Do not accept residents

Not confirmed

"Accepts" means the country is not on the broker's published restricted list. Brokers can still decline individual applications, and the entity you join (and its protections) depends on where you live. Always confirm on the broker's own website before opening an account. "Not confirmed" means we could not find a published list we trust.
