Which Countries Can Trade Vest Capital? Restricted List Explained
Updated · 2 min read
Vest Capital publishes a list of Prohibited Jurisdictions, not a complete list of approved countries. The Terms name China (including mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao), Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Russia and Syria. Any country not named is not automatically confirmed as eligible; ask Vest support before purchasing if your country matters to the decision.
- Confirmed by Vest's published Terms: the named prohibited list is seven jurisdictions/countries, with China expressly including Hong Kong and Macao.
- Not confirmed by the Terms: a complete worldwide list of countries that Vest Capital accepts.
- The United States, Mexico and Canada are not named in the list, but Vest has not expressly confirmed them as eligible.
- Never use a VPN, false residence, or borrowed identity to bypass a restriction.
Countries and regions Vest explicitly lists as prohibited
| Status | Countries / regions |
|---|---|
| Named as Prohibited Jurisdictions in Vest Capital Terms | China (including mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao), Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Russia and Syria |
This table restates the published Terms; it is not a compliance-screening tool. Sanctions status, residency, location and Vest's policies can affect an individual outcome beyond a country name.
Countries not named in the public list
Vest does not publish an equivalent list titled “eligible countries.” That creates an important gap: a resident of a country omitted from the prohibited list has not found an explicit ban in that document, but has not received an official approval either. This applies to common searches including the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Use the right label
Say “not named as restricted in the published Terms” — not “allowed” — unless Vest has confirmed the country directly.
How to verify your country before buying
- Read the current Vest Capital Terms, not a cached search result.
- Contact Vest through Intercom or support@vestmarkets.com and give your actual country of residence (and province/state where relevant).
- Ask whether you may purchase, trade, claim profits, and withdraw USDC through Vest Capital from that residence.
- Keep the answer in writing and check the Terms again immediately before payment.
Vest's Capital documentation identifies Intercom and support@vestmarkets.com as its support channels.
Why country eligibility can change
Availability can change when a company updates its compliance program, provider relationships, product design, or interpretation of local requirements. A checkout screen, a social post, or someone else's successful account is weaker evidence than a current written answer from Vest.
