Invite Only Beta Live-Trading for Non-US Resident Alpaca Users
We want to let you know that we have started an invite-only beta program for non-US resident Alpaca users to open live-trading accounts ✌️.
If you are interested in this, please fill out the form below to be on the list.
How We Send the Invites
Due to the nature of this beta program, there are several restrictions including that the Alpaca Securities LLC brokerage (aka live-trading account on Alpaca) is available internationally on a limited basis for "non-solicited" customers* only.
* Any customer onboarding for live brokerage must electronically sign a Non-Solicitation Agreement certifying that the customer was not directly solicited to open a live brokerage account and must indicate how they became aware of Alpaca.
Although we are working to remove certain restrictions that we have with today’s beta program, we start sending invites to the users who are okay with (1) $30,000 initial funding, and (2) using international-wire transfer to deposit funds. (Pls note that this beta program does not support TransferWise or Revolut option, but supports an international-wire only. ACH does not work with a bank account outside the US.)
Additionally, there are certain jurisdictions that are easier for us to serve users in than others. Unfortunately, working with various jurisdictions has been more complicated than it seems, and we are going to take this into account when sending the invites out. We appreciate your patience and kind understanding that we, unfortunately, cannot be as transparent and straightforward as we want to be in terms of who are receiving the invites first.
How It Works
(1) In this invite-only beta program, we first ask you to fill out the form here.
(2) Once you are selected for an invite, we send a link for you to start a live-trading account opening process for a non-US resident. You should land on the screen like this.
(3) After your live-trading account is approved, please read the Wire Instruction carefully to use international-wire to deposit funds to your live-trading account, so that you can start trading. (Pls note that this beta program does not support TransferWise or Revolut option, but supports an international-wire only. ACH does not work with a bank account outside the US.)
Thank you for your continued support of Alpaca!

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Keep in mind that while diversification may help spread risk it does not assure a profit, or protect against loss, in a down market. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.
