How the platform fits together

These services work together rather than as isolated pages. A verified user can browse public marketplace activity, sign in to act, track settlement, manage wallet preferences, use organisation tools and then report on the outcome. CarbonTrader is designed to keep that chain clear for New Zealand carbon market participants while official ETS account infrastructure remains separate. For background on the ETS itself, see the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme.

Practical guidance

Using this part of CarbonTrader responsibly

This page is part of a wider trading and settlement platform, so it should be read with the broader account journey in mind. Public information helps users understand what the platform offers, but important actions such as bidding, responding to buy requests, creating organisation records, changing settlement instructions or using reporting tools require authenticated access and the right permissions.

Before taking action, users should check that their profile is complete, their ETS and bank details are accurate, and any organisation authority has been confirmed internally. Carbon trading can involve operational, accounting, tax and compliance considerations, so clear records matter. CarbonTrader is designed to support those records through account history, notifications, wallet activity, settlement events and reporting tools.

The platform does not provide financial, legal, tax or investment advice. Users should make their own commercial decisions and seek professional advice where appropriate. For official information about the New Zealand emissions trading environment, refer to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Register.

For active users, the account area is the best place to keep work organised. It groups verification, profile details, wallet settings, organisations, forestry workflows, RFQs, market data, enterprise reporting, government auction invitations and notifications into clear tabs so users do not need to scroll through every tool at once.

Account next steps

What to do next

New users should start with verification, then complete the trading profile in the account area. Existing users should sign in before taking action so the platform can apply the correct account status, organisation role, wallet preference, settlement instruction and notification settings.

For businesses, it is sensible to decide who is authorised to create opportunities, approve settlement instructions, review reports and respond to notices before active trading begins. That preparation reduces delays when an auction, buy request, RFQ or settlement record needs attention.
