When you pay for any purchase in the BrightFunded ecosystem with a card, such as a credit card, an international card or a card used with the Revolut checkout option, the card must be in your own name. The cardholder name must match the name on the BrightFunded profile you are buying with. Payments made with crypto are not card payments, so this rule does not cover them.
The rule
👉 Every purchase paid by card in the BrightFunded ecosystem, including challenges, addons, resets and any other purchase, must be made with a card in the name of the person who owns the BrightFunded profile. This includes credit cards, international cards and cards used with the Revolut checkout option. The name on the card must be the profile holder's name.
With the Revolut checkout option you can use another card. It does not have to be a Revolut card. The cardholder name must still match your profile name.
Why we ask for it
The rule keeps every account tied to one real person and keeps your account secure. It follows the same logic as the rest of the Futures flow:
One profile per person. Each trader has a single BrightFunded profile.
KYC with Sumsub. Identity verification is required before your SIM Funded Account is released, and it is done by the same person who owns the profile.
Account ownership. The person who pays, the person who owns the profile and the person who passes KYC are the same person.
What matches and what does not
Situation | Does it match? |
The name on the card is the same as the name on your profile | Yes |
You use the Revolut checkout option with a card that is not a Revolut card, in your own name | Yes. It does not have to be a Revolut card, as long as the name on the card is the profile holder's |
The card is in the name of a relative or a friend | No. The name on the card must be the profile holder's |
The card is in the name of your employer | No. The name on the card must be the profile holder's |
The card is a company card | Only if the name on the card is the profile holder's |
The payment is made with crypto | Not a card payment, so this rule does not apply |
Example
Profile name: Maria Lopez.
✅ Card in the name of Maria Lopez: this is fine.
⚠️ Card in the name of another person: this does not match your profile.
