Eightcap’s European offer uses Standard and Raw CFD accounts connected to MetaTrader 5 or TradingView. The published contract pages make it possible to compare spread, commission, contract size and leverage on the same instruments, while the group’s UK and Australian companies remain separate legal entities.[4][5][1]

Withdrawal processing and payment ownership
Sections ↑Eightcap EU separates its review of a withdrawal from the provider’s delivery time. A request can require identity or address documents, so a method described as fast is not a guarantee of immediate receipt.[10]
EU cash movement conditions
| Item | Published rule | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Review and arrival | Review normally one to two business days; method delivery commonly one to five business days after processing. | Allow for both stages. |
| Destination | Return to the original deposit source; card refunds precede bank-wire payment of remaining profits. | Multiple cards can result in split refunds. |
| Closed card or bank account | Contact support with official evidence that the original account/card has closed. | Alternative routing requires verification. |
| Fees | No internal withdrawal fee stated; Eurobank row separately lists EUR4–10. | Processor, intermediary and conversion costs remain possible. |
Payment accounts must belong to the trading-account holder. A joint-account payment is accepted only where a named depositor matches the trading account. Third-party payments and direct cash deposits are not accepted. Available methods and currencies must be checked in the client portal.[9]
Client-money terms and account administration
Sections ↑The accessible EU agreement places client funds in segregated accounts and identifies Investor Compensation Fund membership, subject to client classification and the separate policy. It also reserves powers over inactive accounts: the 2023 file describes a three-month inactivity period and a possible fee set by the costs policy. These are contractual provisions, not a verified current fee amount; use the agreement and tariff supplied with the actual account.[12]
EU service and document routes
| Item | Published rule | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Account support | [email protected]; +357 25 060 006. | EU support rather than an Australian or offshore contact. |
| Service coverage | Multilingual support advertised 24/5. | Market holidays and individual payment processing are separate. |
The EU legal-document hub lists separate client-fund safeguarding, execution, leverage, investor-compensation and complaint policies. The complaint-policy link should be used for the formal procedure; a general support conversation is not evidence that a complaint has entered that process.[1]
