We collected 1,200 real payouts from PropMarketCap user reviews for the period January–April 2026. We calculated: time from request to receipt, payout method, amount, and presence of delays.
Leaders and laggards in hours
Speed leaders: FundedNext (median 22 hours), FTMO (28 hours), The5ers (38 hours). All three support USDT and automatic approval when there are no rule violations.
Comparison on one screen
Hours until crediting — median for the Q1 2026 sample.
Every week we re-parse the payout stream and update the median for firms. Before buying a challenge, check the current table — some firms' timelines shifted significantly in April.
What to pay attention to
“Additional checks” as a way to stall
14% of payouts at one major firm arrive with a delay of more than a week under this pretext. The figure has grown from 6% over six months.
KYC surprise before the first payout
Many firms require extended KYC only before the first payout. Prepare your documents in advance, otherwise +5–7 days.
What to do next
If you plan to make a living from prop trading, choose a firm with a median of up to 48 hours and USDT payouts. One or two episodes of waiting a week hit hard on both your psyche and cash flow.
