What is KYC, and why do I need to verify my identity?

Why P1 requires identity verification, and when you'll be asked for it.

Note: KYC isn't something you set up in advance. Our team requests it once you submit your first payout request, so there's nothing to do before then.

KYC (“Know Your Customer”) is the identity verification process required before your first payout. It confirms that the person receiving a payout is who they say they are.


Why P1 requires it

  • It's a standard requirement under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, not something specific to P1.

  • It protects you. Verifying identity prevents someone else from claiming a payout on an account that isn't theirs.

  • It protects the integrity of the challenge model. One verified identity per trader keeps evaluations and payouts fair for everyone.

When you'll need it

KYC isn't something you need to set up in advance. Once you submit your first payout request, our team reviews it and will reach out to you directly to request your verification documents. You don't need to find or start KYC yourself.
