Using Autopilot outside the US: what works, what doesn't, which brokerages might, and how the international waitlist works

I'm Chris, co-founder of Autopilot. We get this one from all over the world, and I'd rather give you the straight answer than a hopeful one. Autopilot works inside a brokerage account, so where it works is decided by where the brokerages we connect to will open accounts. Here's what that means for you if you're outside the United States, what might work, and how to get told when your country opens up.

One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.

1) The honest answer

Autopilot is available mainly to customers in the United States. If you're outside the US, you may not be able to connect a brokerage or use the full platform yet. That isn't a policy against you; it's the shape of the product. We don't hold your money or open accounts for you; you connect an account you already have at a brokerage we support, and most of those brokerages serve US residents. Without a connectable account there's nothing for Autopilot Advisers to have limited authority to send orders to, and nothing for your broker to fill them.

2) What might work

Some of the brokerages we connect to may support customers in other countries, and our help center names eToro, Alpaca, and Schwab as ones that may. Whether they do depends on your country and on the brokerage, and it is not a promise. So the sequence matters: before you open an account anywhere for the purpose of using Autopilot, ask our support team whether your specific country and brokerage combination will work. Opening an account first and asking second is how people end up with an account they don't need. The brokerage list and what to do if yours isn't on it is in Which brokerages work with Autopilot, and what if yours doesn't?, and I wrote the eToro page specifically in How Autopilot works with your eToro account.

3) Canada, the UK, and everywhere else

I can't give you a country-by-country table, because it would be wrong within a month. What I can tell you is the rule: you need a brokerage account that we connect to and that you're allowed to hold where you live. For Canada and the UK the same rule applies as anywhere else outside the US, and the same advice: ask support with your country and preferred brokerage before you do anything. We are working on more brokerage partners so we can serve more countries, and the waitlist is how you find out when yours is covered.

4) The waitlist

Send our support team three things: your name, your email, and the brokerage you'd prefer to use. That gets you on the international waitlist, and we let you know when Autopilot becomes available in your country. You can reach support through the chat in the app or by email, and you don't need a connected brokerage to do it.

5) What you can do in the meantime

Everything we publish about how following works, how to read a track record, and what the Portfolios are is public and doesn't need an account. If you're going to follow a Portfolio the day your country opens, the useful work now is learning to read the fact sheets so you pick well: start with How to read a Portfolio's track record before you follow it and Every hedge fund and Wall Street Portfolio you can follow on Autopilot, and how each one works.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Autopilot outside the United States?

Autopilot is available mainly to US customers, because it works inside a brokerage account at a brokerage it connects to, and most of those serve US residents. Outside the US you may not be able to connect a brokerage or use the full platform yet. Some connected brokerages may accept customers in other countries; ask support about your country and brokerage before opening any account, and join the international waitlist.

Which brokerages might work with Autopilot for international users?

Autopilot's help center names eToro, Alpaca, and Schwab as brokerages that may support international users, depending on your country and on the brokerage, with no guarantee. Confirm your specific combination with Autopilot support before signing up for a brokerage account, and check the brokerage's own eligibility rules for your country.

Can I use Autopilot from Canada or the UK?

The same rule applies as for any country outside the US: you need an account at a brokerage Autopilot connects to that you're allowed to hold where you live, and whether that exists depends on the brokerage and your country. Ask support with your country and preferred brokerage before opening anything, and join the waitlist so you're told when availability changes.

How do I join Autopilot's international waitlist?

Contact Autopilot support, through the chat in the app or by email, with your name, your email address, and your preferred brokerage. You'll be added to the international waitlist and notified when Autopilot becomes available in your country. You don't need a connected brokerage to join.

TLDR

Autopilot follows a Portfolio inside a brokerage account, so it's available where a supported brokerage will open one for you, which is mainly the US. A few connected brokerages may serve other countries; ask support about yours before opening anything. Join the waitlist with your name, email, and preferred brokerage, and spend the wait learning to read a fact sheet.

Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.

For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.

Availability outside the United States follows Autopilot's public help center as of the publish date; brokerage eligibility by country is set by each brokerage and can change, and nothing here promises availability in any country. Nothing here is a recommendation or a claim about results.
