Before your first payout you complete identity verification (KYC): a valid government photo ID plus a liveness/selfie check. Applicants are also screened against global sanctions and politically-exposed-person lists (AML).
What you'll need
Valid government-issued photo ID
Proof of address
Tax information where required by your jurisdiction
One profile per person
Each natural person may hold one NYS user profile. Multiple trading accounts are allowed under that profile, within the applicable product capital limits.
The minimum age is 18, or the legal age of majority where you live if it is higher.
Using a family member's or any third party's identity is prohibited, and so is letting someone else use yours.
Trading accounts are held by natural persons; a company cannot be the account holder.
When it happens
KYC may be requested at any time. The Funded Account is not activated until KYC verification is approved, and no payout is released until it is complete. The Company may require identity and account verification before or after purchase, before progression, before Funded status, before a payout, or at any other time. Verification may also include payment verification, source-of-funds information and additional documentation for compliance or fraud prevention.
Failure to complete or pass verification may result in no payout, no funded progression, suspension, termination, or permanent account closure.
VPN and VPS
Using a VPN or a VPS is allowed, and travel or IP changes are not a breach in themselves. However, suspicious access patterns may trigger an investigation, an account suspension, a payout hold or termination, and we may ask you to verify your identity or location.
Tip
Completing verification early avoids delays on your first payout.
