Funded Trading Plus Faces Fresh Payout Dispute Over Changing Verification Requirements
Funded Trading Plus has come under renewed scrutiny after Trusted Prop Hub highlighted a trader’s complaint alleging that the firm’s payout requirements changed multiple times, even after the trader had successfully completed verification and received an initial payout.
The case has sparked discussion within the proprietary trading community, with traders calling for greater transparency and consistency in how payout reviews are handled.
Trader Claims Payout Requirements Kept Changing
According to Trusted Prop Hub, the trader successfully completed two $250,000 evaluation challenges, passed the firm’s Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, and received an initial payout totaling $9,443.
However, the trader alleges that the process became more complicated when requesting a second payout.
The first issue reportedly arose when the firm requested a newly issued passport despite the trader already having completed KYC verification. According to the complaint, the trader explained that a medical condition prevented fingerprint verification and offered alternative government-issued identification documents instead. Those alternatives were allegedly rejected.
Trusted Prop Hub claims that after the trader eventually obtained a passport, the explanation for withholding the payout changed again. This time, the issue reportedly centered on the acquisition of the passport rather than the original verification concerns.
Questions Raised Over Consistency
Trusted Prop Hub questioned why the requirements appeared to change after the trader had already satisfied previous verification steps and received an earlier payout.
The platform argued that traders deserve clear communication regarding verification requirements and called on Funded Trading Plus representative Lewis McCallum to provide clarification and work toward a fair resolution.
Growing Focus on Payout Transparency
The incident adds to an ongoing industry-wide conversation about payout procedures at proprietary trading firms.
While prop firms often conduct enhanced compliance checks before processing withdrawals to combat fraud, identity theft, and account misuse, traders continue to advocate for transparent policies and consistent enforcement. Many argue that once verification requirements have been communicated and fulfilled, any additional requests should be clearly justified.
At the time of writing, Funded Trading Plus has not publicly responded to the specific allegations shared by Trusted Prop Hub.
As the discussion continues, the case highlights the importance of balancing robust compliance procedures with clear communication and fair treatment of traders throughout the payout process.
