The Terms do not exclude you: South Africa is not on Get Funded Now's list of prohibited jurisdictions. You still need to be 18 or over, pass identity verification and use the service only where it is lawful for you. GFN has not published a South Africa-specific legal or tax position, and this page does not assess one.

[Source: Terms §4 - prohibited jurisdictions and persons](https://getfundednow.com/terms-conditions#section-4-prohibited-jurisdictions-and-persons) - **Account currency**: US dollars, not rand Accounts are denominated in US dollars and every fee is listed in US dollars. The rand figures below are an indicative conversion; if you pay with a rand card, your card issuer sets the rate and may add a fee. [Source: Pricing - every programme and size](https://getfundednow.com/challenges) - **Payout methods**: No South African domestic rail listed The payout FAQ lists ach bank transfer, international bank wire and crypto. No South African domestic payment method is one of them, and GFN does not publish which methods its payout provider offers to recipients in South Africa. [Source: FAQ - what are the payout methods?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-are-the-payout-methods) - **Privacy rights**: Covered by the general clause, not named Privacy Policy §14 extends additional rights to residents of countries with privacy legislation, naming the UAE, India and several US states. South Africa is not named, so the general clause is the one that applies. [Source: Privacy Policy §14 - rights in other jurisdictions](https://getfundednow.com/privacy-policy#section-14-rights-in-other-jurisdictions) - **South African clocks**: SAST, UTC+2, all year South Africa does not observe daylight saving time, so session times in SAST move only when the UK or US change their clocks - and the Tokyo session never moves. [Source: South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2, no daylight saving)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_Standard_Time) Sizes in ZAR ## Account sizes and fees, with rand equivalents The US dollar figures are the real ones. The local figures are an indicative conversion, with the rate and its date stated. **GFN account sizes and lowest listed fees in USD, with indicative ZAR equivalents at the ECB reference rate of 2026-09-22** | Account size (USD) | Indicative ZAR | Fee from (USD) | Indicative ZAR | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | $5,000 | ≈ R 81 209 | $22 | ≈ R 357 | | $10,000 | ≈ R 162 418 | $45 | ≈ R 731 | | $25,000 | ≈ R 406 046 | $115 | ≈ R 1 868 | | $50,000 | ≈ R 812 091 | $200 | ≈ R 3 248 | | $100,000 | ≈ R 1 624 182 | $405 | ≈ R 6 578 | | $150,000 | ≈ R 2 436 273 | $683 | ≈ R 11 093 | | $200,000 | ≈ R 3 248 364 | $900 | ≈ R 14 618 | Indicative only, at 1 USD = R 16,24, derived from the [European Central Bank reference rates](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html) of 2026-09-22. Accounts are denominated in US dollars and fees are listed in US dollars; “fee from” is the lowest current listed fee across the programmes that sell that size. What your card is charged depends on your card issuer's rate on the day. Session times ## Forex session times, in SAST Sessions are a market convention, not a GFN rule. Your account runs on the instrument schedule shown on the platform. - **London session**: 10:00-19:00 SAST (UK winter) · 09:00-18:00 SAST (UK summer) Conventionally 08:00-17:00 London time. South Africa does not change its clocks, so the SAST hours move when the UK does, in late March and late October. - **New York session**: 15:00-00:00 SAST (US winter) · 14:00-23:00 SAST (US summer) Conventionally 08:00-17:00 New York time. US daylight time runs from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November. - **Asian session (Tokyo)**: 02:00-11:00 SAST all year Conventionally 09:00-18:00 Tokyo time. Neither Japan nor South Africa changes its clocks, so these hours never move. - **Your GFN account's hours**: Set by the instrument GFN does not define sessions. Trading hours depend on the instrument and are shown in the instrument information on the platform - that schedule, not the convention above, is what your account runs on.
