About PropFirms.co.za

PropFirms.co.za helps South African traders choose prop firms with confidence. We compare firms on the things that decide whether you get paid: rules, costs, payout reliability and support.

Why we started

[EDITOR: 2–3 sentences in your own words: when the site started, what problem you saw (for example, review sites recommending firms that had shut down) and why South Africans needed their own resource.]

Our team

Janel Cage, Lead Reviewer. [EDITOR: paste the bio from Janel’s profile and link to /author/janel/.]

How we test

We buy evaluations with our own money, trade them under normal conditions, request payouts and contact support, then compare each firm’s rules against its official documentation. Our full process is explained in how we rate prop firms.

How we make money

We earn affiliate commissions from some firms, which never decide our ratings or rankings. Read our editorial policy.
