VERIFIED FIRMSThe Verified Firm Programme
Recognising prop firms that publish clear rules and support their traders.
The Verified Firm badge shows that a firm has published clear payout rules and gives its traders a way to ask questions and appeal. It is voluntary, free to apply for, and cannot be bought.
How a Firm Earns the Badge
Four steps, free of charge.
The firm contacts us with its name, website and how long it has been operating.
It sends us its published payout rules and how traders can ask questions or appeal.
We check the firm against our published standard. Reviews typically take 5–10 business days.
Once approved, the firm can display “Verified by Proteqta” and appears on our list.
What We Check
The standard every Verified Firm meets.
A real track record to review.
We know where the firm is incorporated and who runs it.
Rules traders can check against, with changes announced in advance.
Traders can ask questions and request a review of a decision.
Meeting these is what gets a firm into the review. The standard may be refined over time, and we will publish any change.
What the Badge Means — and Doesn’t
The firm met our published standard when it was reviewed.
Payout rules are published and changes are announced.
Traders can raise questions and appeals with the firm.
We do not guarantee a firm or its payouts.
Each payout is decided by the firm under its own rules.
Verified status is separate from partnering, and separate from the Payout Backstop.
For Traders
How to read the badge.
It tells you the firm has published clear rules and a way to ask questions.
A firm may simply not have applied yet. Always read a firm’s rules before you start a challenge.
You can add a Payout Backstop at any supported firm, verified or not.
Keeping the Badge
Fair and predictable for firms and traders.
Each Verified Firm is reviewed again at least once a year.
If a firm no longer meets the standard, we tell it what has changed and give it time to respond.
Verified Firms List
Launching soon.
We are preparing to welcome the first firms. Each one will be listed here once verified, and nothing is published about a firm that has not applied.
