KYC & Verification
Identity verification is one-time. Two-Phase: at eval pass (KYC + the Trader Agreement, then your funded account is issued). One-Phase and Trade League: before your first payout. You don't need it to sign up, buy, or trade — and you can complete it early from your dashboard. Once you pass, it applies to all your current and future accounts.

Identity verification (KYC) is a one-time step, and when it happens depends on the product:
- Two-Phase challenges: when you pass the evaluation. You'll receive an email with instructions to complete KYC and sign the Trader Agreement with Prop Account LC — then your funded account is issued at no additional charge.
- One-Phase challenges and Trade League: before your first payout.
- Affiliates: before your first commission withdrawal.
You do not need to verify to:
- Sign up
- Purchase a challenge or Trade League entry
- Trade your account
Verification is completed securely from your dashboard (verification powered by Sumsub), and you can do it early — any time from your dashboard — if you'd rather get it out of the way.
It's one-time: once you pass, verification applies across all your current and future accounts, so later payouts and purchases don't require re-verification.
Verification is also how the one profile per person rule is enforced. Falsifying identity documents is fraudulent registration and grounds for a permanent ban.
