XM vs Capital.com for residents of Oman

This is a filter, not a ranking or a recommendation: lists are ordered by regulatory profile, then alphabetically. We have not verified that any broker shown accepts residents of Oman.

Oman’s regulator is the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which publishes a list of companies that are not licensed. Search it for the exact company name and web address you are dealing with, and ask the broker which company would hold your account.
