The Problem

Why Due Diligence Matters

$5.4B+

Annual Commodity Fraud

Billions are lost every year to commodity trading fraud, from fictitious cargo schemes to forged documents and identity theft.

68%

Lack Trust in Counterparties

The majority of commodity traders report trust as their number one concern when dealing with new international counterparties.

45%

Deals Fall Through

Nearly half of all cross-border commodity deals collapse due to document discrepancies, payment failures, or unverified parties.

CommBridge was built to solve these problems. Our 7-Layer Due Diligence system is not a checkbox exercise — it is a continuous, integrated verification framework that protects every stage of a commodity transaction.

The Framework

The 7 Layers of Verification

Each layer builds on the previous one, creating an unbreakable chain of trust from first contact to final delivery.

1

Identity Verification

Layer 1 of 7

Every individual on CommBridge undergoes rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. We validate government-issued IDs, passports, and conduct real-time liveness detection to ensure you are dealing with real, verified people — not fabricated identities.

Passport & national ID validation
Biometric liveness detection
Sanctions & watchlist screening
Multi-document cross-referencing
2

Company Verification

Layer 2 of 7

We verify the legitimacy of every business entity. From confirming business registration and incorporation documents to tracing beneficial ownership structures and screening for Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), no detail is overlooked.

Business registration validation
Beneficial ownership tracing
PEP & adverse media screening
Corporate structure analysis
3

Financial Verification

Layer 3 of 7

Financial integrity is non-negotiable. We verify bank accounts, perform credit assessments, and validate the source of funds to ensure every party has the financial standing and legitimacy required for the transaction.

Bank account verification
Credit history assessment
Source of funds validation
Financial capacity confirmation
4

Product Verification

Layer 4 of 7

Before any commodity changes hands, we verify product quality. Sellers must upload quality certificates, certificates of origin, and independent lab reports. This ensures that what is listed is what you actually receive.

Quality certificates validation
Certificate of origin checks
Independent lab report review
Product specification matching
5

Shipping Verification

Layer 5 of 7

Once goods are dispatched, we track every step. Bill of lading verification, real-time shipment tracking, and carrier authentication all ensure that commodities are in transit as promised and headed to the correct destination.

Bill of lading authentication
Real-time GPS tracking
Carrier & vessel verification
Route anomaly detection
6

Delivery Verification

Layer 6 of 7

Arrival does not mean the deal is done. Our delivery verification layer includes on-site inspection upon arrival, independent quantity and quality checks, and photographic evidence — confirming the goods match the original order.

On-arrival inspection
Quantity & weight verification
Quality conformance check
Photographic evidence capture
7

Quality Assurance

Layer 7 of 7

The final layer closes the loop. Post-delivery reviews, mutual ratings, and a structured dispute resolution process ensure long-term accountability. Every completed transaction strengthens the trust profile of both parties.

Mutual rating system
Structured dispute resolution
