Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Start Capital is on the register
Despite claiming an established international reputation, Start Capital provides no verifiable regulatory credentials on its website. The company claims to be based in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. However, as far as we know, there is no regulatory authority in the country that oversees forex trading. Furthermore, we were unable to find any record of the company’s registration even with the Marshall Islands Registry (IRI), the organization which provides company registration services there. Therefore, Start Capital is believed to operate illegally and likely to be a scam.
If you have money with this broker

- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
