    How a member is verified

    Business, people, documents, sanctions and site checks before anyone trades.

    T57's verification process solves the problem of fake, misrepresented and unknown counterparties, by checking every member's identity, ownership, licenses and role before they can trade.

    The problem

    On open marketplaces, anyone can list a product.

    A reseller can pose as a farm, a shell company can pose as an exporter, and a sanctioned party can hide behind a new name. Checking a new partner yourself takes weeks of calls, documents and site visits that most businesses cannot afford. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Misrepresented roles

    Buyers cannot tell a producer from a middleman.

    Fake or unlicensed businesses

    Forged documents and expired licenses are hard to spot.

    Hidden risk

    Sanctioned or high-risk parties are difficult to screen without specialist tools.

    How verification works

    Apply → KYC and KYB → Physical verification → Role label and Passport

    1. 01

      Apply

      The business submits company documents, owners, licenses, bank details and the role it claims.

    2. 02

      KYC and KYB

      T57 checks owners and directors, company registration, beneficial ownership, sanctions and watchlists, and document authenticity. AI triages each file, and an analyst reviews it.

    3. 03

      Physical verification

      T57's country team visits farms, factories and warehouses, and checks proof of ownership, such as a land title, lease or production license, for anyone who claims to produce.

    4. 04

      Role label and Passport

      The member is labeled owner-producer, processor, trader or intermediary, and receives a verified T57 Passport.

    Verification does not stop there. Expiry reminders, periodic re-verification and continuous screening keep every Passport current.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    A Jeddah buyer confirms a Turkish hazelnut grower owns its orchards

    A Saudi distributor wants to buy hazelnuts direct from the source. On T57, it filters for owner-producers in Türkiye and finds a grower whose Passport shows a site visit by T57's Türkiye team and a verified land title. The distributor buys direct, knowing it is not paying a middleman's margin.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    How long does verification take?

    It depends on the business and whether a site visit is needed. T57 tells you what is outstanding at each stage.

    Why does T57 visit my farm or factory?

    To confirm that businesses claiming to produce really do. This is what lets buyers trust the owner-producer label.

    Do I need to verify again for each trade?

    No. Your T57 Passport is reusable. It is renewed periodically, and you update it when your details change.

    What if my application is declined?

    You receive a stated reason and can ask for a review by a person.
