Highland Trade Capital Pays 1.6% a Day, FCA Warns

Highland Trade Capital (highlandtradecapital.com) calls itself a global investment firm and offers a stock plan paying 1.6% a day. On 6 November 2026 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added it to its warning list of firms working without permission.

What 1.6% a day really means

At 1.6% a day a $200 deposit would pass $1,000 in a few months if it were real. No stock desk pays a fixed daily rate like that. A set daily return is the mark of a deposit scheme, where early payouts come from new money, not from trading.

The referral hook

Highland Trade Capital pays 10% for referrals. That rewards you for pulling friends and family in, and those new deposits are what keep the early payouts flowing. It is how these schemes grow until they stop paying.

If you have money in it

Do not deposit more, and do not pay any fee to release a withdrawal. Save your account screenshots, receipts and any wallet addresses, tell your bank, and file a complaint with ReclaimDC at support@reclaimdc.com.

Check any firm yourself

You do not have to take a site at its word. Search the FCA register for the exact company name and, more importantly, the exact web address. A genuine firm shows a matching website on its register entry. Highland Trade Capital has no matching entry, only a place on the warning list. If a site cannot survive that two minute check, it does not deserve a penny, however polished the dashboard looks or however many testimonials scroll past.
