At Xpert Funding, completing your KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a mandatory step before activating your Funded (Simulated) Account or receiving any payouts.

This verification ensures compliance with financial regulations, protects your identity, and prevents unauthorized account access keeping every trader’s experience fair and secure.


When to Complete KYC

You’ll be required to complete KYC after successfully passing your evaluation and before your Funded (Simulated) Account is activated.

Once your performance review is approved, you’ll receive an email notification from Xpert Funding, followed by a banner inside your dashboard prompting you to verify your identity. Completing KYC is quick and straightforward typically taking just a few minutes.


How to Complete Your KYC Verification

  1. Log in to your Xpert Funding Dashboard

  2. Navigate to Settings → Verify Identity

  3. Click Start Verification

  4. Follow the guided steps to upload your documents

You’ll be asked to provide three types of verification:

Proof of Identity

Upload a valid, government-issued document such as:

  • Passport

  • Driver’s License

  • National ID Card

  • Residence Permit

Selfie Verification

Take a live photo of yourself that clearly matches your ID document.
This helps confirm that you are the rightful account holder.

Proof of Address. Submit one of the following documents issued within the last 3 months:

  • Utility bill (electricity, gas, or landline)

  • Bank statement

  • Government-issued residence certificate

  • Official ID containing your current address

Tip: Make sure all details are clearly visible and match your Funding account information to avoid delays.



Account Security and Identity Policy

Each trader is allowed one verified identity per account.
Once your KYC is approved, the same verified identity cannot be used to create or verify another Xpert Funding account.
This measure prevents duplicate accounts and ensures fairness across all trading evaluations.



KYC for Payouts

Before your first payout is processed, your KYC verification must be successfully completed.
This applies to all account types, including:

  • 1-Step Challenge

  • 2-Step Challenge

  • Swing Challenge

  • Instant Funding Accounts

If your payout is handled through a payment partner (e.g., Rise or a similar platform), you may be asked to complete an additional verification directly on their system for compliance reasons.



How Long Does KYC Take?

Most KYC verifications are approved within minutes, but in rare cases, manual review may take up to 24 business hours depending on document clarity or country of issuance.

Once approved, your Funded (Simulated) Account or payout request will proceed automatically.
