UZO is a simulated (Syn-Fi) prop firm. You trade real live prices on simulated capital, so there is no live money at risk during your evaluation. That structure lets us put verification exactly where it belongs: at the moment money actually changes hands in your favor, not before.

At checkout you provide what any merchant needs to process a payment: an email and your billing details. That is it. You are not asked to upload a passport, a driver's license, or a proof of address to purchase or to begin your challenge.

Once payment clears, your credentials are issued and you can log in to your platform of choice (MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, or MatchTrader) and place your first trade right away. For most buyers the path from purchase to first order is a matter of minutes.

Verification enters the picture at one point only: after you pass your evaluation, before your first payout is released. We run it through Veriff, a dedicated identity-verification provider, and it is a one-time step for your account.

Two reasons, both in your favor. First, privacy. There is no need to hand over identity documents to test whether the platform fits you, so the people who never reach a payout never share anything sensitive. Second, accuracy. We pay the verified account holder, so the name on the payout has to match the name we verify. Checking it at payout time means the details are current and the funds reach the right person.

We are also honest that most evaluations do not pass. Asking everyone to complete KYC up front would create friction for the majority who are simply trying the product. Putting it at the payout moment keeps the start light and reserves the formal step for traders who have earned a reward.

Nothing is needed to buy or trade. When you do reach payout, Veriff will guide you through a quick check, so it helps to have a standard government-issued photo ID on hand and to use the same name you want on your payout.
