Meridian Funded was founded in 2024 in Dubai by a team of institutional traders and engineers. Our mission: rebuild the prop firm experience around transparency, speed and respect for our community.
Meridian Funded was born out of a frustration familiar to thousands of proprietary traders: opaque rules, sluggish payouts, moving goalposts. The first prop firms opened an extraordinary opportunity for skilled traders without large capital. Over time, too many of them started optimising against their own traders rather than alongside them.
We launched in Dubai in 2024 with a simple thesis: a prop firm should treat consistent traders like partners. Transparent rules, a flat drawdown model, no consistency rule, payouts in 72 hours, and a scaling plan that actually scales. We built the platform and the risk engine in-house, with a small, focused team.
Today Meridian Funded serves over 8,200 funded traders across 87 countries, with more than $12.4M paid out in performance rewards. We remain fully self-funded, with no outside capital forcing us to compromise on our community.
Every rule, every fee, every exception is public. No fine print, no hidden clauses designed to catch traders.
72-hour payouts, instant dashboard, 24/7 support. Your time is the most expensive asset you trade.
Our Scaling Plan and 90% split are engineered so your success compounds with ours.
No gotcha rules. No "consistency" policing. Your strategy is yours. We stay out of your way.
