Why Does FundedSeat Require KYC?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is used to verify that the person trading the account is the same person who owns the account.
This helps us:
Protect trader accounts from unauthorized access
Prevent fraud and account sharing
Verify payout recipients
Maintain the integrity of the FundedSeat platform
How Does Verification Work?
FundedSeat uses Sumsub to securely handle identity verification.
When verification is required, you'll receive access to the verification process directly through your dashboard.
The process typically requires:
A valid government-issued photo ID
A selfie verification
Any additional information requested by Sumsub
Most verifications can be completed in just a few minutes.
Important: Verification Is Handled Through Sumsub
All identity verification is processed directly through Sumsub.
FundedSeat does not manually approve, reject, or override KYC submissions.
This means:
Support cannot manually verify your account
Managers cannot manually approve documents
Documents cannot be reviewed through email, Discord, or live chat
All requested documents must be submitted through the Sumsub verification portal
If additional information is required, Sumsub will notify you during the verification process.
Accepted Documents
The most commonly accepted forms of identification include:
Passport
Driver's License
National ID Card
Residence Permit
Your document must be valid, unexpired, and clearly visible.
Common Reasons for Verification Delays
Verification issues are often caused by:
Blurry photos
Expired identification
Information that does not match the FundedSeat account
Poor lighting during selfie verification
VPN or location-masking software
To avoid delays, make sure all information is accurate before submitting your verification.

The Bottom Line
KYC is a quick, one-time verification process that helps keep FundedSeat secure for all traders.
To avoid delays with funded accounts, agreements, or payouts, we recommend completing your verification as soon as it becomes available.
