We checked 28 prop firms for traders living in Bangladesh and ranked 14 forex and futures products by cost per $1,000 of loss room at $50K, with taka at Bangladesh Bank’s October 1, 2026 rate of Tk123.10 per dollar. Topstep is cheapest at $47.50 ($95 a month), then WeMasterTrade at $48.00, E8 Markets E8 Pro 10% at $49.80, FundingPips 2 Step Flex at $49.83 and Alpha Capital Group Alpha Pro 10% at $53.40. Ten firms name Bangladesh as excluded on their own lists, FundedNext among them. Payouts can land in taka through two processors: WorkMarket at E8 Markets and Rise at most other firms. WeMasterTrade is the only firm that takes bKash. Bangladesh Bank’s card and virtual-asset circulars are quoted below, without a legal verdict. HyroTrader and Tradeify 247 lead the crypto group, and Crypto Fund Trader sits in a warning group.

Checked: October 6, 2026, with prices, Bangladesh Bank’s circulars and its exchange-rate sheet, Rise’s country page, BSEC’s scam warnings and FATF’s lists re-checked on October 7, 2026. Firms change prices, codes and country lists without notice, so confirm on the firm’s own page before paying. Each Trustpilot figure shows its own read date.

Quick answer and the top five prop firms for traders in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a mixed country for prop firms: ten of the 28 firms we checked name it as excluded, one sells it only some products, and the rest leave it off their lists. The differences that matter after that are how firmly a firm says yes, what a single charge costs against Bangladesh Bank’s card rules, and whether a payout can reach a Bangladeshi bank in taka. Ranked on what you pay for each $1,000 the account can lose, these five come first:
- Topstep Trading Combine, No Activation Fee: $47.50 per $1,000 (Tk5,847). Price $95/month (about Tk11,694); floor $2,000, end-of-day trailing.
- WeMasterTrade Challenge Package: $48.00 per $1,000 (Tk5,909). Price $240 (about Tk29,544); floor $5,000, static, both stages.
- E8 Markets E8 Pro 10%: $49.80 per $1,000 (Tk6,130). Price $249 (about Tk30,652); floor $5,000, static, both stages.
- FundingPips 2 Step Flex: $49.83 per $1,000 (Tk6,134). Price $299 (about Tk36,807); floor $6,000, static (12%), all stages.
- Alpha Capital Group Alpha Pro 10%: $53.40 per $1,000 (Tk6,574). Price $267 (about Tk32,868); floor $5,000, static, both stages.
Topstep’s lead is for one month of a monthly subscription, and FundingPips’ figure leaves out an activation fee it never states. On one-time, fully published prices the lowest is WeMasterTrade for forex, and E8 Markets is the only firm whose own processor publishes a taka bank row for Bangladesh. If you want Bangladesh named rather than merely missing from a list, Alpha Capital Group names it in its country guide and Maven Trading on its Rise payout list. For the neighbouring markets, see our guides for traders in India and traders in Pakistan, where the regulators and the lists differ.
What a prop firm is for traders in Bangladesh, and how it differs from a broker
A prop firm, in the sense these 28 firms use the word, sells you an evaluation on a simulated account. You trade to a profit target without breaking a daily or overall loss limit; pass, and you trade a funded account that is usually still simulated, and the firm pays you a share of the simulated profit, typically 80% to 90%. That is different from a broker such as Exness, which holds your own money in a real account, and from a BSEC-registered trading member of the Dhaka or Chittagong stock exchange, which deals in listed shares for you. It is why searches for the best prop firm in Bangladesh return broker lists, and why those lists answer a different question. For the basics, see what a prop firm is.
- For: your loss is capped at the fee, you can trade a $50,000 account for $95 to $379, and most firms here pay 80% or more of profit.
- Against: most buyers never reach a payout, a broken daily limit ends most accounts at once, the funded account is simulated, the fee is charged in dollars or euros against Bangladesh Bank’s card rules, and only two processors publish a taka route.
Is the fee an investment? No: it buys an attempt, and it is gone whether you pass or fail. Treat it as a cost of trading, budget for more than one attempt, and compare firms on what each attempt buys you in loss room, which is what the ranking below does. Every ranked firm describes its funded accounts as simulated or demo, and a few keep a live stage behind a discretionary move, covered in each firm’s section.
Which prop firms accept traders in Bangladesh, from each firm’s own list
We read each firm’s own restricted-countries page, terms, help article or checkout for Bangladesh, product by product, and read every list to the end; alphabetical lists put Bangladesh between Bahrain or the Bahamas and Barbados or Belarus, which makes it easy to miss. Five groups come out:
- Bangladesh named as accepted: Alpha Capital Group lists Bangladesh in the Asia section of its country guide, and Maven Trading names it on its Rise payout list.
- Named for one product only: E8 Markets does not sell E8 One to Bangladesh but sells E8 Pro and E8 Signature.
- Missing from a named list with no “including” wording: Topstep, Goat Funded Trader, The5ers, BrightFunded, FTMO, Tradeify, HyroTrader and Tradeify 247.
- Missing from an open-ended list: WeMasterTrade (“some other countries”), FundingPips and FXIFY (“including”), Funded Trading Plus (“includes”) and SabioTrade (“including but not limited to”). They rank, but their wording leaves room for a country they have not named.
- Named as excluded: ten firms, listed in the next section.
Neighbours fare very differently, which is why a country check beats a regional one. BrightFunded bars Pakistan but not Bangladesh; Tradeify bars Pakistan and Sri Lanka; FundedNext bars Bangladesh and Sri Lanka; Topstep limits Nepal to its simulated stage. Directory pages that say a firm accepts Bangladesh usually mean only that Bangladesh is missing from a list. Our own prop firms available in Bangladesh page lists two crypto-scoped positives only, BrightFunded crypto CFDs and Crypto Fund Trader on Match-Trader, and neither extends to the products ranked here.
Prop firms that name Bangladesh as excluded, in their own words
These ten firms put Bangladesh on their own lists. They are not ranked, but each is shown with its own words and the cost it would have, because several ranking pages for Bangladesh still recommend them.
| Firm (arm) | The firm’s own words | Who is barred | Read on | Context cost per $1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apex Trader Funding | Named on its list for “New or Additional ACCOUNTS” | Origin, residence, bank | October 6, 2026 | $359.50 |
| Bulenox | Named on its current “list of restricted countries” | Residence | October 6, 2026 | $63.56 |
| DayTraders.com | Named: no “new or additional accounts” | Citizenship and location | October 6, 2026 | $55.00 |
| EdgeProp | Named on its “Complete List of Restricted Countries” | Residence | October 6, 2026 | $101.20 |
| Fintokei | “Temporarily restricted: Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, and Vietnam.” | Residence or citizenship | October 6, 2026 | $65.80* |
| For Traders | Terms 1.1.18: “Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam” | Not stated in the clause | October 6, 2026 | $68.60 |
| FundedNext (CFD) | “residents and citizens of Bangladesh, Myanmar, Belarus” | Residents and citizens | October 6, 2026 | $57.50* |
| FundedNext Futures | Named on its “restricted countries to purchase accounts” list | Residence | October 6, 2026 | $89.33 |
| Goat Funded Futures | Named under “Fully Restricted Countries (All Platforms)” | Residence | October 6, 2026 | $69.00 |
| Orion Funded | “Restricted Jurisdictions include United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh” | Residence or citizenship | October 6, 2026 | $119.60* |
Notes on this table: Context cost is the same measure as the ranking, for the firm’s cheapest comparable $50K product, shown so you can see what the exclusion costs you; * activation fee not published, so the figure is the fee alone. Apex Trader Funding’s list covers new or additional accounts; Fintokei calls its bar temporary; DayTraders bars citizens of listed countries regardless of where they live. Our page on prop firms restricted in Bangladesh lists three of them.
The wording matters if you are a Bangladeshi citizen living abroad. FundedNext, Fintokei and Orion Funded test residence or citizenship, so a Bangladeshi passport holder in Dubai is still barred; FundedNext Futures, Goat Funded Futures, EdgeProp and Bulenox test residence, so the same person could buy from the UAE if the UAE is open. Apex adds origin, bank and payment-method country. Read the firm’s exact test before you assume a move abroad changes anything.
FundedNext started in Bangladesh, and its own terms now exclude Bangladeshi traders
FundedNext ranks first for Bangladesh on at least one page-one list, and The Business Standard wrote in August 2022 that “FundedNext is a Bangladesh-origin proprietary trading firm”. FundedNext’s own help article for its CFD accounts now says “As of now, residents and citizens of Bangladesh, Myanmar, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Grenada, Chad, Malaysia, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, Cape Verde, Tuvalu, Vietnam, Bouvet Island, Burundi, Cook Islands, Eritrea, Comoros, Sri Lanka, and Fiji are not able to access FundedNext’s trading platform.” Its futures arm lists Bangladesh among countries where accounts cannot be bought. We read both on October 6, 2026. We do not speculate on why; the firm’s current terms are what bind a buyer, and they exclude Bangladesh by residence and by citizenship.
For reference, its CFD Stellar Lite $50K costs $229.99 for a $4,000 static floor, $57.50 per $1,000 on the fee alone, which would have placed it sixth here. On its Trustpilot profile (4.5/5 on 80,996 reviews (read October 6, 2026)), reviewers located in Bangladesh describe the bar from the other side: one writes that Bangladeshi users cannot log in or sign up, with no clear explanation, and another says FundedNext refunded a purchase made without knowing of the country bar. Those are reviewers’ accounts; the terms are what bind.
Bangladesh Bank circulars that matter to prop firm buyers in Bangladesh
Bangladesh Bank administers the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947, and three of its circulars touch what a prop firm buyer does: pay a foreign firm by card, and, at some firms, get paid in crypto. We quote them once, here, in Bangladesh Bank’s own words, re-downloaded from bb.org.bd on October 7, 2026. They are not about prop firms, and we give no verdict on how they apply to you.
| Circular | Date | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| FE Circular Letter No. 30 | November 24, 2019 | Card payments abroad; banks to guard against forex and crypto use |
| FE Circular Letter No. 32 | September 20, 2020 | Online card payments up to USD 300 in a single transaction |
| FE Circular No. 24 | September 15, 2022 | Virtual assets and virtual currencies |
FE Circular Letter No. 30 (November 24, 2019), on international cards used for online payments abroad, says “ADs shall take necessary arrangements to guard against illegitimate online payments abroad through ICs from Bangladesh like payments for participating in online casino/gambling, trading in forex/stock exchanges, purchase of crypto currencies/lottery ticket, purchase of goods/services originated in Bangladesh, etc.” ADs are authorised dealer banks and ICs are international cards. In plain words, your bank is told to watch for card payments abroad that pay for forex trading or crypto.
FE Circular Letter No. 32 (September 20, 2020) says banks can allow cardholders to use international cards for online payment “not exceeding USD 300 or its equivalent at a single transaction against purchase of goods and services”, and adds that “online payment of USD 300 at a single transaction is admissible for legitimate purchase from Bangladesh”. That is why the money-path table below shows whether each ranked product’s list price is above USD 300 in one charge: Goat Funded Trader, BrightFunded, FTMO, FXIFY and Funded Trading Plus are. It is a fact, not a ranking factor, and we give no advice on splitting or routing a payment; WeMasterTrade says plainly that it does not allow split payments.
FE Circular No. 24 (September 15, 2022) is about virtual assets. It says “Virtual currencies [subset of virtual assets] are neither approved foreign exchange /currency nor approved form of transactions/investments”, and that “Any transactions made in/from/to Bangladesh for obtaining virtual assets (as defined in paragraph 3) or its subset- virtual currencies, are not permitted by Bangladesh Bank.” Most firms here offer crypto payouts, HyroTrader offers nothing else, and several sell crypto trading; that is why we show for every firm whether a non-crypto route exists, and why Crypto Fund Trader sits in the warning group below.
Taka figures in this guide use Bangladesh Bank’s weighted average sheet “As on date: 01/10/2026”, which shows USD to BDT at 123.1000. October 2 was a Friday, a weekend day in Bangladesh with no sheet, so October 1 is the last business day on or before October 2.
BSEC, FATF and regulator checks for prop firms in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has no licence written for prop firms. The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) regulates the capital market, and its Beware of Scams page carried the same four warning notices on October 7, 2026 as on October 6, 2026; the one entity they name is Prosperia Securities Group Ltd, an unregistered entity, which is not a firm in this guide. We searched Bangladesh Bank’s and BSEC’s websites for every firm, every domain it uses, its group companies and the companies named in its terms. No notice names any of the 28 firms. Search hits on generic words (“capital”, “funding”, “zero”) returned unrelated circulars and are not attributed to anyone. None of the firms claims a Bangladeshi licence, and a company registration elsewhere is not one.
FATF lists matter because several firms’ terms bar “FATF” countries. Bangladesh is a member of the Asia/Pacific Group, not of FATF itself, and it is on neither of FATF’s lists dated June 19, 2026, the High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action and the Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring, which we re-read on October 7, 2026. Its neighbour Nepal is on the second list. So FundingPips’ “FATF lists” clause and HyroTrader’s increased-monitoring clause do not reach Bangladesh on either reading. For firms that hold a licence somewhere, see regulated prop firms, and for trust evidence across firms, the most trusted prop firms.
Paying a prop firm from Bangladesh with cards, bKash or crypto
Bangladeshi online payments run on bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank cards, so those are the first things a buyer looks for. One firm of the 28 names the mobile wallets:
- bKash, Nagad, Rocket: WeMasterTrade’s local-payment page has a Bangladesh tab, “The local payment method in Bangladesh”, with their logos, and its Bengali home page promotes bKash fee payment. That is a way to pay for the challenge, not a way to be paid, and the page shows no taka price.
- Cards: every ranked firm takes cards; Topstep and FTMO add Apple Pay and Google Pay, and Alpha Capital Group names Nuvei and American Express.
- Wallets: FundingPips, FTMO, FXIFY and Goat Funded Trader take PayPal; FundingPips and FTMO take Skrill; Goat Funded Trader names Kora and AstroPay.
- Crypto: almost every firm here; read FE Circular No. 24 above before choosing it.
- Not shown before sign-in: E8 Markets and The5ers show their methods only in the checkout.
Currency matters as much as the method. No firm prices in taka. FTMO and BrightFunded price in euros; everyone else prices in US dollars, so your card issuer converts and adds its margin, and Bangladesh Bank’s USD 300 single-transaction figure applies to the dollar amount. Of the 14 ranked products, nine list at or under $300 and five above it. The cheapest ranked charge is Topstep at $95 a month, and the cheapest one-time charge is Tradeify Growth at $145.
How prop firm payouts reach a Bangladeshi bank in taka

No firm in this guide pays taka itself. Two payout processors publish a taka route for Bangladesh, and which one a firm uses decides how the money lands. E8 Markets pays through WorkMarket, whose fee table has one Bangladesh row: a bank account in taka, Tk50 to Tk2,500,000 per transfer, a Tk504.75 fee and 2% to 3% on the conversion. Most other ranked firms pay into Rise, whose help page lists Bangladesh in its local-currency table and says “The withdrawal fee is $10, and the maximum timeframe is 2 business days.” In both cases the taka line is the processor’s, not the firm’s.
| Payout method | Firms that offer it | Pays in | Found for Bangladesh |
|---|---|---|---|
| WorkMarket bank account | E8 Markets | Taka | Provider row: Tk504.75 plus 2-3% FX, Tk50 to Tk2,500,000 |
| Rise, Bangladesh named by the firm | Maven Trading | Dollars into Rise, then taka | Maven $20 plus Rise $10 |
| Rise only | FXIFY | Dollars into Rise, then taka | Rise lists Bangladesh in taka, $10 |
| Rise, no firm fee | E8 Markets, Tradeify | Dollars into Rise, then taka | Rise lists Bangladesh in taka, $10 |
| Rise, after a firm fee | Goat Funded Trader, The5ers | Dollars into Rise, then taka | 3% or 3.5% first, then Rise $10 |
| Rise, firm fee not stated | Alpha Capital Group, FundingPips, Funded Trading Plus, Tradeify 247 | Dollars into Rise, then taka | $500 minimum at FundingPips |
| International wire in dollars | Topstep | US dollars | $30 fee, $125 minimum, 5 to 10 business days |
| Bank transfer in euros | BrightFunded | Euros | No country list; your bank converts |
| Bank wire, currency not stated | FTMO, WeMasterTrade, The5ers, Alpha Capital Group, SabioTrade | Not stated | No firm names taka or Bangladesh |
| Local bank transfer by the firm | FundingPips, Goat Funded Trader, Maven Trading | Not stated | Each region list leaves Bangladesh off |
| Card payout | FTMO, FundingPips | Not stated | FundingPips’ Pay to Card omits Bangladesh |
| Crypto (USDT, USDC and others) | Most firms here; HyroTrader only | Crypto | See FE Circular No. 24 above |
Three firms are specific about who gets their own bank rail, and none includes Bangladesh. FundingPips’ local bank payout and Pay to Card cover 14 countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia, Indonesia among them, but not Bangladesh. Goat Funded Trader’s bank transfer covers eight African countries. Maven’s direct bank transfer is for South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Topstep’s only route to Bangladesh is a dollar wire, BrightFunded sends euros, and FTMO, WeMasterTrade and SabioTrade name a bank transfer without a currency. Fees add up before the conversion: Goat Funded Trader takes 3% of every payout, The5ers 3.5%, Maven a flat $20, and Topstep $30 per wire, while E8 Markets, Tradeify, BrightFunded and FTMO charge no fee of their own.
A worked taka payout example for prop traders in Bangladesh
Take a $2,000 payout, about Tk246,200 at Bangladesh Bank’s October 1 rate. Through WorkMarket at E8 Markets, it lands in taka less Tk504.75 and a 2% to 3% conversion charge, roughly Tk238,309 to Tk240,771 if the processor’s rate matched Bangladesh Bank’s. Through Rise at a firm with no fee of its own, such as Tradeify, $10 comes off first, about Tk244,969 before Rise’s own exchange rate. At Goat Funded Trader the 3% fee comes first ($60), then Rise’s $10, about Tk237,583; at Maven, its $20 plus Rise’s $10, about Tk242,507. Through Topstep’s dollar wire, $30 comes off and your bank converts the rest at its own rate. None of these figures includes the rate margin, which neither processor publishes as a number beyond WorkMarket’s 2% to 3%.
Two practical points. First, both Rise and WorkMarket run their own identity checks, so a payout needs your documents twice, once for the firm and once for the processor. Second, a taka payout from a processor is still foreign money arriving in Bangladesh; keep every payout statement with the amount and date credited.
How we checked prop firms for Bangladesh

- Read each firm’s own restricted-countries page, terms, help article or checkout for Bangladesh, product by product, reading every list to the end and noting whether it is called complete and what it tests.
- Treat a brand’s forex, futures and crypto arms as separate listings, and keep crypto-first products in their own table.
- Price every $50K variant at list price, add any activation fee, and convert euro prices at the October 2, 2026 ECB rate; codes go in the firm notes only.
- Divide by the smallest overall loss limit in dollars at any stage, never a daily limit or a per-asset rule, and multiply by 1,000; show taka at Tk123.10 per dollar.
- Search Bangladesh Bank’s and BSEC’s sites for each firm, domain and company, then note the ways to pay, whether the charge is above USD 300, the currency a payout lands in, Bengali support, live stage terms and Trustpilot.
Firm pages were read on October 6, 2026; on October 7, 2026 we re-read every ranked $50K price and found none changed. A firm that bans Bangladesh from its whole offer is shown with its words and not ranked; a firm whose pages disagree with each other on Bangladesh, or that a regulator names, would sit in a warning group. A live call-up is a named warning, never a reason to drop a firm.
Prop firms in Bangladesh ranked by cost per $1,000 of loss room
Lower is better. A $2,000 floor at $95 and a $5,000 floor at $240 both cost under $50 for each $1,000 you are allowed to lose, which is the comparison that matters if you expect to buy more than once.
| Firm and product | Bangladesh status | Price at $50K | Overall loss floor | Cost per $1,000 | Payout lands as | Live call-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Topstep Trading Combine, No Activation Fee | Not on either of its country tables | $95/month (about Tk11,694) | $2,000, end-of-day trailing | $47.50 (Tk5,847)a | US dollar wire, $30; your bank converts | Discretionary Live move; cannot decline |
| 2. WeMasterTrade Challenge Package | Not on its open-ended lists | $240 (about Tk29,544) | $5,000, static, both stages | $48.00 (Tk5,909)b | Currency not published; wire may cost $50 | No live stage; firm copies trades |
| 3. E8 Markets E8 Pro 10% | Named: E8 One barred, E8 Pro open | $249 (about Tk30,652) | $5,000, static, both stages | $49.80 (Tk6,130)c | Taka via WorkMarket, Tk504.75 plus 2-3% FX | No live stage; all accounts demo |
| 4. FundingPips 2 Step Flex | Not on its list; terms say “including” | $299 (about Tk36,807) | $6,000, static (12%), all stages | $49.83 (Tk6,134)d | Taka via Rise ($500 minimum), card or crypto | Prime invite is mandatory |
| 5. Alpha Capital Group Alpha Pro 10% | Named in its country guide | $267 (about Tk32,868) | $5,000, static, both stages | $53.40 (Tk6,574) | Taka via Rise; Wise or wire currency unstated | Alpha Prime move; declining ends ties |
| 6. Maven Trading Standard 2-Step | Named on its Rise payout list | $220 (about Tk27,082) | $4,000, static, both stages | $55.00 (Tk6,770)e | Taka via Rise after Maven’s $20 fee | No live stage; all simulated |
| 7. Goat Funded Trader 2 Step GOAT | Not on its alphabetical list | $308 (about Tk37,915) | $5,000, static, both stages | $61.60 (Tk7,583)f | Taka via Rise after a 3% fee | No call-up; accounts simulated |
| 8. The5ers High Stakes 2-Step (NEW) | Not on its closed FAQ list | $249 (about Tk30,652) | $4,000, static (other pages say $5,000) | $62.25 (Tk7,663)g | Taka via Rise after a 3.5% fee | No call-up; funded by acceptance |
| 9. BrightFunded |
