Counterparty Verification · Cross-Border Deals

Verify before you settle.

Vanguard Verify is the desk's due-diligence platform for cross-border transactions — commodity trade, real estate, automotive, business acquisition, freelance engagements and investment. Bank-call verification, on-the-ground site inspections and deep-DD dossiers, wrapped in an evidence vault the counterparty never sees.

§ 01What Verify does

Four layers between you and a bad counterparty.

Layer 01

Bank Call

Voice verification with the issuing bank's Trade Finance officer against the counterparty's signed Authority to Verify. Reference letter, account status, instrument capability — confirmed directly, not from a scanned PDF.

Layer 02

Site Inspection

Local verifier attends the counterparty's stated address — plant, warehouse, refinery, office — with a mandated photo protocol and a written report on operating status, staffing, signage and infrastructure.

Layer 03

Deep DD Dossier

47-source cross-reference against sanctions lists, corporate registries, litigation databases, adverse media and beneficial-ownership records. Merkle-hashed audit receipt so the file is provably intact.

Layer 04

Evidence Vault

Every document uploaded by either side lives inside Vanguard's vault. Held in confidence, never shared with the counterparty on the other side of the trade. Signed digital acceptance of the Master NDNCA on first login.

§ 02Subscription tiers

Priced by who's exposed.

Brokers earn commission — the tool cost is a rounding error, so the Broker Mandate is priced for volume. Buyers and Sellers move principal money — their tier is priced for the stake and includes every human-delivered service.

Bank Call requires a digitally signed Authority to Verify letter from the counterparty — banks cannot disclose reference-letter or account information to a third party without written authority from the account holder.

§ 03Where Verify is used

Six transaction types, one discipline.

Commodity tradeVerify the counterparty's bank instrument, plant capacity, past shipments and beneficial ownership before you route an ICPO or open a DLC.
Real estateVendor identity, title chain, encumbrance and buyer proof-of-funds — verified independently before you sign a reservation or transfer a deposit.
AutomotiveHigh-value vehicle purchases across borders — VIN chain, seller identity, escrow bank verification before the wire leaves your account.
Business acquisitionsTarget company DD — corporate registry filings, sanctions, litigation, beneficial owners, and site inspection of stated premises.
Freelance & servicesVerify the identity and location of remote service providers on engagements above $10K — protect against ghost contractors.
InvestmentVerify the promoter, the fund vehicle jurisdiction, the administrator bank, and the physical office before you subscribe to the memorandum.
