KYC/AML Screening
Before we issue any FutureFunded live account or any type of payout, we require that you verify your ID and pass our KYC/AML screening. Most applicants will have no issue with the screening and will be verified in as little as 5 minutes.
Below are the required steps in order to pass the screening:
Upon successfully completing the evaluation phase you will receive an email with a link to complete your KYC/AML screening.
You will be asked to submit a valid form of ID. This could be a driver's license, passport, ID card, or residence permit.
You will also be asked to submit a valid proof of address issued within the last 90 days. This could be a bank statement, utility bill, or phone bill
You will then be required to take a selfie so that we can match your face to that on your submitted ID
Once you have completed the KYC/AML screening and are verified, you will receive a funded agreement sent to you within 48 - 72 business hours. Once the agreement has been signed, you will then receive your funded account the upcoming Sunday.
If you have any issues with your KYC/AML screening, please contact our live support and we will assist you in potentially getting you verified if possible. Note that if you are unable to pass the screening, you will not be able to receive the funded account details and will receive a refund to your challenge.
Why do we require kyc?
KYC is a simpler way to tell us who you are as a client. This is a standard procedure that most regulated brokerages require. To fulfil KYC verification, we require a legal government-issued ID such as a driver's license or a passport (Permanent Resident Status is allowed). Please note that the KYC verification process can take up to 3 days (depending on your country of residence).
What documents do I submit to prove my address/proof of residence?
Before receiving a real account, you would need to provide us with the following documents so that we can verify your identity:
1. Photo of your National ID/ Birth-Certificate/ Passport/ Driving License.
2. Photo of your recent Utility Bill/ Phone Bill/ Tax Documents/Bank Statement.
Note that you do not need any verification for the demo/assessment phases.
Can i use a "VPN"
In accordance with our FutureFunded Terms and Conditions, all traders associated with our challenge and funded programs must be the sole traders of their accounts.
Due to this, we discourage accessing any trading account via VPN or VPS in order to track the data through our internal systems properly.
Please note this is common practice for any service that does not allow multiple users on a single account.
To be clear, this does not mean that you are not allowed to use a VPN or VPS. It just means that if you do, if any potentially malicious activity is found on your account the use of a VPN or VPS will be a highly determining factor of whether you are considered to have violated our terms & conditions.
That being said, if you are using a VPN or VPS, please ensure that your are not violating anything in our Terms and Conditions including but not limited to having multiple users trading on your account and using any type of EA's on our FutureFunded accounts or automated trading systems.
Please also note that connecting to Virtual Private Networks ("VPN") and Virtual Private Servers ("VPS") when completing the KYC/AML verification process is prohibited.
If you are connected to a VPS or VPN when completing the KYC process, your account may not become funded and/or your funded account may be disabled and/or breached if you are discovered to have completed the KYC/AML process using a VPS or VPN.
