KYC: prove who you are (plain steps)

KYC means we check your identity documents. You do it before a funded account is issued — not before you buy or start the evaluation. A failed KYC can void related challenges with no refund.

  1. Step 1

    Open KYC and match the ID exactly

    Sign in and open KYC. Type your legal name and country exactly as they appear on the passport or national ID. A nickname or a different spelling from Profile can delay review.

    Upload a clear photo of the document and a selfie as the form asks. Light on your face, no crop that cuts numbers, no screenshot of a screenshot. Blurry files get delayed or rejected.

    You do not need KYC to buy a challenge on the Shop or to start evaluation trading. You need it before funded credentials and Payouts.

    Wait for pending → approved or rejected

    After submit, status becomes pending. You cannot skip this to get funded credentials. Watch email. Approved unlocks the next funded step. Rejected explains what to fix — upload again on the same KYC page. Some files also appear under Documents.

    Telegram Mini App may send you back to the full website in a normal browser to finish uploads. That is expected.

    Failed KYC can void related challenges with no refund — read Trading Rules before you ignore a rejection email.

Request a payout when you have never withdrawn

Payouts are your profit share in crypto after funded rules (and KYC). Save a wallet first, wait until the panel says you are eligible, then submit. A wrong network can lose the coins forever.

After you pay: wait, then copy trading login

A green paid order is not MetaTrader. We still have to create the demo account. When it is ready you get an email and three fields appear in Credentials. Often this takes up to about 24 hours.

Certificates: download after a phase is marked passed

Pass certificates appear after OUR engine marks the phase complete — not the moment MetaTrader shows profit. They are PDF downloads, not payouts, and they do not replace KYC.
