Industry, legal and operations

# Restricted jurisdiction

A country a firm will not serve, for legal, regulatory, sanctions or payment-provider reasons. Restrictions can change, and they apply to where a trader actually is rather than what an address says.

GFN’s figure

GFN may restrict access from certain jurisdictions for legal, regulatory, payment-provider or compliance reasons, so eligibility can depend on your country of residence. A restriction can also be introduced after you have joined.

In detail

## Restricted jurisdiction, explained

Restrictions are not a judgement about a country's traders. They follow from the rules the firm and its payment providers operate under, and they can change when those rules do.

Using a false address or a VPN to get around one puts the account and any profit in it at risk, because the mismatch surfaces at verification - which is to say, at the payout.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Sanctions screening](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/sanctions-screening) - Checking customers and payments against sanctions lists before money moves. It is a legal obligation on the payments provider as much as on the firm, and it is not discretionary.
- [KYC](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/kyc) - The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
- [AML](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/aml) - The controls a firm operates to prevent its services being used to move criminal proceeds. In practice it means identity checks, monitoring for unusual patterns, and refusing payments that cannot be explained.
- [Terms of service](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/terms-of-service) - The contract between a trader and a firm, covering purchases, account rules, payouts and termination. It governs everything the marketing pages summarise, and where a page and the terms disagree, the terms are what applies.
- [VPS](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/vps) - A rented always-on server used to run trading software continuously. It keeps an automated strategy running through a local power cut, a lost connection or a closed laptop.
