Capital.com Pauses
Onboarding New Clients in the UK
When
visiting the Capital.com website in the UK and attempting to open an account,
users are greeted with a message stating that the company has "made the
decision to pause onboarding new clients in the UK for now."
"We
have grown rapidly as a business, and we want to make sure that all our
systems, controls, products, and services are provided to the high standards
that are demanded by our clients, management, shareholders, and
regulators," the update from Capital.com added.
The company sent an email statement to Finance Magnates regarding the suspension, but it did not contain more details, only confirming the information found on the website. The move was made "to ensure" the company will "continue to deliver an uncompromised level of service to existing clients in the UK" as it experiences "rapid and unprecedented growth in new and emerging markets."
Although Capital.com did not specify a potential date when the onboarding of new clients might be resumed, it assured that existing UK clients with active accounts "will not be affected and can continue to deposit or withdraw funds, add additional sub-accounts, and trade as normal."

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
