Prop Firms Restricted in Ukraine

TL;DR: 17 BestProps-listed firms currently publish a complete restriction affecting traders throughout Ukraine. This count deliberately excludes firms that restrict only Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, or another named region. The verified list covers futures, forex and CFD, and crypto programs and uses first-party policies checked on August 8, 2026.

This is a restricted-firm list. Firms that currently accept Ukraine residents are not included. Product-only limits and live-account-only limits are not counted as complete bans.

Why prop firms restrict Ukraine traders

Ukraine requires unusually careful policy reading. Some firms write Ukraine as a country-wide ban, while others accept most Ukrainian residents but exclude occupied or sanctioned regions. BestProps counts a firm here only when its current policy names Ukraine as a whole, not when the restriction applies to Crimea or another region alone.

A full-country policy can come from the prop firm, broker, clearing firm, market-data vendor, identity provider, card processor, or payout partner. The existence of targeted Ukraine-related sanctions does not by itself prove that every Ukrainian resident is legally barred, so current firm policy is the inclusion test.

Ukraine payment limits and investor warnings

The National Bank of Ukraine continues to administer temporary foreign-exchange controls under martial law. Its current public guidance says most transfers from Ukraine abroad remain restricted, hryvnia-card transfers to foreign bank cards are prohibited, and certain card transactions that resemble cash conversion receive separate limits. A prop evaluation fee may be coded differently from an ordinary retail purchase, so the issuing bank should confirm whether the specific merchant and payment route are permitted.

The NBU has previously treated funding brokerage or forex accounts, adding money to electronic wallets, and buying virtual assets as quasi-cash activity. That distinction matters because a prop evaluation can be sold as a service while the checkout processor or issuing bank assigns a financial-services merchant code. A card approving a small fee once does not guarantee that renewals, resets, or payouts will work the same way.

Ukraine’s securities regulator maintains a public list of dubious investment projects and tells residents to check licenses, ownership, official documents, risk disclosures, and regulatory oversight. The regulator’s current list includes E8 Markets. That listing is separate from E8’s country restriction and does not automatically describe every prop firm, but it gives Ukrainian readers a concrete reason to verify the company and contract before sending money.

A prop evaluation normally measures simulated performance and offers a contractual reward if the rules are met. It is not the same as holding securities through a licensed Ukrainian investment firm. Before paying, confirm whether the provider is selling education, simulated evaluation access, brokerage, or another service, and do not assume the word funded means that capital or exchange-traded assets will be held in your name.

Save the exact country policy, checkout receipt, identity-verification requirements, payout terms, and the merchant name shown on the card statement. Ukrainian tax and foreign-exchange treatment can depend on the legal relationship and payment route, so get current local advice before treating a possible payout as ordinary trading profit.

What Ukraine traders should check before checkout

• Confirm that both citizenship and residence are eligible.
• Check the evaluation, simulated funded, live-funded, and payout rules separately.
• Use your real address and identity documents. A VPN does not change KYC eligibility.
• Confirm the payout provider supports your country and expected currency.
• Save a dated copy of the policy and checkout terms before paying.
• Confirm local foreign-exchange, tax, securities, and crypto rules with a qualified professional.
