Second payout, still happy

From the first click, the process felt organized and professional. I was walked through the verification steps so smoothly that it felt almost too easy.

Onboarding was a mess

One agent said payouts take a day, another said 21 days, and neither matched what I saw. I got a generic template reply every time I asked a simple setup question.

If you're disciplined, the funded stage is manageable; if not, the limits will find you. Support is okay, not great, not awful, and that sums up my experience.
