When do I need to complete KYC ?
When do I need to complete KYC ?
You will need to complete KYC at different stages:
Before receiving an account: Standard KYC (Government ID) is required before we can issue any giveaway or Reward-eligible account.
As your rewards grow: Enhanced KYC (TIN and Proof of Address) may be required when your accumulated Performance Rewards reach specific financial thresholds.
Ongoing compliance: KYC is a continuous process. We may periodically request updated documentation at our discretion, even if you haven't hit specific triggers.
You don't have to guess-our team will proactively reach out to you directly via email or dashboard notification with clear instructions whenever verification is required.
Do I need to sign any agreements?
Do I need to sign any agreements?
Yes. When advancing to a Reward-eligible account, you will need to sign the TRADERSYARD Master Agreement. This document will be provided to you for signature when required.
Can I use a VPN or Proxy during KYC verification?
Can I use a VPN or Proxy during KYC verification?
No. KYC verification must be completed without using a VPN, Proxy, or any location-masking service. If one is detected, your verification session may be blocked or flagged.
Before starting KYC, please ensure that:
Any active VPN, Proxy, or browser extension that masks your location is disabled.
If you are using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, turn off iCloud Private Relay:
Settings → [Your Name / Apple ID] → iCloud → Private Relay → Turn Off
If you are unsure whether your Wi-Fi network is using a VPN or proxy, switch to Mobile/Cellular Data and start the KYC process again.
Following these steps before opening the KYC link will help prevent verification issues.

What happens if I fail my KYC?
