Full Fintokei Review
Our complete independent review of Fintokei, covering all challenge types, rules, payout conditions, and our editorial verdict.
Introduction to Fintokei
Fintokei is the prop trading product of Purple, a Czech fintech group with roots going back to 2011. The platform itself launched in 2023 under CEO David Varga and has rapidly built a reputation for two things: industry-leading payout speed (3 hours 4 minutes average) and genuine program diversity — four distinct evaluation paths covering beginners through professional traders.
Headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic, Fintokei is EU-based and positions itself as a transparent, education-first firm. Up to three free trial accounts are available before any purchase, and all programs come with a built-in loyalty program for active traders.
Who Is Fintokei For?
Fintokei suits a wide range of traders thanks to its four-program structure. The StartTrader 3-step path with 2%/3%/6% incremental targets is genuinely designed for traders still building consistency — not just labelled as a beginner product. The SwiftTrader 100% profit split with no phase 2 target is one of the most competitive single-step offers available for experienced traders. ProTrader's $400,000 maximum account size and €4M scaling ceiling attract serious full-time traders.
Note: Fintokei covers forex, metals, energies, and indices but does
not currently offer crypto or stock CFDs on its own platform. Traders who need crypto exposure should look at crypto-specific prop firms.
Challenge Programs
Four evaluation paths:
- StartTrader (3-Step, Beginner): Designed to build consistency through incremental targets — Phase I: 2%, Phase II: 3%, Phase III: 6%. 3% daily drawdown, 6% max drawdown. Consistency rule: no single day can exceed 40% of total profit. Minimum 3 days, maximum 180 days per phase. Account sizes $5,000–$100,000. Fees $44–$419. Split: 50–100% (scales with progression).
- SwiftTrader (1-Step, Intermediate): 10% profit target, minimum 5 trading days. 3% daily drawdown (equity-based), 6% max drawdown. Requires minimum +3% net profit per payout request. Profit split: 100% — traders keep everything. Account sizes $10,000–$200,000. Fees $119–$1,299.
- ProTrader (2-Step, Pro): Phase I: 8%, Phase II: 6%. 5% daily drawdown (equity-based), 10% max drawdown. Minimum 3 profitable days. Account sizes $5,000–$400,000. Fees $49–$2,399. Split: 80%.
- ProTrader Swing (2-Step): Same 8%/6% targets as ProTrader. 5% daily drawdown (balance-based rather than equity), 10% max drawdown. Fixed at $50,000 account size. Fee $319. Split: 80%. The balance-based daily drawdown (rather than equity-based) makes this more predictable for swing traders holding positions overnight.
Trading Rules and Platforms
Fintokei supports three platforms — a notably different combination from most competitors:
- TradingView — the only major prop firm offering TradingView as a funded trading platform, giving traders access to its advanced charting, screening, and strategy tools natively
- MetaTrader 5
- cTrader
Tradable instruments: forex pairs, CFD metals, CFD energies, CFD indices. Zero commission on oil and indices. Max risk per trade: 3% across all programs.
Payouts
- Average payout processing: 3 hours 4 minutes — the fastest average we have measured across all reviewed firms
- Average payout amount: $3,881 | Highest recorded: $129,032
- Methods: Bank transfer (SEPA), cryptocurrency, e-wallet/Wise
- Scaling ceiling: €4,000,000 — among the highest in the industry
- SwiftTrader split: 100% | ProTrader split: 80% | StartTrader: 50–100%
Our Verdict
Fintokei earns an 8.4 BestProp score. The 3-hour payout average is the fastest we have seen. The TradingView platform integration is unique in the prop firm space. The SwiftTrader 100% profit split and the €4M scaling ceiling are both class-leading features. The EU foundation and Purple fintech group backing provide credibility that many standalone prop firms lack.
The trade-offs: no crypto or stocks, StartTrader's 50% starting split is low, and the 180-day maximum time limit on StartTrader adds pressure for beginners. For forex and commodities traders who prioritise payout speed, platform quality, and high scaling ceilings, Fintokei is one of the strongest offerings in the 2026 prop firm landscape.
