Pay After Pass – Trade First, Pay After You Pass

Pay After Pass is NSF’s performance-first challenge model, designed to reduce upfront cost while still providing a clear path to a funded account.

Instead of paying the full program fee upfront, traders begin with a small refundable entry fee, complete the evaluation, and only pay the remaining balance after successfully passing. This allows traders to prove their skills before making a full financial commitment.

How Pay After Pass Works

  1. Start trading with a low $9.99 refundable entry fee

  2. Complete the evaluation by meeting all profit targets and risk rules

  3. Pay the remaining program balance only after passing

  4. Unlock your funded account and begin trading for payouts

The Stability Rule applies only after an account becomes funded and is designed to promote consistent, risk-managed trading.

  • Encourages steady performance rather than reliance on one oversized trade
