Restricted countries
Which residents can access the Futures Programs, and how eligibility is determined.
Eligibility is determined by your country of permanent residence, not by your temporary physical location. You may travel to a restricted jurisdiction and continue trading, provided you remain a resident of an eligible country. It is your responsibility to ensure that your access is lawful where you reside.
The Futures Programs are available to residents of eligible jurisdictions, including the United States. They are not offered to residents of jurisdictions subject to comprehensive international sanctions or embargoes, or otherwise designated as restricted, under the lists maintained by the United Nations, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union and the United Kingdom.
