When Certifying Members, Tradeloop performs 130+ manual and algorithmic checks. This process and system was designed by Tradeloop itself to utilize online sources combined with uploaded credential documents by the member in order to verify the identity of a company, along with their reputation in the industry.
The checks are performed across five different categories, producing a Tradeloop Score which is an at-a-glance ranking of the completion of their due diligence checks, along with a simple comparison of the Member against other Tradeloop members. This information is all displayed in a Due Diligence Report, which all members can view online.

Tradeloop requires all users to complete our account verification process to access various platform features. There are three verification levels: Basic Access, Verified Buyer, and Verified Seller. Each level has specific requirements and unlocks access to additional content and features, ensuring a secure and trusted trading environment.
To start the verification process, visit your account page and click on the Account Verification link. You will be asked to provide items such as a verified email, mobile phone number, payment information, or a photo ID. Once submitted, our team typically reviews and approves your access within 30 to 60 minutes during normal business hours.

Once submitted, our team typically reviews and approves your access within 30 to 60 minutes during normal business hours.
Apart from the account verification process, once you start a membership, we need you to complete a Membership Application. During this process, we collect documents or information to verify your business and build a Due Diligence report accessible by other members.
While it may seem duplicative of our account verification efforts, we're really looking for 1 to 2 items about your business, which could include, but are not limited to, a business license, reseller certificate, tax documents, or other certifications (such as ISO, OHSAS, R2, NAID, etc.).
Although we only require a couple items, we recommend providing as many as possible. This helps build credibility for your company on Tradeloop, as other users rely on our due diligence reports to make informed decisions about who to do business with.

Membership Dues
As of the 1st of January, 2017, we have added a $5 per month fee to each Tradeloop account. This fee finances our ethics and application processes. We hope you agree that this is a small price to pay to maintain the highest level of ethics and professional responsibility throughout our industry.
What is the Ethics Process?
The Ethics Process involves an independent complaints board run by a volunteer committee of fifteen industry experts (none of whom have a financial interest in Tradeloop).
How does the process work?
Disputes can be filed against anyone in the industry and, when a complaint is filed, the Ethics Committee reviews the complaint, investigates, mediates, discusses findings, and then votes on recommended actions or sanctions. Sanctions range from a private warning to being permanently banned from using the Tradeloop website.
How are the fees used?
The fees are used to fund our software, volunteer expenses, and staff time in administering the process and maintaining the database of members.
Why a separate fund?
Our goal is to provide improved transparency for the process and for it to become self-sustaining.
History of The Code
The Tradeloop Code of Business Practices and Ethics is based on long-standing procedures originally established by the Information Technology Resellers Association (ITRA) and the Digital Dealers Association (DDA), former industry trade associations.
Why is it important to have impartial committee members?
Tradeloop believes there is a conflict of interest for any trading network that has an active role in a decision-making process which involves the possibility of banning a member (who is, after all, a paying customer of the network). We believe the only way to deal with complaints about behaviour, payment issues or counterfeiting is via an impartial committee. Tradeloop's volunteer Ethics Committee consists of a diverse group of industry experts who have no stake in the outcome of their decisions. We believe there is no fairer way to resolve disputes.
We hope you agree and we thank you for your continuing support.

If you are involved in an Ethics Complaint, the best thing to do is to respond directly in the online Ethics Case blog. Provide a short, concise and transparent response to let the Ethics Committee know you want to address the issue(s). Do NOT ignore the case, even if you're still working with the claimant, and think they're going to withdraw it.
We also recommend immediately collecting and uploading any relevant communications, documents, timelines or other transaction documents into the documentation section of the case. A clear picture of what occurred during the transaction will be greatly appreciated by the Ethics Committee.

The Tradeloop Ethics Process is a complaint board for the entire industry, run by a volunteer committee of industry experts. Disputes can be filed against anyone. In fact, most complaints involve companies that are NOT Tradeloop Members, and transactions that occurred elsewhere.
When a complaint is filed, the Ethics Committee reviews the complaint, asks questions, attempts to mediate, discusses privately, and then votes. Sanctions ranging from a private warning to public banishment can be issued. This is a service run for the industry. If you've been ripped off, file a complaint. To identify potential risk factors before you complete a transaction, check our Ethics database, and company due diligence reports to see if someone has a complaint against them.
To learn more about the Ethics Process, visit the ethics section to read our Code of Ethics, read a full breakdown of the process, and view a list of our volunteer Ethics Committee.

Organizations applying for Certified Membership are placed in an "application pending" status, only visible to Tradeloop, while we verify their identity. This can take a couple of days if we need to collect additional documents or information. Once verified, the company becomes a New Member and is under Membership Review while the Advisory Committee (AC) reviews and, if necessary, requests further information. The member is granted full site access. After a six month waiting period to ensure there are no issues, objections, or complaints, Certified Membership status is earned.
Tradeloop is not just a subscription website. We are a Membership organization and a community. We take the safety of our community very seriously. We have the tightest verification in the industry to keep you and all of our dealers safe. Ethics, verification, and providing a safe trading environment is what we are all about.
