Instant Funding is a forex/CFD prop firm founded in June 2022 and based in the United Kingdom. We track 52 of its challenges (1-step, instant funding), with account sizes of $625-$120K and list fees of $25-$6,049. Platforms: cTrader, Match Trader and MT5.

Verdict: Proceed with caution: weak or compromised trust signals.

Instant Funding renamed most of its plans on 23 September 2026 (for example, Original became Pro and Go became Lite), so some plan names in the table below may be out of date.
