Firm-stated payout terms, side by side, with sources. Eleven prop firms’ official payout policies — eligibility, cadence, split, minimums, methods, fees, and processing time — pulled from their own help centers and policy pages. These are stated policies, not proof anyone got paid.

8route payouts through Rise/Riseworks on at least one method
6rows carry a source gap or re-check flag

Rows to inspect first

  • Visible payout gate: Apex (50% consistency + safety net + 6-payout cap), E8 Signature (35% best-day + buffer + caps), Tradeify Growth (35% consistency + reconciliation window), Blue Guardian (payout caps on early payouts). Read the gate before counting on the cadence.
  • Needs re-check: My Funded Futures — MFF’s own payout overview and its newer Flex plan guides state different Flex caps/minimums; both values shown in the row notes.
  • Source gap: E8 Markets and FundedNext (methods/timing or split not stated in checked policy sources), FTMO, The5ers and TradeDay (split % not captured). Gap chips mark exactly what the checked source didn’t state — nothing is inferred.
  • Scope labels matter: most rows describe one account path (e.g. Topstep XFA, Funding Pips 2 Step Standard). Other plans at the same firm can differ. Open the row notes for per-plan detail.

These labels come from the rubric below the board — they flag what to verify, not which firm to choose. Nothing here is trading or financial advice.

Per-firm evidence notes

Topstep — paths, methods and fees
  • Express Funded Account has two payout paths: Standard (5 winning days of $150+ net P&L) and Consistency (3 traded days with a 40% consistency target, resets after each payout). Minimum payout $125; requests take 50% of account balance up to a cap.
  • Method table: Prop-to-Brokerage (US only, same day if requested by 12 p.m. CT, no fee), Aeropay (US banks, instant after approval), Wise (intl/domestic, 1–3 business days), ACH (US, 1–3 days, $30), Wire/SWIFT (intl, 5–10 days, $30). Payouts only to a bank account in the trader’s own name; W-9/W-8BEN required.
  • Split stated as 90/10 in the checked policy, with a lifetime-profit note for accounts predating January 12, 2026.
  • Sources: payout policy, XFA parameters. Checked Jul 1–2, 2026.
Apex Trader Funding — EOD gate detail
  • EOD Performance Account: up to weekly payouts after at least 5 qualifying trading days; $500 minimum; 50% consistency rule; only profit above the safety net (drawdown limit + $100) is eligible; maximum six payouts per Performance Account, with caps by account size and payout number.
  • Approved EOD payouts are stated at a 100% payout split in the checked source.
  • US payouts via ACH direct deposit (use the ACH routing number, not wire); international via Plane after first payout approval. Review within 2 business days; approved funds sent within 3–4 business days; banks typically post within 3–7.
  • Sources: EOD payouts, payout method info. Checked Jul 1–2, 2026.
Tradeify — Growth vs Lightning
  • Growth Funded: 35% consistency rule, at least 5 profitable trading days with size-specific minimum daily profit, daily reconciliation between 6–8 p.m. ET, payout caps and minimum balances that vary by account size and payout number — there is no single universal minimum. Trader receives 90% of the requested amount.
  • Lightning Funded: no minimum trading-day count if the profit goal and consistency rule are met; consistency is 20% for the first payout, then 25%/30% for accounts purchased after Sep 12, 2025, 8 a.m. ET (older accounts keep prior terms).
  • Methods: Rise is the primary payout method (government ID, selfie, bank or crypto wallet, SSN/ITIN or tax ID; funds appear in the Rise wallet 24–48h after approval; bank 1–3 business days, crypto usually hours). Plane is the alternative when Rise is unavailable — setup can take about a week.
  • Sources: Growth policy, Lightning policy, Rise payouts. Checked Jul 2, 2026.
My Funded Futures — plan detail and the Flex source conflict
  • Rapid: daily payouts, first eligible 24h after first trade once the buffer ($2,100/$3,100/$4,600 by size) and minimum profit are met; $500 minimum after buffer; 90/10; no consistency rule.
  • Pro: request every 14 calendar days from first trade; $1,000 minimum.
  • Flex conflict (needs re-check): MFF’s payout overview (Feb 22, 2026) lists Flex minimum $250 with caps up to $3,000/$5,000, while the newer Flex plan guides (May 14, 2026) state the caps were “reduced” to $1,000 (25K) / $2,000 (50K) with minimums $250/$500. Both are live MFF pages; the newer guides describe the update explicitly. Confirm in the dashboard before relying on either.
  • Delivery: KYC → Riseworks account → request; withdraw via bank transfer or crypto; processing 6–12 business hours excluding holidays.
  • Sources: payout overview, Flex 50K guide, Flex 25K guide. Checked Jul 2, 2026.
FTMO — reward mechanics
  • Request a reward in Account MetriX on the 14th day (or later) after the first placed trade; all positions and pending orders closed; review 1–2 business days; reward typically sent 1–2 business days after invoice approval.
  • Methods: bank wire, Visa Direct / Mastercard Send (up to $20,000), Skrill (up to $3,000, 3%), crypto (3%). Minimum closed profit: $20 (wire) / $50 (crypto). Bank transfers unavailable in some countries per FTMO’s FAQ.
  • The profit split percentage was not stated in the checked FAQ pages — split is marked as a source gap rather than inferred.
  • Sources: withdraw FAQ, payment methods FAQ. Checked Jul 1–2, 2026.
E8 Markets — per-product gates
  • Signature: 80% performance share, 35% best-day rule, $100 minimum, 5 profitable days (0.3%+ realized) between payouts after the first, EOD dynamic-drawdown buffer, and payout caps by size and payout number ($1,000–$5,250 range).
  • E8 One: 40% best-day rule and net payout greater than 50% of daily drawdown; payout share 80/90/100%; payout reduces balance while the drawdown loss level does not reset (E8 suggests keeping a 2–3% reserve).
  • E8 Pro: no caps or consistency rules; daily requests with at least 1% profit between cycles; each cycle splits 50% payout / 50% buffer before the selected share.
  • Methods appear only on E8’s marketing trader-stories page (bank, crypto, pay-to-card) — kept as a weak-source note, and no processing-time policy source was found. Both are source gaps, not findings.
  • Sources: payout on demand, Signature Forex, E8 Pro. Checked Jul 1–3, 2026.
FundedNext, Funding Pips, The5ers, Blue Guardian, TradeDay
  • FundedNext: performance-reward withdrawals via USDT/USDC, Confirmo, RiseWorks (TC Pay for Iran); usually processed within 24 hours; trader covers gateway fees; cadence and split not stated in the checked articles. Source (Jul 2, 2026).
  • Funding Pips (2 Step Standard): choose a reward cycle — Weekly 60%, Bi-Weekly 80%, Monthly 100%, or On Demand 90% (35% consistency score, 2% of account size minimum). Global minimum 1% of account size (card/crypto); Rise and bank transfer need $500. Requests processed 1–3 working days plus 1–2 to reflect; Pay-to-Card is instant/30 min in supported regions.

How to read this board

Every value is a firm-stated claim from the firm's own help center or policy page — the strongest public source for what a firm says it does, and no evidence of what it actually does. "Eligibility" is what unlocks your first request; the real friction usually lives in the gate (consistency rules, buffers, safety nets, caps), not the cadence. Scope labels matter: a row describes the checked account path, and the same firm's other plans can differ substantially.

Transparency grade rubric

Grades score only how much of the payout policy is publicly documented in the checked sources, across six components: eligibility rules, cadence, minimums, methods, fees, and processing time. Documented = 5–6 of 6 visible. Partial = 3–4. Opaque = 0–2. A "documented" grade is not an endorsement and says nothing about whether payouts arrive — only that the firm publishes its terms. Gap chips mark the exact components the checked source didn't state.

Sources, freshness and corrections

How we check payouts, source order, and verification labels follow the sitewide Payout Verification Methodology. Facts were captured July 1–3, 2026 from the linked official pages; payout terms change frequently, so re-check the source before acting on any row. Firms can request corrections or provide a response via our contact page — we update rows against official sources. A future version of this benchmark may add community-reported payout patterns in a clearly separated, labeled section; nothing on this page currently reflects trader reports.

Commercial note: This page currently has no signup links, paid placements, sponsored rows, or monetized routing. Editorial rows and grades are built from official sources. This page is information, not trading or financial advice.
