Capital.com, a global fintech trading platform, has received a Capital Markets Services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), marking its first licensed presence in Southeast Asia. The Singapore entity, Capital Com Securities (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., will commence client onboarding in early 2027 under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Tony Lim, who brings over 30 years of experience in Singapore’s capital markets.
- Licence Type: Capital Markets Services licence covering dealing in securities and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives
- Client Onboarding: Early 2027
- Office Location: 9 Battery Road, Raffles Place, Singapore
- Key Regulatory Features: Singpass MyInfo identity verification, mandatory two-factor authentication, full client verification before trading
- Founded: 2016
The platform integrates market information, educational content, and risk-management tools designed to help investors filter market noise and make informed decisions. The Singapore office will house teams across compliance, operations, client services, and marketing. Capital.com plans to participate in the Singapore FinTech Festival from November 18-20 to establish relationships within the local financial services ecosystem.
Singapore clients will access the full suite of Capital.com decision-support features upon launch, including market insights, in-app educational explainers, charting tools, and risk controls such as stop-loss orders. The company is already licensed in the UK, EU, Middle East, Africa, and Australia, and has consistently entered new markets through local regulatory frameworks. Founded in 2016, Capital.com operates a technology-led platform serving traders and investors globally.
Singapore sets a high bar for how financial services are delivered, and the MAS licensing process examines every part of a firm’s governance, controls and capital. Holding a licence here means operating to that standard locally, with supervision of how we onboard clients, communicate risk and safeguard client assets. This licence affirms how we approach new markets, in step with local regulation and with a focus on sustainable, long-term growth. Our Singapore entity joins a group of regulated businesses built on the same principle, that access to markets should come with the structure and transparency people need to make informed decisions.
