Confirm a merchant trades at its address A verified person visits the listed address in Lagos and photographs the storefront and signage, dated and geotagged — the simplest confirmation that the shop is real and open.

You onboard merchants you have never seen — and carry every ghost one yourself.
A pin on a map, a photo of a shopfront, a name on a form: none of it proves the merchant is real, trading today, and who it claims to be. Before you list it, lend against it or send it stock, you are trusting a stranger — and a borrowed address, a copied storefront or one merchant posing as another becomes your write-off, your bad loan, your stranded inventory.
What closes the gap is someone standing in front of the shop who confirms it trades, sights the paperwork on display and tests the counter for real.

Define & fund
Set the check — the merchant, the address, what to look for — and fund it once. The money locks in escrow before anyone sets out.
Wallet & escrowThe checks you can run. Each one honestly stated — Live, Pilot or Gated, never claiming more than it delivers.
Full vendor verification The storefront confirmed, the licence or registration document sighted on display — present or not, never the number read or stored — the stock and premises matched to what the merchant claims, and a short buying interaction scored for accuracy, pricing and honesty.
Registry-scored anti-impersonation The merchant checked against the official record and scored for impersonation — one merchant posing as another, or a name that does not match the shop on the ground.
