What is KYC?
KYC stands for Know Your Customer (or Know Your Client). It refers to the identity verification process that financial institutions and trading firms use to comply with regulations and prevent fraud.
When is KYC required?
Most prop trading firms require traders to complete KYC after passing the evaluation or challenge stage and before receiving access to a funded account. This ensures the trader is who they claim to be and supports compliance with anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations.
How do I complete KYC?
You’ll usually need to submit:
A clear selfie
A valid, government-issued ID (e.g., passport, national ID card, driver’s license, or residence permit)
Make sure that:
Your ID is valid and unexpired
All four corners are visible in the image
You upload both front and back of the document if applicable
You use an accepted image format (JPEG or PNG)
Some firms may also request proof of address or additional documents.
What happens after verification?
Once your documents are verified, your account will be upgraded to a funded or live account, and you’ll be able to trade real capital.
If more information is needed, the verification team will contact you via the email linked to your account.
Can I link multiple emails or accounts to the same person?
No, you cannot link multiple emails to the same person. A user can have only one verified email linked to their account. It isn’t possible to connect multiple emails to the same profile, nor to use different accounts to represent the same person. This policy helps us keep accounts secure, prevent duplication, and ensure a smooth experience across our platform.
