FTX starts repaying creditors under $50K, notifying them via email. Some face KYC issues, and funds are distributed through selected service providers.
FTX has started the repayment process for creditors with claims of less than $50,000. Sunil, who represents FTX creditors, mentions that the company delivered emails to alert these creditors about the initial fund distribution process. The first distribution of funds is currently processing through distribution service providers.
Sunil posted on media platform X that out of the existing $345 million of small claims valued below $50,000 KYC verification has not been satisfied. Before money transfers occur, the creditors must follow identity verification procedures.
Payment procedures at FTX appear in complete detail for all participants. The process requires creditors to join either BitGo or Kraken to function as their distribution service provider. After finishing this requirement creditors lose their right to independent payment transfers from FTX. The distribution service provider maintains ownership over payments for processing before delivering them to creditors. The necessary funds to execute the distribution already have been transferred by FTX to the selected distribution service providers.

Several creditors have disagreements with the FTX claims portal about their claim procedures. Several creditors need to receive email statements about payment confirmation. Sunil raised doubts about the KYC compliance and email delivery status for every creditor accessing FTX services.

In addition, Bahamian creditors part of the “Convenience Class” will get annual interest payments at 9% derived from their claims assessed on November 11, 2022.
