Cyber Funded applies identity verification (KYC) at different points of the trading journey, depending on the challenge model you choose.
For evaluation-based challenges, KYC is triggered after the evaluation is successfully completed, before access to the Live trading environment is granted. Once the account reaches this stage, it will be placed in KYC Pending status. Traders must complete the verification process in order to move forward. A dedicated verification link will be sent via email, and the process will be supervised by our compliance team.
For Instant Funding challenges, traders can start trading without completing KYC at the time of account activation. Identity verification is required only when the first payout request is submitted. At that moment, the account will transition to KYC Pending, and payout processing will resume once verification has been approved. As with other challenge types, the verification link will be provided by email and handled under internal compliance controls. To ensure full adherence to regulatory, anti-fraud, and AML obligations, Cyber Funded may request additional documentation where necessary.
