How to pay for a prop firm challenge from South Africa
You'll pay in US dollars. These are the costs to expect and the options South African traders use.
Cards
Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards work at almost every firm. Your bank converts the price to rand at its own rate, which is usually a little worse than the market rate.
Crypto
USDT avoids card conversion but adds exchange and network fees. Payments can't be reversed, so check every detail.
Proof of payment
Keep the invoice and the bank or blockchain reference for every challenge.
