Countries Restricted and Supported

General Questions

Countries Restricted and Supported

Elite Trader Funding (ETF) supports a global community of traders. However, due to regulatory restrictions imposed by our U.S. FCMs (Futures Commission Merchants), clearing firms, and brokers, we are unable to accept traders from certain countries. Additionally, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) restrictions may prevent our brokerage partners from legally providing accounts to residents of these countries.

Who Can Trade with Us?

If you are a citizen or resident of a restricted country, you cannot purchase, obtain funding, or receive payouts through Elite Trader Funding. Please regularly check the list of restricted countries below, as it is subject to change based on regulatory updates and restrictions from our brokerage and clearing partners.

Live Broker, FCMs, and Clearing Firms: Please be aware that citizens or residents of countries listed on OFAC's Sanctioned Countries list cannot receive approval for an account with our live broker, therefore you are unable to purchase, obtain funding, or receive payouts from ETF. Due to the dynamic nature of sanctions, additional countries not listed below may be restricted from joining the LIVE Elite program.

Countries and Payment Services: Elite Trader Funding uses Rise and Stripe to process payments. In order to trade with ETF, your country must be supported by both Rise and Stripe.

  • Countries Supported and Restricted by Rise: Refer to Rise’s official list of supported and restricted countries for payments.

  • Countries Supported Through Stripe: Stripe provides payment services in various countries. Check Stripe’s official website for a complete list of supported regions.

  • Countries Restricted by Live Broker but Supported by Rise and Stripe: Since we cannot transition you to LIVE Elite through our live broker, you will receive a partial refund for your Elite Sim-Funded accounts.

Note: As the user/trader, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to the laws of your country.
