selector, publishes client testimonials from Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah, Abha and Dubai, and lists the Saudi Mada debit scheme as a funding channel, so the Gulf is clearly its target market. It holds no licence from any Gulf financial authority, and marketing to residents of those countries without local authorisation is itself a risk signal for a prospective client.
The brand sells funded-account challenges: a client pays a fee to attempt an evaluation and, on passing, trades a firm-funded account. The English site gives an example of a 100.00 USD funded account carrying an 800 USD fee. Challenge fees are paid up front and are not deposits you can withdraw.
The site advertises shares, currencies, gold and oil, metals and cryptocurrencies. It does not publish instrument counts, a contract specification table or swap rates, so the exact product range cannot be verified from what it publishes.
The Standard account is advertised with no commission and spreads from 1.6 pips. The Professional account is advertised with spreads from 0.0 pips; the English site says no commission on it, while the Arabic site describes it as carrying "the lowest commissions". Those two statements do not agree.
The help centre states that withdrawal requests are reviewed and approved or rejected within 24 to 48 hours during business days, Monday to Friday, after which the funds leave and arrive according to the receiving bank's own processing time. WIKILIX has not been able to test that against a supervisory complaints record, because no regulator oversees the brand.
The site advertises Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Mada, Binance Pay, Tether and bank transfer. It does not publish a fee schedule, minimum or maximum amounts per channel, or firm processing times for individual methods. The homepage advertises zero commissions and zero fees as a headline claim.
Its own. The site states plainly that trading is done through its in-house platform without recourse to MetaTrader or any third-party application, with charts and indicators connected to global markets. Apps are published for iOS (8.4 or later) and Android (4.6 or later). There is no MT4, MT5 or cTrader offering, so no independent platform audit trail exists for order execution.
The official site does not publish a maximum leverage figure for either account, so WIKILIX records none. Trading at leverage on a brand with no established regulator carries the full risk of loss with no supervisory backstop.
The Standard account requires 100 USD and the Professional account 1000 USD, according to the account tables on both the Arabic and English versions of the site. Note that the English homepage statistics block quotes 50 USD as the minimum deposit, which contradicts its own account table.
The site does not say. No operating legal company is named in the footer, the About page, the Terms and Conditions or the privacy policy, and no registered office address is published. A search of the official Saint Lucia Registry of Companies and Intellectual Property for "Capta Trade" returned no record, and a broader search for "Capta" returned only unrelated Saint Lucian companies. The only corporate identifier the brand offers is the number 00074-2025.
No forex or CFD licence from a financial regulator could be established for Capta Trade. The site publishes a Saint Lucia commercial registration, number 00074-2025, issued under the International Business Companies Act, and presents it as authorisation to broker contracts for difference. That is a company registration, not supervision. The English footer additionally claims regulation by a "Saint Lucia Securities and Commodities Commission (ECCB)" under the same number, while the Arabic help centre names a Saint Lucia "FSRA" instead. Those claims are mutually inconsistent and rest on the same registration number.
