Case Study: FTMO improves US approval ratios 20%+ and scales payouts with Nuvei
Key results
The challenge
FTMO operates in the fast-growing proprietary trading sector, where platforms win by paying users quickly, reliably, and without friction. FTMO needed to offer near real-time payouts globally and establish a payment strategy to enter and perform in the US market.
The solution
Nuvei combined instant payout capability with a dedicated domestic US acquiring strategy in one partnership. It implemented Visa Direct and Mastercard Send for near real-time disbursements, and enabled FTMO to process US traffic as a domestic entity through JV Prop Corporation rather than cross-border.
The results, in context
By routing locally in the US, FTMO achieved a 20%+ increase on previous approval-ratio levels, and users globally now receive payouts at near real-time speed via Visa Direct and Mastercard Send.
