Trade accounts
For motor traders running checks on the cars they buy and sell.
How do I open a trade account?
Register with your business details and a password. We email you a confirmation link, valid for 24 hours: click it to activate the account, then sign in and run checks at the trade price.
Link expired or never arrived? Use Resend confirmation email on the trade login page.
We then verify that you're in the motor trade, because trade pricing is only for motor traders. Any free checks that come with a new account are added once you're verified.
What do trade checks cost?
€6.99 per check, pay as you go. As with every check, you're only charged when records are found.
You can add the factory build sheet to any check you've run for €1.99, or buy one on its own for €2.99.
Why is my first check 'under review'?
We review the first checks on new trade accounts, which keeps trade pricing for the motor trade. Nothing is charged while a check waits, and we email you as soon as it's released, usually within a few hours.
Once we've approved your account, your checks run straight through.
A check only found a handover record. Was I charged?
No. If the only record is the dealer's pre-delivery inspection or handover from when the car was new, we don't charge: it's the same answer as finding nothing. The report still opens so you can see it.
Where are my invoices?
Every check in your trade dashboard has an Invoice button.
In your dashboard, open Account to choose how we email them: an invoice for every check, one statement a month, or no billing emails. Invoices and statements stay available to download either way.
Can colleagues use our account?
Yes. Contact us with each person's name and email address and we'll add them to your account. They sign in with their own email and password, use your account's checks, and see your check history. Each report goes to the person who ran it.
Billing and account settings stay with the account owner.
Can I put my logo on reports?
Yes. In your dashboard, open Account, go to Report branding, upload your logo and switch it on. It appears at the top of the reports you run: on screen, in PDFs, in print and in emailed copies.
Our verified-records header and the 'Powered by' line stay on every report. They show your customer that the history comes from an independent source.
I've forgotten my trade password
Use forgot password and we'll email you a link to set a new one.
