Payment Method Ownership & Verification Policy

Only payment methods you own may be used on your account. Learn what we verify and what we may request.

Written by Lars

At Top One Trader, maintaining a secure and fair trading environment is a top priority. As part of this commitment, we enforce strict policies regarding the use of payment methods on all accounts.

In short: All payments on your account must be made with payment methods you own and control. Third party cards, including those of friends or family members, are strictly prohibited.

Use of payment methods

All payments made on your account must be completed using payment methods that are fully owned and controlled by you, the account holder. The use of third party payment methods, including credit or debit cards belonging to friends, family members, or any other individual, is strictly prohibited.

Why this policy exists

This policy is in place to prevent fraudulent activity, including unauthorized transactions and chargebacks. It ensures that all account activity remains secure, transparent, and compliant with financial regulations.

Verification process

As part of our standard payout review process, we may conduct additional checks on your account. If our risk assessment identifies:

  • The use of multiple cards or payment methods

  • Cards issued from different countries

  • Any inconsistencies in payment behavior

  • Or other indicators of suspicious activity

We reserve the right to request further verification before processing a payout.

What we may request

In such cases, you may be asked to provide proof of ownership for the payment methods used on your account. This can include:

Document

Details

Photo of the payment card

With sensitive details masked

Bank statement

Showing the relevant transactions

Additional documentation

Confirming ownership of the payment method

All information is handled securely and in accordance with our privacy policies.

Important note

Failure to provide the requested documentation, or evidence that payment methods were not owned by the account holder, may result in:

  • Delays or rejection of payout requests

  • Account restrictions

  • Account termination in severe cases

Final reminder

To avoid any issues, always ensure that only your own payment methods are used when purchasing or funding accounts. If you have any questions about this policy, our support team is available to assist you.
