The differentiator

Deposit and withdraw on rails you actually use.

Every broker accepts a wire. Ours accepts the rails that move real money across Africa: instantly, on your phone, without a bank.

Built for underserved markets

A broker that accepts how you actually pay.

Mobile money rails across Africa. USDT and BTC everywhere. Wire transfers for institutional accounts.

The global brokers don't bother with the payment methods 4 billion traders actually use. We built our entire payment stack around them.

Markets across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, and Egypt — expanding into SE Asia and South Asia.

Speed

Instant withdrawals. Not “next business day.”

Most brokers say “withdrawals processed within 24 hours” and mean 3–5 business days. Ours actually move at the speed of the rail you picked.

Why TFC vs other brokers

Built for African retail. Not retrofitted for it.

We compare positions, not names. Global brokers weren’t built for mobile money, and most brokers serving Africa still make you wait days to get paid. Here is where TFC sits.

Common questions

What you’ll want to know.

When does TFC Global Markets launch?

Target launch is Q4 2026. Leave your email and we’ll notify you the day it opens — first access, no marketing spam.

Is TFC Global Markets regulated?

The brokerage is registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It is not authorised or regulated by the UK FCA, and client funds are not covered by the FSCS or the Financial Ombudsman Service. We publish the full corporate and governing-framework detail before launch, and we will never show regulator logos or imply oversight we don't hold.

How is this different from TFC Funder?

TFC Funder is the prop firm — buy a challenge, pass it, trade firm capital. TFC Global Markets is a retail broker — deposit your own funds, trade in your own name. Same team, same group, two different products for two different audiences.

What's the minimum deposit?

$10 on the Standard account. Built around mobile-money realities, not Western wire-transfer minimums. Pro is $100 and Zero is $500 — see the accounts page for the full breakdown.

Can I run automated strategies?

TradeLocker is focused on manual and discretionary trading at launch. Native automated-strategy and copy-trading features are on the roadmap and announced before they ship — we will not pretend a feature is live before it is.

Is there a demo account?

Yes. Open a TradeLocker demo with no deposit and no ID check — practice on the real platform with live spreads before committing real funds.

How fast are withdrawals?

Target under 24 hours from request to your wallet. Most clear same day on mobile-money and crypto rails. Bank wires (where available) take longer — that’s the bank’s clock, not ours.
