Payout proof

  • Also called
  • payout certificate
  • payout wall
  • proof of payouts

What it means

In a prop firm, payout proof is often the most persuasive trust content on the website. Common forms are payout certificates generated from the back office, shared transaction receipts, payout totals by period, and third-party verification from a comparison site or auditor.

Payout proof is also where marketing runs into compliance. A wall of the largest payouts implies typical results that most traders will not get. Individual payouts should be labelled as examples, not typical, and published only with the trader's consent.

Totals stated by the firm are claims, not facts, unless verified. Saying who verified the figure, and for what period, is what makes it credible.
