Trade funded capital up to $400K. Keep up to 90%. From $49, refunded on your first payout.
Malaysian traders get a $49 entry fee refunded on the first payout, profit share defaulting to 80%, a 90% add-on sold on $50K+ One-Phase and $100K+ Two-Phase accounts, and USDT/USDC crypto payouts that settle in minutes regardless of local banking hours. Challenges scale from $5K to $400K with no time limits, and we accept Bank Transfer, crypto, or PayPal. FundingPips, FundedNext and E8 all open below our $49 entry; FundingPips and FundedNext refund that fee the same way we do, while E8 does not, so it is worth comparing on price. You can also test our rules for free every two weeks via the FundedFast Open.

Why can't FundedFast pay out via DuitNow or FPX?
DuitNow and FPX, the rails most Malaysian traders use for everyday transfers and online banking, are MYR-denominated domestic systems operated by PayNet. DuitNow's only live cross-border link runs to Singapore's PayNow; neither system is built to receive a USD or EUR payout from a company outside Malaysia. That's why FundedFast pays via SWIFT bank transfer, cryptocurrency (USDT/USDC), or PayPal instead: all three can move foreign-currency funds internationally in a way DuitNow and FPX aren't designed for. Crypto is the fastest of the three for Malaysian traders because it skips the correspondent-banking chain a SWIFT transfer runs through.

Why Malaysia traders choose FundedFast
Crypto and SWIFT settle payouts in USD/EUR since DuitNow and FPX, Malaysia's local rails, only move MYR. Our $49 2-phase entry is fair on price, and the fee comes back on your first payout, as it does at every firm on this list except E8 Funding. There's no 30-day countdown telling you when to trade. Evaluations run on your schedule. Trading hours cover the Asian and London sessions for Kuala Lumpur-based traders. If you're comparing the best prop firms in Malaysia and want to test our rules without committing serious capital, the $5K 2-Phase challenge is $49 and comes back on your first withdrawal.

What to know in Malaysia
Prop trading evaluations are permitted for Malaysian residents. FundedFast is a Malta-based prop firm providing educational simulated challenges on demo accounts. We are not licensed by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) or Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). SC and BNM licensing applies to capital market intermediaries and licensed money service businesses, neither of which describes our activity.

Taxes on funded trader payouts in Malaysia
Funded trader payouts received from abroad are typically treated as foreign-sourced income for Malaysian residents. Under rules effective from 1 January 2022 (LHDN Public Ruling), foreign-sourced income remitted to Malaysia may attract income tax. Treatment depends on source and structure. Consult a local tax consultant before filing your BE form.
General guidance only. Confirm with a local tax advisor before filing.
Are prop trading firms legal in Malaysia?
Prop firms like FundedFast operate legally in Malaysia because we sell skill-based simulated evaluations, not brokerage services, and therefore fall outside the licensing scope of the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). SC licensing covers capital market intermediaries (brokers, fund managers, advisers) and BNM licensing covers money service businesses (currency conversion, remittance). FundedFast does neither: we provide a simulated trading evaluation, fund successful candidates with simulated capital, and pay profit shares from our own treasury.
Can Malaysian traders freely receive a payout from abroad?
Yes. Under Bank Negara Malaysia's Foreign Exchange Policy, Notice 4 on Payment and Receipt, a resident is free to receive a foreign-currency payment from a non-resident for any purpose, with three narrow exceptions covering certain derivative transactions that require prior BNM approval and don't describe a funded-trader payout. There is no BNM-mandated conversion window and no reporting threshold on the receiving side. FundedFast pays out in USD or EUR, and what you do with those funds once they land, including whether and when you convert to Ringgit, is between you and your bank.
How are FundedFast payouts taxed under LHDN's foreign-source income rules?
Funded trader payouts remitted to Malaysian residents are treated as foreign-source income (FSI) and may qualify for tax exemption under LHDN's framework covering 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2036, provided economic-substance conditions are met. The exemption is conditional and the rules have been revised twice since 2022 (most recently June 2024 LHDN guidelines). High-volume traders may not qualify depending on classification. Consult a licensed tax consultant before filing your BE form to confirm whether your specific payout structure qualifies.
Frequently asked questions for traders in Malaysia
Is FundedFast available in Malaysia?
Yes. Malaysian residents can purchase any challenge, trade the evaluation on MatchTrader, and receive payouts once funded. The $5K 2-Phase challenge is the most popular starting point for Malaysian traders.
How do Malaysian traders get paid?
Payouts are issued in USD or EUR via cryptocurrency (USDT/USDC), SWIFT bank transfer, or PayPal. Crypto is popular among Malaysian traders because it settles in minutes and avoids weekend banking delays. MYR is not a payout currency.
Are prop trading profits taxable in Malaysia?
Potentially. Foreign-sourced income remitted to Malaysia may attract income tax under LHDN rules effective from 1 January 2022. Treatment depends on source and how the activity is classified. Consult a licensed tax consultant or filer before submitting your annual BE form.
Is FundedFast licensed by the SC or Bank Negara?
No. FundedFast is not licensed by the Securities Commission Malaysia or by Bank Negara Malaysia. SC licensing covers capital market intermediaries and BNM licensing covers money service businesses. What we sell is an educational simulated trading challenge on a demo account: we do not broker trades, hold client funds, or convert currency. Because we hold no Malaysian licence, none of the protections that licensing provides apply to your purchase.
Can I trade the KLCI or Malaysian stocks?
No. FundedFast offers global forex, major indices (US500, NAS100, DAX, UK100), commodities and crypto via MatchTrader. Bursa Malaysia equities and the KLCI are not available. 40+ forex pairs and the major global indices are supported.
Is FundedFast swap-free for Malaysian Muslim traders?
Muslim traders can ask FundedFast support about a swap-free account configuration on MatchTrader, which removes overnight rollover interest to support Shariah-compliant trading. Availability is confirmed case by case with support, so contact the team before you buy if swap-free is a requirement for you rather than a preference.
