Finding

UAE Category 5 permission held by SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C, effective 24 January 2024. The company's own site states it is authorised as a Category 5 introduction to financial services and financial consulting business. This is an introducing and advisory permission only: it does not authorise the firm to hold client money or to act as counterparty to leveraged trades, and it gives UAE clients no protection over deposits placed with the offshore trading entity.

Verification note

Confirmed on the SCA register as SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C (Introduction). corporates[] entry, name + jurisdiction (key 4): the register's company name "SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C" equals character-for-character our corporates[] name "SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C", whose country of incorporation (United Arab Emirates) is this register's own jurisdiction. Corroborating only: the record's printed email "info@sanabilcapital.ae" shares the domain sanabilcapital.ae with that corporate entry's website. The register prints no website field on this record, so the domain key was unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Act promptly and on paper. Request a full withdrawal in writing, keep dated copies of every request and reply, use the UAE telephone numbers and email address since the main domain is not resolving, and do not send further deposits or accept an offer to move funds into a new account or wallet while the situation is unresolved.

A Seychelles number, +248 4325584, and the email address info@sanabilcapital.com are published, along with two Dubai numbers, +971 4 577 6053 and +971 4 577 6097, and the email info@sanabil.ae for the UAE arm. Stated support hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 22:00 (GMT+4). There is no live chat. Note that email to the main brand domain may not deliver while that domain is not resolving, so the UAE contact points are the more reliable route.

Only a few years. Its operating period is short and neither the company register nor any page WIKILIX could read publishes a precise founding date, so we have left the establishment date blank rather than estimate one. The Dubai permission dates from January 2024.

No compensation scheme covers you. The Seychelles regime behind licence SD173 carries no client-money insurance and no statutory investor compensation fund, so if the firm became insolvent you would be an ordinary creditor of an offshore company. The UAE Category 5 permission does not extend any protection to funds you send to the offshore trading entity either.

WIKILIX could not establish the broker's country policy. The pages that would carry it, the client agreement, a restricted-countries page, the AML policy and the signup form's own country list, are all on the domain that does not resolve, and the group's reachable corporate site publishes no restriction of any kind. We therefore make no claim either way, and specifically do not claim the broker accepts everyone. Do not assume your country is served.

Two channels are described: a bank card wire transfer and cryptocurrency through a third-party processor. No fee, limit or settlement time is published for either, and no funding or withdrawal page could be read on the broker's own site. With the main domain and the client login both unreachable, there is currently no demonstrable way to submit a withdrawal request online.

The Standard and Premium tiers are advertised as commission-free and the VIP tier at 3 USD per side. No spread figures, account currencies or minimum trade sizes are published anywhere WIKILIX could read, so the true cost of trading cannot be established. A broker that does not publish its spreads should be treated as an unknown cost.

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, on web, Windows, Android and iOS, plus a proprietary mobile app. There is one MT4 server, SanabilCapital-Server, hosted in Israel. Note that platform download links have historically pointed at pages that do not load, and with the main site offline there is currently no working download route.

Up to 1:500 on the Standard and Premium tiers, and up to 1:200 on the VIP tier. Leverage at that level is characteristic of offshore regulation; an onshore European or Australian licence would cap a retail client far lower, and high leverage magnifies losses as readily as gains.

The entry tier starts at 50 USD. The Premium tier begins at 500 USD and the VIP tier at 3,000 USD. Because the broker's own site cannot currently be read, treat these as the last published figures rather than a live price list.

The domain www.sanabilcapital.com returns a DNS failure at its own edge provider rather than a web page, on both http and https and with and without the www prefix. We tried a direct fetch and a full browser and both were refused, so this is a broken or abandoned origin rather than a temporary block. The group's UAE corporate site at sanabilcapital.ae still loads, but it carries no trading information.

WIKILIX found no evidence of theft or of a fabricated licence, so we do not label it a scam. We do rate it high risk and unverified. The licence is genuine but offshore and held under a company name that does not match the trading name; more importantly the brand's main website does not currently resolve at all, and the signup and login paths published on its reachable corporate site are dead. That combination means no one can read the contract, see the fees or demonstrate a working withdrawal route, which is reason enough not to deposit.

The trading brand is operated by Sanabil Capital Ltd, recorded on the Seychelles Business Register under number C8434986, with a published address at IMAD Complex, Office 1, 3rd floor, Ile Du Port, Seychelles. A related UAE company, SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C, operates the Dubai-facing introducing business.

Partly. The trading business holds one offshore permission, Seychelles securities dealer licence SD173 from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, and that licence is in force. It is a light-touch offshore regime: there is no compensation scheme for client money and little practical recourse in a dispute. The group's UAE company separately holds Category 5 permission 20200000193 for introduction to financial services and financial consulting, which is an advisory and introducing permission and not authority to hold client money or to act as your trading counterparty.

Licence CP-0001194 was issued by Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), the financial authority for United Arab Emirates.
Sanabil Capital holds this SCA licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the SCA register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
The SCA register prints it under SANABIL INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES L.L.C, not Sanabil Capital. Licences are often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand alone can return nothing.
Wikilix rates SCA tier 2: a well-established regime with real supervision, usually with lower compensation limits than a tier-1 authority.
