Lark Funding

Summary

I registered on June 2, 2025. As of March 2026, I have only received about 1,200 USD in payouts, but I currently have 150k in active funded accounts, and just recently another 150k was approved — bringing my total funded capital to 300k. I expect the payout amount to accelerate significantly this year.

Their support is among the very best. The CEO personally resolves issues on Discord and stands by traders — not just with words, but with actions. If you find that hard to believe, go check their Discord for yourself.

They also run the business in a very bold and trader-friendly way: they removed the Step 2 challenge, they pay monthly salaries even while accounts are in drawdown, and they offer multiple free retries. This is one of the companies I am watching most closely right now.

Timeline

June 2, 2025

I registered on this day and sent a few questions to support. I received a reply in about an hour and a half. Every question was answered clearly and thoroughly, which left a very positive impression. It is actually quite common for one question to be overlooked when you ask several at once, so the fact that they responded this quickly with this level of detail was proof of their support quality.

They were running an attractive promotion at the time — purchasing a 100k challenge came with two free 50k challenges. I bought two 100k challenges, and the free accounts were automatically granted on June 5.

June 30, 2025

I passed a challenge for the first time.

With this account, I received about 300 USD in profit (0.6% of the account balance) before being disqualified due to the maximum drawdown.

November 2025

A “Black Friday Bundle” was released, priced at 3,500 USD. It included three 100k Step 1 challenges (worth about 2,400 USD), 3,000 USD in credit for future challenge purchases, and several other perks.

Honestly, I found it very expensive — even considering the high value of what was included.

So I reached out several times, and they were flexible in working with me.

First, instead of a single lump-sum payment, they customized a split payment for me. I paid 3,000 USD upfront by credit card, and the remaining 500 USD was deducted from the profit in an account I already held.

Second, the bundle included three months of TradingView Premium charts, which I did not need. When I let them know, they gave me 150 USD in credit instead.

Third, the credits were originally usable only for Step 3, but I had already determined that Step 3 did not suit my trading style. I asked if I could use them for Step 1 purchases instead, and they adjusted it so I could use them for Step 1 accounts of 50k or less.

This was a promotion available at the time and is no longer offered. I am also not encouraging anyone to make unreasonable demands. This was simply a case of both sides finding common ground to make things work.

Going Forward

My experience with Lark Funding has been very positive so far, but I have not yet received large payouts from them. I currently hold a total of 300k in funded accounts — some already active and some recently approved. These accounts include a feature that allows you to receive a portion of your profits even while in drawdown, provided certain conditions are met. I will continue to document in real time whether regular payouts and these bonus payments are processed without issues, how long approvals take, and anything else that comes up.
