Buyer Verification · For exporters
Score European buyers before you extend trade credit.
The reverse of factory risk scoring — built for Asian exporters and European distributors checking the buyer side. Public-registry verification, credit-band signals, recommended payment terms. The first step before issuing an invoice on Net-30, Net-60, or extending any open-account credit.
How it works
Snapshot pre-check now · binding credit pull next.
v1 returns an indicative pre-check. Production-grade verification connects to Creditreform / D&B / Atradius for binding credit reports.
01
Tell us the buyer name + country
Optional registry ID (KRS / Handelsregister / Companies House) speeds up verification. Most fields are optional in v1; a country code is enough to point at the right registry.
02
Check against the snapshot
We match against curated known-buyer profiles (tier-1 European retailers, distributors, marketplaces). Match → instant low-risk verdict with a recommended trade-credit cap.
03
Heuristic fallback for unknown buyers
If the buyer isn't in our snapshot, we point at the right public registry (KRS / Handelsregister / KvK / Companies House) and recommend a paid credit pull (€30–€150) before extending credit.
04
Recommendation drives the payment-term decision
Acceptable → Net-30/60. Require security → LC at sight or trade-credit insurance. Decline → 100% advance payment only. Each verdict ties back to the recommended OrcaTrade Trade Finance route.
