    How a member is verified

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

    T57's Know Your Business (KYB) checks confirm that every member company is real, properly registered, licensed and owned by the people it names.

    The problem

    A company name and a website prove very little.

    Shell companies, borrowed licenses and hidden owners are common routes to fraud and sanctions breaches in cross-border trade. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Shell and fake companies

    Businesses that exist only on paper.

    Hidden ownership

    Owners who are not disclosed, or who are sanctioned.

    Expired licenses

    Export, food-safety or trading licenses that have lapsed.
