Trust & safety
Verification shows other traders who you are. Each level adds checks on your company and the people behind it, and unlocks larger deals. It's free; aLTlas never charges anyone to be verified.
The account holder sends the documents the level asks for. Level 0 starts with a confirmed email and a phone number.
Email and domain, phone format and the sanctions lists are checked. A machine never awards a badge.
A named reviewer works the same checklist you see. Approve stays off until every item is ticked and every flag has a written resolution.
Your badge shows the date checked and a 12-month renewal.
Level 2, 3 and 4 are requested from the member centre. A possible sanctions match stays with a person until they decide it.
| Level | What you submit | Who checks | Usually | Unlocks / deal cap |

| L3Owners and sanctions | Beneficial owners above the threshold, and their IDs | Verification desk; every director and owner is screened | About 7 working days | USD 1,000,000Introductions up to this cap |
| L4Completed a deal | Nothing extra: a matched closed outcome and a paid aLTlas invoice | The desk confirms the deal record | About 2 working days after both confirm | No limit |
Limits apply per introduction, by deal value band. Browsing is always free. aLTlas sets the limits and may change them; changes never cancel introductions already in progress. Amounts in US dollars. Times are usual times and can change.
The checks behind each expert badge, and the tools we use.
Kept: the result, the reviewer and the date.
Kept: the result, the reviewer and the date. For registration and passport files, also a file fingerprint; the file itself is deleted.
Verification is free. Verified means aLTlas checked their documents; it is not a guarantee of performance.
The aLTlas Provider badge is for established, licensed firms invited into a pool. The desk records the date of each check.
You resubmit within 14 days. The case closes if there is no reply.
You get a reason code you can read. Apply again up to 3 times in 90 days, and appeal once within 30 days.
A sanctions or PEP possible match is never decided automatically. The compliance lead decides.
New introductions above the remaining cap stop. An introduction already accepted continues.
Verification confirms identity and documents at a point in time. It does not guarantee financial standing, performance, the goods or the outcome of a deal.
