The short answer
When you hit your objectives on a funded account, you request a payout from your dashboard. UZO typically approves it in under an hour, and funds clear within about 12 hours after approval, paid by bank transfer or crypto. You keep 90% of your reward, and your evaluation fee comes back on your first payout.
UZO is a simulated trading firm. You trade against real, third-party market prices with simulated capital, so no live money is ever at risk on your account. The rewards you earn on that simulated performance, however, are real money paid to you. This article walks through how that money reaches you, end to end.
What a payout is at UZO
A payout is your share of the rewards you generate on a funded account. You demonstrate skill by trading to real prices and meeting your account objectives, and UZO pays you for that performance. Because the capital is simulated, the firm has no opposing position against you. Your payout is simply your earned reward, sent to you.
Payouts are handled by the principal operator, EonStrategy L.L.C-FZ (UAE, licence 2204298.01). The MetaTrader 5 simulation platform is operated by UZO LTD (Saint Lucia). You request and track everything from one place: your dashboard.
The five steps from profit to paid
Trade and hit your objectives. Reach the profit target and stay within the drawdown rules for your account type. Instant accounts have no profit target, so your earned reward is what you can withdraw.
Request a payout from your dashboard. Choose the amount you want to withdraw and your payout method.
Verify your identity (KYC), once. The first time you get paid, you complete identity verification through Veriff. There is no KYC to start trading, only before your first reward leaves the building.
Approval. UZO reviews the request, typically in under an hour.
Funds clear. Money is sent within about 12 hours of approval, by bank transfer or crypto.
What you keep: the 90/10 split
You keep 90%
On every reward, you keep 90% and UZO keeps 10%. This split is fixed at every account size, from the smallest account to a $1M account. It never gets worse as you scale.
There are no hidden tiers and no penalty for performing well. Whether your first reward is small or your account has scaled to seven figures, the maths is the same: 90% is yours.
How fast you get paid
Two timeframes matter, and they stack. First, approval: most requests are reviewed in under an hour. Second, clearing: once approved, funds are sent within about 12 hours.
Stage | Typical time |
Approval | Under 1 hour |
Clearing after approval | Within about 12 hours |
Exact arrival depends on your method. Crypto usually settles quickly once sent. Bank transfers can take additional time on the receiving bank's side, which is outside UZO's control.
How you receive it: bank or crypto
You can be paid by bank transfer or crypto. Choose whichever you prefer when you request the payout. Make sure the receiving details (bank account or wallet address) are correct and match your verified identity, because corrections after sending are slow and depend on third parties.
There is a minimum amount you can withdraw per request. The exact figure is shown on your dashboard at the moment you request, so you always see the current threshold before you confirm.
Your evaluation fee comes back
The fee is refunded
Your evaluation fee is refunded on your first reward payout. Pass, get paid, and the cost of your evaluation comes back to you with that first payment.
We will be honest with you: most evaluations do not pass. That is the nature of trading to real prices. The fee refund is our way of making your first success cost you nothing on the entry side.
