I believe the word you are looking for is accept.

Having US citizens as customers is a liability, a business needs at least make an effort to comply with the law.

This said, here you go:

Happy trading. Smiley

The world is about to embark on a financial revolution. U.S. residents are prohibited from participating by their own government, and will be left behind with nothing but their worthless dollars

I don't know about the website, but it is probably explained in the FAQ if they refuse US citizens and why (laws prolly).
Did you check it out?

Unfortunately you understood correctly….

Not only US citizens but also US residents…

According to the US law, even though we are a foreign company holding  a US$ bank account with a European Bank, we are subject to US money transmitting laws like any other US based company.

Therefore, we should apply for FINCEN registration which is not difficult but, also, we will have to apply for all State licenses which, as you may know by now, it is not an easy issue….

Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to revise this policy but, for the time being, we prefer to be safe than sorry….
