FundYourFX is available to traders in 160+ countries worldwide. There are only three countries where trading is not permitted due to regulatory restrictions. Here’s everything you need to know before signing up.
Restricted Countries
FundYourFX does not permit trading activities from the following countries:
- 🇭🇰 Hong Kong
- 🇰🇵 North Korea
- 🇮🇷 Iran
These restrictions apply regardless of where the trader is physically located — if you are a resident of or primarily operate from these regions, you are not eligible to participate in FundYourFX programs.
Why Are These Countries Restricted?
These restrictions exist for compliance and regulatory reasons:
- Hong Kong — FundYourFX is incorporated and headquartered in Hong Kong (FYFX Capital LTD). Local regulatory requirements mean residents of Hong Kong are not eligible to participate as traders.
- North Korea & Iran — These countries are subject to international sanctions enforced by the United Nations, the United States (OFAC), the European Union, and other global bodies. Businesses operating internationally are legally required to comply with these sanctions restrictions.
What Countries Are Supported?
All other countries are supported — including but not limited to:
- 🇺🇸 United States
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
- 🇦🇺 Australia
- 🇨🇦 Canada
- 🇩🇪 Germany
- 🇫🇷 France
- 🇪🇸 Spain
- 🇮🇹 Italy
- 🇮🇩 Indonesia
- 🇮🇳 India
- 🇵🇭 Philippines
- 🇳🇬 Nigeria
- 🇧🇷 Brazil
- 🇲🇾 Malaysia
- 🇵🇰 Pakistan
- 🇿🇦 South Africa
- 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
- 🇦🇪 UAE
- 🇪🇬 Egypt
- 🇲🇽 Mexico
- 🇹🇷 Turkey
- 🇯🇵 Japan
- 🇸🇬 Singapore
- 🇻🇳 Vietnam
This list is illustrative — if your country is not one of the three restricted countries above, you are eligible to participate.
Age Requirement
All traders must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any FundYourFX program. This is a firm requirement regardless of country.
Are VPNs Allowed?
No. Using a VPN or proxy to circumvent country restrictions is strictly prohibited and will result in account termination. FundYourFX uses IP detection and other compliance tools to verify trader locations. Attempting to access the platform from a restricted country — even through a VPN — is a breach of our Terms and Conditions.
What If I’ve Recently Moved Countries?
If you are a trader who has recently relocated, the rules are based on your current country of residence, not your nationality. For example, if you are originally from Iran but are now a legal resident of the UAE or UK, you are eligible to trade with FundYourFX based on your current location. If you have any questions about your eligibility, contact our support team before signing up.
What If I’m a Citizen of a Restricted Country but Live Elsewhere?
Eligibility is based on your country of residence and operation, not your nationality or passport. If you are a legal resident of a supported country and trade from there, you are eligible — regardless of your citizenship. However, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with your local laws and regulations.
Trader Responsibility
Traders are responsible for ensuring their participation in FundYourFX programs complies with their local laws and regulations. FundYourFX does not provide legal advice. If you are uncertain whether trading with a prop firm is permitted in your jurisdiction, consult a local legal or financial professional before proceeding.
