Onboarding & KYC/KYB Delays with Newer Brokerages

Anyone else noticing a significant increase in the time taken for account approval and KYC/KYB with some of the more recently established or smaller-tier brokers, especially those catering to a broader range of assets beyond just FX? I'm not talking about the Tier 1 outfits, but more the ones that are trying to gain traction with CFD offerings that include a wider selection of crypto pairs or less liquid equities. It feels like the compliance teams are either understaffed, overwhelmed, or their backend systems simply aren't as robust as they should be. I've had applications stall for weeks, requiring multiple re-submissions of documents that would normally clear in a day or two with a more established name. This directly impacts the ability to capitalize on immediate market movements and raises questions about their operational efficiency more broadly. Is this just growing pains for these types of firms, or a red flag regarding their overall internal processes and potential future payout reliability given the administrative overhead they seem to be struggling with upfront?
