At a glance
You can buy an EverFunded account if all of these are true:
Age: you are 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher (Terms §3.1).
Location: checkout lets you buy from where you live, and you are not subject to sanctions.
Identity: you will trade your accounts yourself, under your own verified identity.
You must verify your identity before your first payout.
The checklist in detail
Requirement | What it means |
Age | You must be 18, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher (Terms §3.1). |
Location | Checkout confirms whether you can buy from where you live, and it is the place to check before you pay. Purchases from restricted countries are blocked, and everyone is screened against sanctions lists. |
Sanctions | You can be refused after a sanctions check even if checkout lets you buy from your country (Terms §13.5). |
One person, one identity | Each account must be traded by the person whose identity verification it carries. You may hold more than one account yourself; How many accounts can I hold at once? explains the limits. A friend cannot trade your account for you: see Can someone else trade my account, or can I transfer it?. |
Your own payment method | Pay with a method in your own name (Terms §7.6). |
Identity verification | Your identity must be verified before your first payout, on every product. We may also ask you to verify at another time, for example if a payment partner requires it. We publish no set processing time (Terms §4.2) (AML & KYC Policy §4.2–4.3). See How to complete identity verification: documents and common fixes. |
Example: Maria lives in a country where checkout lets her buy. She buys two accounts and trades both of them herself, which is allowed. Her brother cannot trade one of them for her, even with her permission, because each account must be traded by the person whose verification it carries. Before her first payout, Maria completes identity verification in her own name.
Before you buy
Joining from the United States? Checkout confirms whether you can buy. Accounts run on Match-Trader, and MetaTrader 5 is not offered yet. Once it is, availability may depend on where you live. See Which trading platform do EverFunded accounts use?.
Do not hide your location. Using a VPN or proxy to get around the country block breaks the Terms (Terms §13.4). The account can then be closed without a refund.
Do not open accounts for someone else, or with someone else's details. You cannot register under another person's identity, or for someone you have not told us about.
Your verification details must match. The name on your identity document must match your account (AML & KYC Policy §4.4). See How to complete identity verification: documents and common fixes.
Being able to buy is not a promise of a reward. Buying an account does not mean you will pass or be paid.
If checkout blocks you
Checkout may block you when you believe you should be able to buy, or you may be refused after a sanctions check. Either way, do not try to get around the block: that breaks the Terms, and the account can then be closed without a refund. Message us in the chat, or email support@everfunded.com, and a person reviews your own situation.
