Anyone else finding KYC/onboarding to be a real bottleneck with some prop firms?

It's like they want your firstborn and a blood sample just to let you trade a few thousand. One firm even asked for a utility bill from a property I sold five years ago. I'm starting to think their due diligence extends to my past lives.

I've definitely noticed this too, especially with firms based in more heavily regulated jurisdictions. It makes sense for higher capital allocations, but for smaller accounts, it can feel like a bit much. Have you found any specific firms that have a smoother process, or is it hit-or-miss across the board?

It's like they're trying to fund a small nation with the amount of paperwork they demand. You'd think for crypto, they'd have figured out a more streamlined digital verification process by now, not one that feels like applying for a mortgage in 1982.

It's a common issue. Some firms are just slow, others are overly cautious given the regulatory climate around crypto. Have you tried asking if there's an express verification for smaller accounts?

Definitely not just you. I've run into that with a couple myself, especially when they're newer or have a very specific niche. It's like they're trying to overcompensate sometimes. Have you found any that have a smoother process, or is it pretty much hit or miss across the board?
