JustMarkets KYC Verification β Documents Required, Steps & Verification Time β Complete Guide 2026
JustMarkets requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification before withdrawals can be processed. You can deposit and trade while verification is pending. This guide covers exactly which documents are accepted, how to submit them, what to do if documents are rejected, and the typical verification timeline.
What Is KYC and Why Does JustMarkets Require It?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a regulatory requirement applied to all regulated financial services providers globally. It requires brokers to verify the identity of clients before allowing financial transactions β specifically, withdrawals. KYC serves two purposes: it prevents money laundering by ensuring funds flow to verified account owners, and it confirms the trader is not from a restricted jurisdiction.
JustMarkets allows account registration, deposit, and live trading before KYC is complete. However, withdrawals are blocked until identity and address verification are approved. This means you can open an account, deposit funds, and begin trading immediately β but you will not be able to withdraw profits until your documents are verified.
