Beautifully controlled NZU trading
Identity first
Start with Sumsub. Your verified name, email, and phone flow through to the rest of your application automatically.
Wallet or ETS delivery
Choose whether settled NZUs are delivered to your Carbon Trader® Wallet or your verified ETS account.
A better way to trade NZUs with confidence
Beautifully simple onboarding, verified traders, and escrow-led settlement for New Zealand carbon trading.
Carbon Trader® helps verified organisations buy, sell, and hold NZUs through auctions, buy requests, and a custody wallet backed 1:1 by NZUs held in Trend Enterprises’ ETS account.
Email, phone, applicant data, advanced liveness, and identity documents are handled in a single client-facing journey.
Businesses can list NZUs for sale or publish funded buy requests, with escrow confirmation before public activation.
Carbon Trader® keeps each trade visible through funding, release checkpoints, notifications, and final completion.
Marketplace
Current NZU auction listings
Verified sellers can list NZU lots for auction with optional Buy Now pricing. Listings remain pending until NZU escrow is confirmed.
Marketplace
Current NZU buy requests
Verified buyers can publish fixed-price requests for NZUs. Requests stay pending until NZD funding has cleared into escrow.

Built for careful trading rather than a noisy exchange model
Every stage is shaped around identity verification, escrow checkpoints, clear communication, and operational oversight.
Begin with identity verification
Start with Sumsub so your verified personal details can flow into the rest of your application without duplicated typing.
Choose your trading profile
Set your public username, company details, and secure password only after the verified identity step is complete.
Add ETS and settlement details
Provide the NZ ETS account and payout details Carbon Trader® needs to review, approve, and settle your future trades.
Trade with visibility
From listing approval to settlement release, every major checkpoint is visible to users and operations staff.

No repeated contact fields
Designed for real businesses
Start with verification, then build your trading profile
We have redesigned the sign-up journey so your legal name, verified email, and verified mobile come from Sumsub first. Once that is done, you can choose your public username, company details, and password.
1. Start verification
2. Complete Sumsub
3. Set trading profile
4. Submit for review
Your first name, last name, email, and mobile are now expected to come from the verified Sumsub journey rather than being typed twice.
Once verification is complete, finish the business, ETS, bank, and preferences information Carbon Trader® needs for review.
Start your verification
You can still use Google or Apple for a smoother sign-in experience later. To begin trading access, we first launch the secure Sumsub verification flow.
FAQs
Questions businesses usually ask first
These points cover the most important expectations before you create your first listing or buy request.
Is this an exchange?
No. Carbon Trader® is designed as an escrow-led auction and buy-request platform, not as a live exchange matching engine.
When does a listing go live?
A sell listing stays pending until the required NZUs have been confirmed in escrow. Only then can it be published as scheduled or active.
When does a buy request go live?
A buy request stays pending until the required NZD funding is confirmed in escrow. Once cleared, it can be published to the marketplace.
Can bidder names be hidden?
Yes. Admin settings can mask bidder handles, show only the first and last letter, and control whether reserve or overtime notices are displayed.
What alerts will traders receive?
Transactional email flows run through Mailgun, lifecycle and marketing events flow into Klaviyo, and operational SMS notifications flow through Kudosity.
