Negative Reviews Online
In one review, a user complains that Phase 1 was unfairly rejected. The author believes that the company deliberately looks for reasons to deny funding, labeling a managed trade as gambling. They claim the rules are non-transparent and advise not to waste money.
In another review, the author criticizes slow and inefficient service: after successfully completing a $10,000 challenge, the user never received access to the account. Support only gave excuses, which led the author to request a refund and warn others about the company’s unreliability.
Opinion of the Mystery Shopper
Lark Funding is a prop firm with a fairly low entry threshold, a wide range of accounts, flexible challenges (One-Step, Two-Step, Three-Step, Instant Funding), and competitive trading conditions. However, the company has only been operating in the industry for three years, so it is too early to speak about its reputation. Moreover, there are enough critical remarks addressed to it. Traders write online about hidden conditions and withdrawal restrictions.
Is the company suitable to be recommended for cooperation?
Lark Funding can be recommended, but with caution. Due to critical reviews about hidden conditions, I would advise carefully studying all terms and closely monitoring changes in the rules before starting cooperation.
Proofs:
Gave Lark Funding a shot with their one-phase model. The dashboard was basic but usable, and spreads seemed fine during normal hours. I liked that they allow weekend holding and news trading, which is a plus. But I hit a snag with their trailing drawdown — it triggered after a small pullback even though I was still net positive. Kinda frustrating. Reached out to support, and while they did reply, it felt a bit copy-paste and not super helpful. Rules are definitely tighter than they seem.
