✓ Why traders pick Purdia Capital
  • Zero payout denials track record
  • 90% / 10% profit split
  • 100K evaluation from $49 for the first month
✕ Keep in mind
  • Evaluations bill monthly — $49 is first month only
  • Capped at 3 funded accounts
💡 30-second verdict
Purdia now runs two routes. The 100K Pro evaluation is the cheap way in — $49 for the first month plus a $1 activation fee during the August promo — billed monthly until you pass. Instant Funded skips the evaluation entirely for a one-time $349–$849. Both carry the 90/10 split and the zero-denial payout record.
