  2. 2Verify the current entity in the relevant company registry or regulator register.
  3. 3Check whether the website domain, legal entity and account documents point to the same business.
  4. 4Read any corporate-change, license-history or warning notice before relying on older information.
  5. 5Treat founded year as background context, not a substitute for regulation, pricing and withdrawal checks.
