Grand Capital — where it wins, where it loses
Grand Capital does not currently take a column outright against this field. It loses on no tier-1 entity. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
No column where Grand Capital takes the field outright.
Loses on
- no tier-1 entity
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
Licensing
Which entity, which regulator, which number
Tier decides how much weight a licence carries in any safety column. Each row links to the page it was read from.
| Regulator | Number | Jurisdiction | Tier | Entity | Read from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MISA (Mwali International Services Authority, Comoros) | BFX2024219 | Union of the Comoros | Tier 3 | Grand Capital Ltd | grandcapital.net |

Facts the comparison runs on
On the record

- The Financial Services Authority of Seychelles published a notice on 1 July 2024 stating that Grand Capital Limited has at no point been authorised under sections 46(1) and (2) of the Securities Act 2007 to deal in securities in Seychelles (https://fsaseychelles.sc/media-corner/regulatory-updates/scam-alert-grand-capital-ltd-fraudulent-company-the-fraudulent-company-and-unauthorized-use-of-website-the-unlawful-websites).
- Grand Capital's own site describes the company as an International Business Company registered in Seychelles and licensed in the Comoros.
- The Comoros/Mwali (MISA) regime is an offshore registration and is not equivalent to tier-1 supervision.

- Grand Capital's regulation page states client capital is held "in segregated accounts with top-tier international banks" (https://grandcapital.net/about/regulation/).

- headquarters
- minimum deposit

- EUR/USD spread
- account types
- segregated funds
- negative balance protection
- spreadEurusd — only advertised floors published ("spread from 0" on floating accounts, "from 1 pip" on fixed); no typical EURUSD figure
- negativeBalanceProtection — no NBP statement found in the Client Agreement (dated 13 Apr 2026) or the Risk Disclosure (checked 20 Aug 2026)
- maxLeverage per-account mapping — the trading-page table shows leverage rows up to 1:3000 while the site's own blog comparison lists Micro/Standard up to 1:500 and ECN up to 1:100; per-account mapping not resolvable from the page structure
- minDeposit per-account mapping — table column order (which of $100/$500 columns belongs to Standard/Swap Free/ECN Prime) not resolvable; brand minimum of $10 is stated on both about and trading pages
