Traders from over 100 countries can participate in the services offered by Apex Trader Funding!
Unfortunately, there are specific reasons why Apex Trader Funding cannot offer trading services in certain banned countries. These reasons include, but are not limited to:
- Sanctions or Embargoes: We comply with international laws restricting financial services to certain countries due to sanctions or embargoes.
- Service Limitations by Providers: Certain brokers, trading platforms, or data providers may be unable to operate in specific regions. We cannot provide full access to live trading accounts without their services.
- Increased Fraud Risk: Countries with higher levels of fraud, such as credit card fraud, identity theft, or online scams, pose significant challenges for secure trading. This also applies to countries with foreign credit card spending restrictions, which can disrupt recurring payments and compliance standards for account ownership.
- Language and Training Barriers: Apex strives to offer high-quality education and support. In some countries, language differences or lack of region-specific support can hinder our ability to provide the desired service level we aim for.
Possible Exceptions for Traders from Restricted Countries:
If you are originally from a restricted country but currently reside and work in a non-restricted country, you may still be eligible to trade with Apex Trader Funding. To qualify, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must possess a valid government-issued ID from an approved (non-restricted) country.
- Your primary residence, mailing address, and bank account must be based in a non-restricted country.
The use or attempted use of any payment method issued from a restricted country is prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate account termination. This applies to both successful and declined transactions, regardless of the country of residence listed on your account, and remains enforceable at every stage of your account’s lifecycle — including after approval and during active trading.
Please note that while you are in a restricted country, you will not be able to (even once documents are provided):
- Purchase new accounts
- Request payouts
- Maintain full access to your account until you return to a non-restricted country
These restrictions are automatically enforced, and no exceptions are permitted. This policy ensures compliance and security for all users. If you have any questions or need assistance, please submit a HelpDesk ticket
These details will be verified during the registration process to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. If you meet all of the above conditions, you are welcome to participate in our programs.
Accepted Forms of Identification:
- Driver’s License
- Residency Permit (excluding temporary or student visas
- Passport
- State ID
- Physical Government-issued ID Card
Note: We do not accept copies, temporary IDs, expired IDs, visas alone, student/work IDs, digital versions, or photos of IDs displayed on a screen (e.g., computer, tablet, or phone).
As we grow, we hope to offer support, educational resources, and dedicated teams for more languages and regions.

Can Canadians Trade With Apex?
Yes! Canadian traders can fully utilize our services. However, please note that as a Canadian, you cannot purchase a LIVE account with Tradovate. Instead, you can access their services through Apex accounts. This allows you to benefit from our funding solutions, as Apex accounts—both Evaluation and Performance Accounts (PAs)—are simulated rather than live trading accounts.
