Capital Wave has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: [email protected].
Capital Wave seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|API access|No hidden fees|Wide product range
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
I am in a dispute with Capital Wave over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Stable platform|Wide product range|Automated trading options|Fast support response
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Wait times can be long during peak hours
The so-called education at Capital Wave is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted for a couple of months now thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Economic calendar|Two-factor authentication
Cons: No fractional shares|Charting tools need more indicators
I joined Capital Wave after seeing their ad online and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Regular updates|Stable platform
Cons: Research section could be deeper
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Capital Wave said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Competitive fees|Instant funding
Cons: Website design could be more modern|Wish they had more educational resources
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Capital Wave recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Helpful community forum
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
I was contacted by Capital Wave through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
I referred a friend to Capital Wave after reading several online reviews. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Easy to use platform|Market news feed|Clean UI
Cons: No crypto staking
I was about to invest with Capital Wave but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Conduct Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Flagged by Financial Conduct Authority|Cannot verify credentials
