Is this vendor real? Check a seller before you pay
Search a business name. If a Cordelia field agent has visited its address and found it trading, you will see a Verified page with the date. No accusations, no anonymous reviews.
A Verified Vendor is a business that a verified Cordelia field agent has visited in person and found trading at its address, with a photo of the signboard. 4 businesses are verified right now. If a business is not listed, it only means no agent has visited it yet. It does not mean anything is wrong.
Verified vendors as at 15 November 2026
4 in the register today: 0 visited by a field agent, and 4 from the Analaize group, the company behind Cordelia. Analaize group listings are verified as first-party businesses of the company behind Cordelia, and are labelled as such, separate from independent field-agent visits.
A real person goes and looks
1. You ask
Enter the business name and address, and pay ₦4,000.00 from your Cordelia wallet. The money is held, not spent.
2. An agent visits
A field agent with a verified ID goes to the address, photographs the signboard or shop front, and reports what they find: there, a different business, or nothing.
3. You decide
You see the answer and the photo privately and accept it, and the agent is paid. Only a confirmed visit becomes a public Verified page. Anything else stays between you and Cordelia.
Vendors can use it too
Order a check on your own business and show a Verified badge to customers on your website, Instagram bio or shop window.
Verified means the business was found trading at that address on that date. It is not a guarantee of quality or future behaviour.
Questions people ask
What does Verified mean?
A verified Cordelia field agent went to the business address on the date shown, found the business trading there, and sent a photo of the signboard or shop front. That is all it means.
Does Not yet verified mean a vendor is a scam?
No. It only means no Cordelia agent has visited yet. Most real businesses are simply not on the list. We never label a business as a scam, and we do not publish accusations or open reviews.
What does Verified not tell me?
It does not guarantee the quality of what a vendor sells, that they will deliver, or that they will deal fairly with you in future. It confirms the business exists and was operating at that address on the date shown. Keep using safe payment habits.
How do I get a vendor checked?
Open a free Cordelia business account, choose Check a vendor under Ask the Market, enter the business name and address, and pay ₦4,000.00 from your wallet. A verified field agent visits and answers, usually within two days. If nobody answers, the money is refunded.
Can a vendor check its own business?
Yes. A business can order a check on itself and then show the Verified badge on its website, WhatsApp status or shop window. The badge always reflects the current status, so an expired one cannot stay green.
How long does verification last?
About 6 months. After that the page shows the verification has ended until the business is checked again.
Do you publish the phone number or street address?
No. A public page shows the business name, the state and area, and the date of the visit. Street addresses, phone numbers, agent names and photos stay private.
I am a vendor and I want my page removed.
