What the free basic check looks at
MT799 as proof of funds, leased or "monetised" SBLCs, MT760 from the seller first, fees before the contract, 100% advance, no inspection, dip-and-pay, TTT/TTO, "below market", a mandate with no letter, missing basics.
Free webmail, an e-mail domain that is not the website's, domain age, lookalikes of real terminals, refiners, banks and majors, and public warning lists such as the storage-spoofing blacklist.
IMO check digit, the price against our market reference, the registry (Global LEI Index) and a sanctions name screen, and whether the seller holds a Vanguard Verified Passport.
The bank verification pack (part of the USD 299 Analyst Deal Check)
Banks confirm guarantees and SBLCs bank-to-bank. Bank of China's Johannesburg branch, for example, verifies them on a formal request — the original at its counter or an authenticated SWIFT message from the beneficiary's bank — and does not confirm authenticity verbally (boc.cn). A buyer or broker cannot check an instrument alone. With the Analyst Deal Check you get:
- The issuing bank's real SWIFT/BIC and its officially published trade-finance verification channel, found independently — never from the offer.
- A ready-to-send letter for your own bank, asking it to authenticate the instrument bank-to-bank (MT799 / MT760 reference, amount, date).
- Our expert reading of the instrument wording: ICC rule references, expiry, governing law, and wording that does not match a real SBLC.
Your bank asks their bank. We tell you exactly what to ask and read every line for you.

FAQ
Is the basic check really free?
Yes. No sign-up and no card. It checks the wording of the offer, the seller's e-mail and website, the vessel number, the price against our reference, the company registry and a sanctions name screen.
What does it not check?
Document forensics and the bank and SWIFT checks: the Deal Check (USD 8.88) runs those. A human review, the storage terminal and a site visit need a person: the Analyst Deal Check (USD 299), the storage check (USD 199) and site visits (USD 300).
Do you keep my offer?
We keep the seller's domain and the deal details (product, price, incoterm, port) to improve our checks. The full offer text is kept only if you tick "Send to the Verify team".
Can my bank rely on the result?
The free result is an automatic screen, not a full verification. The Analyst Deal Check gives you a human-reviewed written report that you can name in your Letter of Credit with our free LC clause kit.
