About iBullCapital
Broker Overview
iBullCapital is an online forex and CFD broker that presents itself as a trading-centric firm serving retail clients. The broker's registered office is listed in St Vincent and the Grenadines, while its operational headquarters is based in Port Louis, Mauritius at 4th Floor, Docks 4, The Docks, Caudan. According to corporate filings, iBullCapital was established on 27 February 2020.
Regulatory Status
The broker prominently claims regulation by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius under license number GB24203657. However, independent regulatory records indicate a license from the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) for forex trading. This discrepancy between the broker's claims and publicly available registers is a notable point for traders. The FSC Mauritius license is for an Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting), but the Vanuatu registration suggests a different regulatory framework. Traders should verify the exact scope and limitations of the license directly with the FSC Mauritius.
Trading Accounts and Conditions
iBullCapital offers five account types: MINI, Standard, VIP, ECN Classic, and ECN Gold. All accounts share a low minimum deposit of just USD 5 and a maximum leverage of 1:400. The standard lot size per trade ranges from 0.01 to 3 lots.
Account currencies are limited to USD and EUR. Execution is described as ECN/STP with claimed speeds under 100 milliseconds. Margin call is triggered at 100% and stop out at 50%, which are common industry levels for high-leverage accounts.
Swap-free Islamic accounts are available on request.
Platforms and Instruments
The broker exclusively offers the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. MT5 provides advanced charting, technical indicators, algorithmic trading via Expert Advisors, and copy trading. iBullCapital's instrument range includes metals (e.g., gold), commodities, and CFDs. The exact number of instruments or asset classes (like indices, stocks, or cryptocurrencies) is not specified on the website, suggesting a focus on commodities and metals.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Funding and withdrawal methods support three base currencies: USD, EUR, and GBP. The minimum deposit is stated as USD 100 (though account tables list $5, suggesting a discrepancy between the 'deposit' page and account opening page). The minimum withdrawal is USD 25. The broker's website does not list specific payment methods (e.g., bank wire, credit card, e-wallets) but notes that some options are country-specific. Withdrawals are processed in the account's base currency.
Target Audience
iBullCapital appears to target retail traders, particularly those seeking high leverage and low initial capital. The low $5 minimum deposit and 1:400 leverage make it accessible to beginners and small account traders. The broker also emphasises customer support and a 'customer-centric' approach, though independent reviews are scarce. The lack of published spreads, commissions, or detailed instrument lists may pose challenges for volume traders or those requiring transparency.
