Trader Says $5,198.40 in Tradeify Payouts Declined After KYC
On September 6, @TrustedPropHub posted on X that a trader had two Tradeify funded-account payouts totaling $5,198.40 declined, and account access removed, after completing KYC through Rise and receiving an email confirmation for the first payout.
The post describes a sequence rather than a receipt. According to @TrustedPropHub, the trader received an email confirming the first payout, completed identity verification through Rise, and was told there was nothing further to do. The two payouts, together worth $5,198.40, were subsequently declined, and Tradeify access was revoked citing alleged suspicious activity. No specific rule was cited to the trader, per the post.
The proof shared here documents a complaint, not a settled payout. The post does not disclose the account size, the instruments traded, the strategy used, or the funded plan involved, and TraderPayout has not seen the underlying account statements or the internal review Tradeify may have conducted. What is on record is the public request from @TrustedPropHub asking Tradeify and @BrettSimba to review the case and explain the decision.
“A trader claims his two funded-account payouts, totaling $5,198.40, were declined after he had already received an email confirming his first payout and completed the required KYC through Rise.”— @TrustedPropHub on X, September 6
For context, Tradeify was founded in June 2024 in Boca Raton and offers funded accounts on US futures with a 90/10 profit split, with traders keeping 100% of the first $15,000 on Growth and Lightning plans before the split kicks in. The firm reports more than $200 million paid out to date, a figure that is firm-stated rather than independently verified. Payouts are processed through Rise, the same rail referenced in the trader's complaint.
Denied payouts tied to unspecified suspicious activity flags are a recurring friction point across the prop industry, and they are the reason traders press for written, rule-specific explanations. On the evidence available, the case remains unresolved in public. If Tradeify responds with the rule cited or reverses the decision, this proof will be updated to reflect the outcome.
