Prop Firms With Weekly Payouts (2026)

Only five forex and crypto prop firms we track offer a 7-day payout cycle, and on three of those plans weekly costs you a lower split or a paid add-on. At a fourth, it's a VIP unlock. Here's what each one really costs.

Take a $100K FundingPips 2-Step Standard account and a $4,000 month. On the weekly reward cycle you keep $2,400. Wait two weeks instead and you keep $3,200; clear the on-demand conditions and you keep all $4,000. That $1,600 gap is the price of "weekly payouts" on that plan, and it's the pattern to watch on this list. Of the 18 firms in our database, only five offer a 7-day payout cycle on a forex or crypto account. On three of them you pay for the speed with a lower split or a paid add-on, and at City Traders Imperium weekly payouts are a VIP-level unlock rather than the starting schedule. Every row below comes from our product captures dated 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-20, and we rechecked BrightFunded's payout article and FundingPips' reward-cycle pages on 2026-10-20.

Fast take
  • Weekly by default, with no split cut: FundedNext Stellar 1-Step (pays weekly, with the first reward after 5 business days), FundingPips 2-Step Pro (weekly at 80%).
  • Weekly after a VIP step: City Traders Imperium's 1-Step and 2-Step allow a first payout "in as little as 7 days", but weekly payouts unlock at the VIP Bronze level.
  • Weekly only if you pay: BrightFunded sells a Weekly add-on (payouts every 7 days) at checkout, and Crypto Fund Trader sells a Weekly Scholarship Request add-on listed at +20%.
  • Weekly at a lower split: FundingPips 2-Step Standard pays weekly at 60%, against 80% bi-weekly and 100% on demand (which needs a 35% consistency score and 7 profitable days).
  • Futures firms such as Take Profit Trader, TradeDay, Lucid, Tradeify and My Funded Futures go further: daily or on-demand requests once you meet their conditions. E8 Markets does the same on forex, and FTMO pays on demand after a 14-day first wait.
  • "Weekly" is when you can request a payout, not when cash lands. Every firm still runs a review, KYC and its own processing time first.

Every weekly payout we could verify, side by side

The table lists only products where the firm itself publishes a 7-day cycle, either as standard, as a paid option or as a VIP-level unlock. "First request" is the earliest a funded account can ask for money; the cycle is how often it can ask after that. Fees are list prices for a $100K account (or the closest size), before coupons.

Not on the list: Apex Trader Funding advertises weekly payouts, but our last verified Apex capture is from 2026-09-14, outside our 30-day rule, so we don't quote it here. FTMO isn't on it either, because it has no weekly cycle: rewards are on demand after a 14-day wait (see the on-demand section below).

FundedNext Stellar 1-Step: weekly by default, refund later

FundedNext's Stellar 1-Step page says you "keep up to 95% of your performance reward, paid every 5 business days." The base share is 80%; the 95% needs paid add-ons. Five business days is a calendar week if no public holiday gets in the way, and it's the only weekly cycle on this list that comes standard with a one-phase challenge. The account needs 2 minimum trading days, and the $100K tier lists at $569.99.

The gotcha: the fast cycle doesn't speed up your fee refund. On new 1-Step accounts the refund comes with the third reward, not the first. If you're comparing it with Stellar 2-Step, which refunds the fee with the first reward but makes you wait 21 days and then pays every 14, you're trading cash-flow speed for a faster refund. Stellar Lite sits in between: on accounts bought or reset from 12 Oct 2026, the first reward is available after 10 business days and then every 10 business days (older accounts: 21 days, then every 14; FundedNext help center, checked 2026-10-20).

FundingPips: weekly at 80% on Pro, weekly at 60% on Standard

FundingPips is the clearest case of "same firm, two different prices for speed." On 2-Step Pro, the standard route is weekly at 80%: FundingPips' help center says "every 7 calendar days after the first executed trade." The alternative is 100% on demand, with the same 35% consistency and 7-profitable-day conditions as Standard. On the weekly route the first request comes 7 days in, and the minimum request is 1% of the account ($1,000 on $100K, counted before the split). New and reset Pro accounts need 0 minimum trading days per phase. The $100K Pro lists at $422, the cheapest $100K weekly option we found.

2-Step Standard lets you pick the cycle instead. FundingPips' help center, checked 2026-10-20, now lists three reward cycles: Weekly 60%, Bi-Weekly 80% or On Demand 100%. The former Monthly 100% and On Demand 90% options are gone. Here's the $4,000 example from the top, in full:

FundingPips 2-Step Standard: what a $4,000 profit pays on each reward cycle
Reward cycleYour splitYou keep from $4,000Cost vs 100% on demand
Weekly60%$2,400$1,600
Bi-weekly80%$3,200$800
On demand100%$4,000$0, if you meet the conditions

Read that table before you tick "weekly." On Standard, the weekly route is the most expensive way to get paid: $1,600 of a $4,000 month. On demand at 100% pays the full $4,000 with no fixed wait, but only if no single day is more than 35% of your profit and you have at least 7 profitable days of 0.5% or more ($500 each on $100K). The gotcha: on-demand accounts also fall under FundingPips' Striking System with a 1% trigger. A second strike halves your split, a third drops it to 20% and a fourth breaches the account. The weekly and bi-weekly cycles have no consistency score, so they suit traders whose profit comes in one or two big days.

City Traders Imperium: first payout from day 7, weekly at VIP Bronze

CTI's 1-Step and 2-Step pages, checked 2026-10-20, both say "Request your 1st payout in as little as 7 days." After that they publish no standard cycle. Instead, you "keep performing to unlock 90%, then 100% profit share, plus weekly and anytime payouts" as you climb CTI's VIP ladder, which lists weekly payouts at Bronze and anytime payouts at Silver. Both products start at an 80% split. At $100K, the 1-Step lists at $449 and the 2-Step at $549, and both need 3 minimum trading days. Check what CTI asks for Bronze before you count on a weekly cycle.

Don't assume it carries over to every CTI product. Instant Funding publishes a 5-day first payout but no standard cycle (its page also puts weekly payouts at VIP Bronze). Direct Funding is the exception: its page says "Your first payout unlocks on demand from day 5, with no fixed schedule and no minimum profitable trading days" (checked 2026-10-20). Recheck the product page before paying.

BrightFunded: weekly is a checkout add-on

BrightFunded's own payout article, which we reread on 2026-10-20, says the first Reward Split can be requested 30 days after your first funded trade and then "bi-weekly (14 days)." The same article lists two checkout add-ons: a "Bi-weeky [sic] add-on (Payouts every 14 days)" and a "Weekly add-on (Payouts every 7 days)." The homepage also advertises "Weekly Payouts, Available."

Two things the article doesn't settle. It calls the 14-day cycle both the default and an add-on, and it doesn't say whether the Weekly add-on also shortens the 30-day wait for the first payout. Ask support or check the checkout screen before you rely on a 7-day first payout. What is clear: the split stays at 80% by default, 90% is a separate paid add-on, and you can reach 100% through the scaling plan. Payouts go out in USDC (ERC-20) or by bank transfer in euros.

Why it still makes the shortlist: BrightFunded's 2-Step Bright is €477 for $100K, it has no consistency rule on any of its three plans, and it's one of the few firms on this list that our data marks as available to traders in Russia. If you want weekly payouts without a split cut, the Weekly add-on is the route.

Want weekly payouts and no consistency rule? Add BrightFunded's Weekly add-on at checkout, then confirm on the order screen what it does to your first payout date.

Crypto Fund Trader: 7 traded days, not 7 calendar days

CFT's standard 2-Phase and 1-Phase schedule is slow: you can request a reward "after trading for at least 15 days, or alternatively, every 30 calendar days." The FAQ (checked 2026-10-19) lists a paid Weekly Scholarship Request add-on, priced at +20%, that lets you request after 7 traded days. If the +20% applies to the challenge fee, that's about $132 on the $660 $100K 2-Phase.

The gotcha is the word "traded." Seven traded days means seven days on which you actually placed trades. Trade three days a week and your "weekly" cycle stretches past two calendar weeks. CFT's store also sells a 15% "Bi Weekly Payouts" add-on that the FAQ doesn't describe. Break accounts are the exception: they pay on demand once you've passed, paid the activation fee and cleared a 40% consistency check.

Faster than weekly: the daily and on-demand firms

If weekly is the goal because you want money sooner, several firms already beat it. They mostly trade futures, and their speed comes with tighter payout conditions such as winning-day counts, buffers and consistency caps.

  • FTMO (forex): FTMO's promo page says rewards "can be requested on demand after a minimum of 14 days from your first demo trade," and its withdrawal FAQ allows a claim "on the 14th or any following day after the first trade" (both checked 2026-10-20). The catch is that 14-day first wait, twice as long as the 7-day first request at FundingPips Pro or CTI, and all positions must be closed when you claim. The split is 80% on 2-Step (90% on 1-Step). See the FTMO review.
  • E8 Markets (forex): E8's help center says "Payout frequency: You can request every day!" on E8 Pro, and our data (rechecked 2026-10-19; E8 Signature 2026-10-20) lists on-demand payouts on all five E8 products. See the E8 Markets review for the drawdown options that come with each.
  • Take Profit Trader (futures): after you pass, the PRO account is "eligible for day-one and daily payouts." The Take Profit Trader review covers the buffer you need first.
  • TradeDay Quick Pay (futures): you can request "after just one day of trading," but Quick Pay plans start at a 50% split, so speed costs you half the profit.
  • Lucid Trading (futures): "There is no fixed payout window," and you can request any day once you're eligible. On LucidFlex, requesting during the trading session needs the daily loss limit switched on at checkout; with it off, payouts follow the end-of-day schedule. The Lucid review has current Pro, Flex, Direct and Daily list prices.
  • Tradeify and My Funded Futures: Tradeify's Select Daily has daily eligibility (Select Flex pays every 5 winning days), and MFF's Rapid plan lists a daily payout cadence. MFF's Pro plan is bi-weekly instead.

For context, the common forex default is still a 14-day cycle: Maven's standard plans (first payout 10 business days after your first funded trade), OFP's Instant Classic and Plus, Alpha Capital's bi-weekly Pro variants and FXIFY's Lightning (first payout after 7 days, then every 14). FXIFY's phase challenges go monthly unless you buy a bi-weekly add-on.

What "weekly payouts" doesn't promise

Every cycle above is a request window. After you click "request," each firm runs its own review: KYC, a rule check and, at several firms, a consistency test or a minimum amount. CFT says it averages about 8 hours and allows up to 48 business hours for review and payment; most others publish no standard. A weekly cycle also doesn't help if a consistency rule holds back your best day. Run your numbers through the consistency-rule guide first. And all of these are simulated accounts: the money you're paid is a reward from the firm, not a withdrawal from a funded brokerage account.

Which weekly payout should you pick?

  • Lowest entry fee for a weekly 80% cycle: FundingPips 2-Step Pro, $422 for $100K, first request after 7 days.
  • Weekly on a one-phase challenge: FundedNext Stellar 1-Step, which pays weekly, with the first reward after 5 business days, if you can wait until the third reward for the fee refund.
  • First payout from day 7, with weekly and a bigger split to grow into: City Traders Imperium 1-Step or 2-Step, starting at 80%. Weekly payouts unlock at VIP Bronze.
  • Weekly without a consistency rule, with Russia access: BrightFunded with the Weekly add-on. Confirm the first-payout date at checkout.
  • Skip: FundingPips 2-Step Standard's weekly 60% route, unless getting paid this week matters more than 40% of your profit. If your days are even, the 100% on-demand route pays more and has no fixed wait.

Once you've shortlisted a firm, compare its full challenge rules on our challenge comparison, then open the payout page on the firm's own site and read the conditions for the exact plan you're buying.

FAQ

Which prop firms offer weekly payouts in 2026?

FundedNext (Stellar 1-Step pays weekly, with the first reward after 5 business days) and FundingPips (2-Step Pro at 80%, 2-Step Standard at 60%) offer a weekly cycle without an add-on. BrightFunded and Crypto Fund Trader offer weekly cycles as paid add-ons, and City Traders Imperium unlocks weekly payouts on its 1-Step and 2-Step at VIP Bronze. All were checked on 2026-10-19 or 2026-10-20.

Which prop firm pays out the fastest?

On request timing, the daily and on-demand firms: Take Profit Trader's PRO accounts, TradeDay Quick Pay, Lucid, Tradeify Select Daily, MFF Rapid, E8 Markets and FTMO (on demand once 14 days have passed since your first trade). Faster requests usually come with stricter conditions or, at TradeDay Quick Pay, a 50% split.

Do weekly payouts cost extra?

Sometimes. FundedNext Stellar 1-Step and FundingPips 2-Step Pro include them at an 80% split, and at CTI they come with the VIP Bronze level rather than a fee. FundingPips 2-Step Standard drops you to 60% on the weekly cycle (100% is only available on demand, with consistency conditions), and BrightFunded and Crypto Fund Trader charge for a weekly add-on.

Is the first payout also weekly?

Not always. FundingPips 2-Step Pro and CTI allow the first request after 7 days, and FundedNext Stellar 1-Step after 5 business days. BrightFunded's standard first payout comes after 30 days, and its help article doesn't say whether the Weekly add-on shortens that.

Does FTMO pay weekly?

No. It pays on demand instead: FTMO says rewards "can be requested on demand after a minimum of 14 days from your first demo trade" (checked 2026-10-20). Your first claim comes on day 14 or later, and after that there is no fixed cycle to wait for. See the FTMO review for its current rules.

Is there a free way to test a weekly payout firm?

BrightFunded's Free $1K Challenge can lead to a funded account with an 80% split, and FundedNext and FundingPips run free practice trials. Our prop firm free trial guide lists what each one allows.
