Capital.com Opens Registration to Russia and CIS Traders

Capital.com is opening its service to Russia and CIS ‎‎residents to support an increasing client base and cater to the demand for online trading services in the region.

The addition of support to Russian clients meets the firm’s commitment to developing a strong web presence with a local approach to serving its clients in this jurisdiction. This includes its machine learning technology, dubbed ‘eQ,’ which the company says it can improve traders’ capabilities by monitoring their activity for cognitive biases.

In addition, the delivery of a trading environment to the CIS market goes hand in hand with the company’s overall strategy to expand in the region, one of the largest markets for Capital.com.

“We are proud to open access to our platform for traders from the CIS countries and set ourselves the task of providing customers with the best trading conditions in the world. Fast execution of orders, powerful analytical tools and an impeccable reputation are only part of what we are ready to offer our customers,” said Ivan Govan, CEO of Capital.com
