Worth knowing who you are actually applying to. Both eToro ISAs, managed and do-it-yourself, are Moneyfarm products surfaced inside eToro, and eToro's own pages set eligibility only at 18 and UK resident. The refusal sits with Moneyfarm, which decided not to accept further US persons and counts dual nationals where one nationality is American.

Both eToro doors are shut and they shut on opposite groups. The UK terms treat US residents and citizens as a blocked country, while the US arm says it cannot serve US citizens who live outside the States, which is precisely where you are.

Account names link to the provider's own site. momo has no active affiliate partnerships; if that changes it will be disclosed and will never change a verdict. Every institution, A to Z.

Confirm your own position with a cross-border specialist. Acceptance policies and tax rules change, and your facts may differ from the general case.

Tax

PFIC

Almost every UK-domiciled fund is a PFIC, taxed by the US at punitive rates with heavy filing. This is why US citizens hold individual shares, not UK funds.

 Tax

ISA US tax

The IRS does not recognise the ISA wrapper. Cash ISA interest and stocks ISA gains are taxable on your US return, and fund holdings drag in PFIC rules.

 Tax

FATCA

FATCA makes UK banks report accounts held by US persons to the IRS. It is not a tax; it is a reporting trail. Where it bites is access.
