KYC & AML Policy

E Funded provides simulated trading evaluation services and related funding programs only. E Funded does not provide brokerage services, investment advice, portfolio management, or regulated financial services.
Purpose of This Policy
The purpose of this policy is to protect the platform and its users by identifying and reducing risk, preventing abuse, and supporting internal compliance procedures.

KYC Verification Provider
E Funded currently performs KYC verification through its internal compliance and manual review system. The company does not currently use a third-party KYC control provider.
This section is intentionally written to reflect an internal verification model rather than a third-party provider model.
When Full Verification Is Required

- Before approving a profile change.
- Before investigating suspicious activity.
- Before processing enhanced due diligence cases.
How Verification Is Performed
Verification is completed manually using a combination of document review, identity checks, fraud controls, and internal risk assessment procedures.
Identity Document Review
Government-issued passport, national ID card, or driver’s license may be requested and reviewed for authenticity, consistency, and completeness.
Selfie & Liveness Review
A selfie or live photo may be requested to compare the trader’s face with the submitted identity document and reduce impersonation risk.
Proof of Address
Utility bill, bank statement, or other address evidence may be requested when additional verification is required.
Manual Compliance Review
Authorized staff review submitted information manually and may request additional documentation whenever necessary.
