- How do Popular Investors receive their payments?
-
The payments for all Popular Investors are sent to their eToro account and automatically withdrawn to their method of payment.
- What can prevent a Popular Investor from getting paid?
-
Popular Investors are paid based on their AUC, however, breaching any Popular Investor guidelines or not meeting the requirements, will result in the payment being revoked.

-
A Popular Investor is expected to update their copiers at least once per month. However, more frequent updates are encouraged.
- If I move down a tier, can I move back up?
-
Of course. As a Popular Investor, you can always move back up to a tier that you were in, as long as you meet the requirements.
- Do I need to have an eToro trading account to be a Popular Investor?
-
Yes. By having your own trading account, you are able to show your trading strategy. Gaining copiers shows that other traders trust you to make trading decisions for them based on your performance.
- What are AUC and Equity?
-
AUC stands for Assets Under Copy. In Popular Investor terms, this is the amount of money copying your portfolio.
Equity refers to the value of your account. - How can I be featured on the discover tool?
-
The discover tool is an automated tool showing different parameters, which change from time to time.
You can see the chosen filters by viewing the URL, or each preset, or view all filters at once by clicking “View All.”
- How can I become more visible and gain copiers?
-
Generating high quality content on your feed and bringing friends and family to copy your portfolio are the best ways to start growing your AUC.
- Where can I read the Terms and Conditions and Guiding Principles?
- What is the eToro Club? How do Popular Investors gain membership?
-
The eToro Club is an exclusive program for our most valued clients, enhancing their experience on eToro with personalised service and other premium advantages. Membership is divided into five tiers, each with its own perks. The higher the membership tier, the more offers are available.
As an added benefit, eToro Popular Investors receive an automatic upgrade to Club membership as follows:
𝘾𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙩 = 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙
𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣 = 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙢
𝙀𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚 = 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙢 𝙋𝙡𝙪𝙨
𝙀𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤 = 𝘿𝙞𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙙
This upgrade occurs on a monthly basis, therefore, it may take up to 30 days to see your Club level updated accordingly. If you already qualify for a higher Club tier, that takes precedence over the Popular Investor tier (in other words, you will always retain the higher Club tier available to you).
