BrightFunded Christmas Deal: 30% OFF All Challenges

Extremely disappointing experience, unpaid payout and lack of transparency
I kindly ask Bright Funded to contact me, as I have tried to reach them through different channels, but nobody is responding. Emails go unanswered, and support on their website has not helped me and just close the chat
I requested a payout, and Bright Funded asked me to complete the risk interview before processing it. I completed the interview on October 23, and the Risk Department confirmed that I had approved and also they said that the payment would be processed within 3 days.
However, more than a week has passed, and I still have not received my money or any clear update. After contacting support, I was told to contact the Risk Department. Since then, I have heard nothing from anyone, and my payout is still unpaid.
Another concern is that my account was completely removed from the Bright Funded website. I do not understand why this happened. When I asked about it, I was told that this was normal and that it was supposed to happen. However, I have not received a clear explanation of why my account was removed, especially since my payout is still unpaid.
What makes this even more disappointing is that Bright Funded states on its website that payouts are processed within 24 hours. In my case, I completed the required interview, the Risk Department confirmed that everything was fine, and I was told to expect payment within 3 days. Yet I am still waiting, with no explanation and no response.
Another major concern is the daily risk limit on my two funded accounts. When I received both accounts, the daily risk limit was set to just 1% on each account, even though I had not changed my trading strategy.
I understand that payout checks may take time, but I expect clear communication and fair treatment, especially after passing the required interview and receiving confirmation from the Risk Department that everything was okay. The biggest problem is not only the delayed payment but also the complete lack of communication.
Based on my experience, I would advise other traders to be careful and consider these issues before choosing Bright Funded. I hope the company will finally contact me, explain why my account was removed, and pay my outstanding payout.

BrightFunded officially approved my payout request for USD 1,439.56 (Account ID: 1007678) requested on October 8th and even issued me an official Payout Certificate.
​They encourage traders to share these payout certificates in their community and social channels to prove payouts are happening, creating a false impression of fast processing. However, the reality is completely different: I received the certificate, but never received the actual money in my bank account.
​Here is how they have delayed the payment for nearly a month:
​The initial 5–10 business days processing time passed without any funds arriving.
​On Oct 22, support asked if the payment arrived. I confirmed it had not and requested the SWIFT MT103 / UTR reference number so my bank could trace it.
​They repeatedly gave false deadlines: promised 1–2 business days, then Prajjul promised the SWIFT proof or release within 2–3 business days. Every deadline expired with zero proof.
​Over the last few days, support simply closed my inquiries as "duplicate tickets" or gave looped responses saying they "cannot confirm an exact time" for a response.
​Issuing certificates for publicity while failing to provide basic bank wire proof (SWIFT MT103) is completely deceptive. I have full email and chat transcripts proving this delay.
​BrightFunded management must release my approved payout immediately.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – BrightFunded Denied My Funded Account After Passing Both Phases
My experience with BrightFunded has been absolutely terrible. I would strongly advise traders to think twice before investing their money with this company.
I successfully completed both the Challenge and Verification phases (Account: 316970336 and Account: 327768821 repectively) meeting the required trading objectives. However, instead of receiving the funded account I had worked hard to earn, BrightFunded suddenly rejected me after conducting a so-called security check, claiming that my trading activities posed excessive risk to their capital.
What makes this situation even worse is their complete lack of transparency. I contacted their team and requested specific evidence of what I supposedly did wrong. Instead of providing actual trade examples or explaining exactly which rules I violated, they provided none.
Their Risk Department refused to provide any specific trades, calculations or evidence to support their accusations.
In other words, they accused me of excessive risk but refused to show me exactly what I did wrong.
Even more frustrating, they explicitly stated that their decision was final and that no further explanation or request for evidence would reopen the matter.
Imagine successfully passing both evaluation phases, putting in the time and effort, only to have your funded account denied without any evidence of wrongdoing.
I find their approach extremely unfair, unprofessional and disappointing.
I genuinely regret choosing BrightFunded. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences I have had with a prop firm.
A refund does not erase the disappointing experience, frustration, wasted time and money - since there were 4 other accounts that I breached previously some in phase 1 and others in phase 2-which if I knew this was how it will be ending I would have not started it. I believe traders deserve fair treatment, not decisions that cannot be properly challenged or explained.
The phrase ' a refund does not erase disappointmen' does not mean I received a refund and you know it for sure that I didn't receive it.
Traders be aware of this prop firm, Traders deserve better.

Before purchasing an account from BrightFunded, I carefully read the reviews about this prop firm. I noticed that for every positive review, there were approximately three negative ones. Unfortunately, I did not take those warnings seriously.
I purchased a $100K account and successfully passed both challenge stages. After my account went into review, I waited a full week before receiving an email informing me that my daily risk limit had been reduced to 1%.
I contacted their support team, but they told me that the matter was not their responsibility and that I should reply directly to the email I had received. I asked a simple question: If you were going to reduce my risk limit to 1%, why do your published rules advertise a 5% daily loss limit? I never received a satisfactory answer.
Despite this, I continued trading. On one trading day, I had three trades: the first resulted in a $530 loss, the second in a $258 loss, and the third had a $100 stop loss. When approximately $30 remained before my stop loss was reached, my account was breached.
When I asked for an explanation, I was told that the breach was caused by a $270 swap charge allegedly applied on Wednesday morning, even though my trades were on Thursday. I contacted support again, but I could not get a clear or convincing explanation.
Eventually, I had no choice but to write a negative review about my experience. Instead of addressing my concerns, they initially accused me of collaborating with a trading group. What a disappointing way to treat a customer who has successfully passed a $100K challenge!
It is truly concerning when a company responds to customer complaints with accusations rather than clear explanations and transparent evidence.
I have rewritten my review because I believe other traders deserve to know about my experience. Before purchasing an account from BrightFunded, please take the time to read the negative reviews and judge for yourselves.
Is this really a trustworthy prop firm? Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend it. Save your time, money, and effort.

I passed the $1k 1-step challenge and completed KYC, but my funded account is completely broken. On MT5, charts show distorted, glitchy candlesticks (BTC/USD), and active trades repeatedly fail to close when tapping "Close sell". The evaluation account worked fine, but the funded server is unplayable and risks trader capital. I have screen recordings of these glitches. Very disappointing experience.
edit:- now it's working fine let's see if i get a payout. i will update
