About Us

Built by traders.
Made for South Africans.

We're building the prop firm we always wished existed back home — fair rules, fast payouts, and capital that backs the right kind of trader.

The mission is simple.

South Africa has some of the most disciplined, hungry retail traders in the world — but the path from skill to capital has always been broken. International prop firms charge in dollars, withhold payouts, and treat African traders like an afterthought.

We exist to change that. Cleared Capital is a prop firm built locally, priced in rand, and run by people who actually trade. If you can prove your discipline, we'll back you with capital — and pay you out fast, in your own bank account, in your own currency.

80%
Profit Split
The highest split in the SA market — because traders deserve more of what they earn.

What we stand for

Four principles guide every decision we make — from the rules of the challenge to how we pay you out.

Transparent rules
No hidden tripwires. No "consistency rules" announced after you've already passed. What you see at signup is what you trade by.
Fast payouts
On-demand withdrawals. EFT direct to your bank. No 30-day waiting periods, no minimum trading days, no excuses.
Local-first
Priced in rand. Paid in rand. Built for SA banking, SA timezones, SA support — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Real support
Real humans who answer in hours, not days. We've been on the wrong side of bad support — we won't put traders through the same.
Discipline rewarded
Our challenge tests what actually matters — risk management and consistency. Lucky one-off trades won't pass. Sustained discipline will.
Second chances
Breached your account? Every funded trader has been there. Discounted resets and zero shame — get back in and grow.

Where we came from

A short version of how Cleared Capital came to be.

The idea started where most good things in trading start: at 3am, watching a chart, frustrated by yet another international prop firm that wouldn't pay out in rand, charged in USD, and routed support through a Discord bot.

South African traders are good — really good. We grew up trading at unusual hours because of timezones, with limited capital, navigating exchange controls and currency volatility nobody else had to think about. The traders who survive that environment have a kind of discipline that's rare in the rest of the world.

But our options for getting backed were terrible. Pay in dollars at a punishing exchange rate. Wait two weeks for a payout. Read forum horror stories of unpaid traders. Hope the firm doesn't change the rules retroactively.

So we built the alternative. Cleared Capital is the prop firm we wished existed — designed from the ground up for SA traders, by people who've been on the wrong end of the existing options.
