FCA
ASIC
CySEC
SCB

Fast-growing CFD broker with FCA, ASIC and CySEC oversight, an AI-driven trading-bias detection feature, and a clean proprietary platform. Strong choice for traders who want zero-commission with tight spreads.

CFI FinancialTrust 8.4/10
FCA
CySEC
DFSA
JSC

Multi-region CFD broker with entities in Cyprus, UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, and previously Oman. Offers tight spreads on forex, indices, commodities, and equities through MT4/MT5 plus their proprietary platform. Important regulatory notes: on 18 September 2025, Oman's Financial Services Authority cancelled CFI Financial LLC's capital-market licence for AML/CFT breaches and out-of-scope activity. Earlier, in May 2022, the CySEC entity was fined EUR 150,000 for AML/CFT breaches. CFI's DFSA (Dubai), CySEC (Cyprus, post-fine), and other regional licences remain active per current public records, but the dual AML enforcement history is worth weighing. Existing clients should verify which entity holds their account.

Quick verdict

  • Trust: Capital.com has the higher trust score.
  • EUR/USD spread: CFI Financial is tighter on EUR/USD.
