About DIH Capital Markets
Overview
DiH Capital Markets is the trading name of DiH Capital (SC) Ltd, a company registered in Saint Lucia. According to our records, the firm was established on 8 February 2025, making it a relatively new entrant to the online trading space. Its official website, dihcapitalmarkets.com, presents the broker as a platform for trading forex, commodities, indices and cryptocurrencies.
The company is registered at the Rodney Court Building in Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia — a jurisdiction known for light-touch financial oversight. Our records list a single licence from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), a Derivatives Trading License (EP) with licence number SD025. However, the status of this licence is marked as not specified in our files, and the company reports zero employees.
Regulation and Licensing
DiH Capital Markets holds a derivatives trading licence from the Seychelles FSA, which is a common offshore regulator for forex brokers. The licence number on file is SD025, and it is categorised as a Derivatives Trading License (EP). While this indicates some level of regulatory oversight, the Seychelles FSA is generally considered a light-touch regulator, and the licence status is not confirmed in our records.
We cross-checked the licence details against public registers, but the information available is limited. The company is registered in Saint Lucia, which adds another layer of offshore complexity. For traders, this means that regulatory protection may be weaker than with brokers authorised in major financial centres such as the UK, Cyprus or Australia.
Account Types
DiH Capital Markets offers three account types, according to the information on file. The Standard account requires a minimum deposit of $100 and offers leverage up to 1:500, with spreads from 1.0 pips and no commission. This account appears designed for retail traders seeking lower entry barriers.
The Pro account requires a higher minimum deposit of $1,000 and offers spreads from 0.0 pips, with a commission of $3.50 per lot. This suggests a more cost-effective structure for active traders. There is also an Islamic account, which is swap-free, though the minimum deposit and other details are not disclosed in our records.
Trading Platform and Instruments
The official website of DiH Capital Markets highlights a range of tradable instruments, including forex pairs, gold, oil, indices and cryptocurrencies. The site also mentions fast execution speeds and 24/7 customer support, though specific platform details are not fully disclosed in our records.
Industry databases suggest that the broker may operate on MetaTrader 5, a widely used platform in the industry, but we could not independently verify this from the official domain. The website displays live market data for major instruments, but the actual trading conditions, such as spreads and execution quality, remain unverified.
Funding and Withdrawals
Our records do not specify the deposit or withdrawal methods available at DiH Capital Markets. The website does not appear to provide detailed information on funding options, which is a common concern for new brokers. Traders should exercise caution and seek clarity on this before committing funds.
Without clear information on payment methods, processing times or fees, it is difficult to assess the convenience and reliability of the broker's financial operations. This lack of transparency is a notable gap in the broker's public profile.
Company Background
DiH Capital (SC) Ltd was founded in February 2025, making it approximately 18 months old at the time of this review. The company is registered in Saint Lucia, with a registered address at the Rodney Court Building in Rodney Bay. Our records indicate that the firm has no employees on file, which may suggest a small operational footprint or a reliance on outsourced services.
A press release from June 2025 claims that Madhu Shekhar Bhandari acquired the licences to operate DiH Capital Markets, with backing from a liquidity provider with over $10 billion in operational capacity. However, we could not independently verify these claims, and they should be treated with caution.
Risk Considerations
Given the broker's recent establishment, offshore registration and limited public information, traders should approach DiH Capital Markets with caution. The absence of verifiable user reviews and the lack of transparency on key operational details are red flags that warrant further due diligence.
Our risk assessment assigns a score of 53 out of 100, indicating an elevated risk level. This is based on the company's short operating history, its registration in a lightly regulated jurisdiction, and the lack of a verifiable website or social media presence. Traders are advised to conduct their own research and consider the potential risks before depositing funds.
