Fintokei now generates 75 percent of its business in Japan and the rest from a few central European countries.
The brand now aims at broader Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

Fintokei, the prop trading brand backed by the Seychelles-registered entity of Purple Trading, is taking its services globally by focusing on new markets like Australia, Europe, and Southeast Asia, Finance Magnates has learned exclusively. The company also has plans to enter the Latin American markets in the future.
Expansion Begins with a Pilot
Although headquartered in the Czech Republic, the prop trading brand was launched and popularised in Japan. However, it debuted in selected central European markets like the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia six months ago. Now, it is going to expand further.
However, it will steer away from the United States and India due to regulatory reasons. It also temporarily restricts traders from Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China.
Since its launch in 2021, Japan has been the primary market for the prop trading brand, generating 75 percent of its business. Interestingly, demand in the few European markets has increased, as they are already generating the remaining 25 percent of the business. The platform has “slightly less than 1,000” funded accounts.
David Varga, co-founder of Fintokei and a board member of Purple Trading
When it comes to the success rate of passing the challenges, David Varga, co-founder of Fintokei and a board member of Purple Trading, pointed out that “it is pretty much around the industry standard.”
In 2024 so far, the pass rate from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the challenges was about 15 to 20 percent, whereas from Phase 2 to the funded stage was about 15 to 25 percent. So overall, only 2 to 5 percent of the traders taking the challenge were getting funded.
Interestingly, “the European clients are being more successful compared to Japanese ones,” Varga revealed.
Furthermore, according to Fintokei, about 40 percent of the funded traders are actually getting payouts, and the average payout this year was €4,473.
A Crowded Market
With the expansion, Fintokei will face tough competition. There are hundreds of brands, big and small, in the market now, and even many FX and CFDs brokers are launching their own prop trading brands. Recently, Trade.com and Traders Trust were two brokerage brands to launch their prop trading platforms.
Commenting on how to stand out in the crowded market, Varga said that “being backed by Purple Group, and by a reputable broker with a long history, robust infrastructure, and experience from running businesses in regulated financial markets” will help.
He further pointed out that Fintokei has a “good ratio between price and the challenge conditions on the ProTrader evaluation program.”
