AIFO Payout Guide
How AIFO Payouts Work
An AIFO payout moves from model-specific eligibility and request submission to account review, approval and delivery through the selected payout route. Timing, Profit Split, buffer treatment and account outcome differ across 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant and Sprint.
The minimum payout request is $100. Approval and final receipt are separate stages, and neither same-day approval nor same-day delivery is guaranteed.

Quick Answer
How Does the AIFO Payout Process Work?
First meet the payout conditions for the selected model. Then prepare the account, submit the request, complete AIFO’s trading and compliance review, and wait for the approved payout route to complete settlement.
2. Prepare the Account
Complete KYC, close open positions and pending orders, and confirm the approved payout destination.
3. Submit and Review
Submit the request through the available workflow. AIFO reviews eligibility, trading activity and compliance.

Process
The AIFO Payout Process Step by Step
Step 1
Meet the payout conditions
Satisfy the selected model’s timing, eligible-profit, account-status and withdrawal conditions. Step accounts have no Consistency Score; Instant and Sprint use different profit-concentration calculations.
Step 2
Confirm your account is review-ready
Complete KYC, close open positions and pending orders, confirm the payout destination, and resolve any account-status, breach or compliance issue before submission.
Step 3
Submit the payout request
Once the account is eligible, the trader submits a payout request through the relevant AIFO workflow or dashboard path.
Step 4
Internal review and validation
AIFO reviews the applicable trading period, payout eligibility, account activity, rule compliance, KYC and payout destination before approval.
Step 5
Profit split is sent
Once approved, the eligible Profit Split is released through the supported payout channel. Final arrival time may vary by payment method, processor, banking path and region.
Not every payout delay is a rejection. Some requests require additional review, account validation, or payment-channel confirmation before release.
Eligibility
What Must Be True Before You Request a Payout
1. The account is eligible
The account type must allow a payout request under its current stage and rules.
2. The profit is eligible for payout
Not all floating or recently generated profit is automatically payout-ready. Only the amount that qualifies under the payout logic can move forward.
3. The review conditions are met
The account must pass the required internal review and rule checks tied to the payout process.
4. The account remains compliant
Any breach, prohibited behavior review, or unresolved compliance issue can pause or block payout approval.
5. Payout destination details are valid
The trader’s payout channel or receiving information must be complete, usable, and approved where required.
6. Official account-specific conditions are satisfied
Some payout conditions depend on the selected AIFO program. Traders should always cross-check the official payout rules for the exact program they are using.
For exact thresholds, timing windows and program-specific payout conditions, use the official Payout Rules and selected program page rather than relying on a generic summary.
Timing
How Long Does an AIFO Payout Take?
Review Time
Payout timing usually includes two separate stages: internal approval and actual payment delivery. Approval may happen before the funds fully arrive in the destination account.
Why arrival time can vary
Even after approval, final arrival time can depend on payment processor timing, banking rails, regional settlement differences, and whether additional verification is needed.
How traders receive the payout
Once a payout is approved, the profit split is sent through the available payout route linked to the trader’s account and approved payout setup.
Important note
The processing logic and the payment method are related, but they are not the same thing. A request can be approved before the receiving channel completes final settlement.
Approval time and final receipt time are not identical. Payout on demand describes when an eligible request may be submitted; it does not guarantee instant approval or same-day delivery.
Buffer
What Is the AIFO Payout Buffer?
Payout-buffer treatment depends on the selected account model. The 1-Step and 2-Step programs have no mandatory payout buffer. Instant requires a 2% buffer only when the trader chooses to continue the account after payout; taking the full available payout closes the account. Sprint has no continuing buffer because the account closes after its one payout.
Always apply the payout and continuation conditions for the selected model instead of assuming one buffer rule applies to every AIFO account.
Step programs
1-Step and 2-Step accounts have no mandatory payout buffer.
Instant
A 2% buffer applies only if the trader wants the account to continue after payout. A full available payout closes the account.
Sprint
There is no continuing payout buffer. Sprint closes after its one payout.
Check the selected model’s payout eligibility, continuation, and account-closure conditions before requesting a payout.
Delays
Why an AIFO Payout May Be Delayed
Incomplete payout eligibility
The request was submitted before all payout conditions were fully satisfied.
Review still in progress
The account may still be under normal payout review or additional validation.
Account activity requires verification
Certain account patterns or compliance checks can require manual confirmation before release.
Receiving method needs confirmation
The payout destination may need additional confirmation or may take longer to settle after approval.
Program misunderstanding
The trader may be reading general payout guidance instead of the exact rules attached to the account type being used.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About AIFO Payouts
How do AIFO payouts work?
AIFO payouts move through five stages: model-specific eligibility, account readiness, request submission, compliance and trading review, and delivery through the approved payout route. Approval time and final receipt time are separate parts of the process.
When can I request a payout on each AIFO model?
Eligible 1-Step and 2-Step accounts use a standard 14-day payout cycle or payout on demand when the applicable add-on was purchased. Instant requests are on demand when eligible. Sprint allows one payout: the Standard request must be submitted within 30 days after settlement, while reaching at least 6% closed net profit during the trading window allows an early Enhanced request.
Is all account profit immediately available for payout?
Not always. Total account profit and payout-eligible profit are not necessarily the same at the same time. The available amount depends on closed eligible profit, the selected model’s timing and concentration conditions, account status, compliance and review.
What is the AIFO payout buffer?
The Step programs have no mandatory payout buffer. Instant requires a 2% buffer only when the trader chooses to continue the account after payout; taking the full available payout closes it. Sprint has no continuing buffer because the account closes after its one payout.
What is the minimum AIFO payout and profit split?
The minimum payout request is $100. AIFO 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant display an 80%–95% Profit Split depending on the selected configuration and scaling eligibility. Sprint uses a 90% Standard or 95% Enhanced one-time Profit Split.
How long does an AIFO payout take?
Payout timing includes internal review and payment-route settlement. Approval does not guarantee same-day receipt, because KYC, compliance checks, additional verification, processors, banks and regional payment rails can affect final delivery.
What should I complete before submitting a payout request?
Confirm model-specific eligibility, complete KYC, close open positions and pending orders, verify the payout destination, and make sure the account has no unresolved breach, compliance or review issue.
Where should I check the exact payout conditions?
Use the AIFO Payout Rules page for current withdrawal conditions, the Trading Rules page for account compliance, and the selected program page for model-specific timing, concentration, buffer and account-closure requirements.
