anchor

    For watches or high-value transactions

    Know who's behind the deal before you pay, ship, or meet.

    Anchor lets both sides verify their identity and liveness, confirm control of the account they're using, and approve the exact transaction.

    Scammers get less anonymity. If something goes wrong, you keep a timestamped trail tied to a verified person—not just a username.

    Takes 2 minutes · Your ID stays private and is never stored or shared

    WHY ANCHOR

    A live page. Not a screenshot.

    Your ID stays private; only the verification result is shown.

    BENEFITS

    Build trust & create accountability
    Never share ID with strangers
    Harder to impersonate
    Protect your reputation from stolen profiles
    Safer meetups
    Close faster with less hesitation

    Why deals stall

    Almost every loss comes down to one thing: anonymity.

    Every trust signal can be faked with AI

    Transaction history, photos, accounts — all of it can be faked. None of it proves who is using the account right now.

    The account or images may not be theirs

    Established accounts get hacked and good sellers get impersonated. 

    When it goes wrong, the trail ends at a handle

    Once the account is deleted there is nobody to report or charge back against. 

    How Anchor works

    Create your Anchor once. Use it wherever you trade.

    01

    Setup

    Verify yourself privately once

    Passport or driving licence

    Live selfie check

    Liveness detection

    02

    For watch sellers

    The problem isn't the watch. It's who you can't trace.

    Protect your reputation and your business.

    Chargebacks from a buyer you can't trace

    A buyer pays, receives the watch, disputes — and the account disappears. Get their approval on record first, tied to an identity-checked person and timestamped to the exact deal.

    Save time on the trust tax on every sale

    No more proof-of-life FaceTimes, fresh timestamps and reference chasing.  One live link answers “are you legitimate?” before it gets asked.

    Your name, images and business used to scam your buyers

    If your photos get reused or an account gets hacked, your Anchor is the one place buyers can check if your accounts are compromised and what you actually authorised.

    For buyers

    Verify the seller, not just the listing.

    Know who you're paying before an unprotected payment leaves your account.

    Pay-and-vanish only works on strangers

    Wires, Zelle, F&F and crypto have no recourse. Confirm a real, identity-checked person is behind the listing before the money leaves your account.

    Fake signals don't survive a live check

    History can be farmed, timestamps and photos can be edited with AI. A page hosted by us, confirmed live, cannot be screenshotted or reused.

    Approve the exact deal first

    Get the watch, price and terms confirmed and timestamped to a verified person before you send money or travel.

    The difference

    Same deal. Two outcomes.

    Without Anchor

    • You're trusting a username and a few photos
    • If it goes wrong, they disappear untraceably
    • Screenshots and badges can be faked or reused
    • Both sides hesitate, and deals stall or die

    With Anchor

    • You're dealing with a verified person and their real accounts
    • There's a record of who confirmed the deal, and when
    • A live page they can't edit, checked in real time
    • Trust is settled up front, so deals close faster

    Takes 2 minutes · Your ID stays private and is never stored or shared

    If something goes wrong

    Report more than a username.

    Give police, the marketplace or the payment provider a clearer starting point:

    • The identity-checked Anchor behind the transaction
    • The account that person controlled
    • The watch, price and terms they approved
    • The date and time of their confirmation

    For sellers, that record can also support a response if a buyer later disputes the payment.

    Anchor does not decide the outcome. It gives investigators more to work with.

    Make it mutual

    How to ask without killing the deal.

    Sharing yours first does the asking for you. Copy this into the chat:

    "Before we go ahead: my Anchor is getanchor.id/a/your-number. Open it and ask me for a live confirmation — send me yours and we're both covered."

    Create your Anchor to copy this

    Privacy and security first

    Share your results — not your documents.

    They can see

    • Government Identity check passed
    • Liveness check passed
    • Connected account handles
    • Account control status
    • Verification dates

    They cannot see

    • Passport or ID images
    • Home address
    • Date of birth
    • Document numbers
    • Your other transactions

    Anchor verifies identity, account control and transaction approval. It does not authenticate the watch, prove ownership, provide escrow or guarantee delivery.

    Questions

    Before you ask.

    Deal with a verified person, not just a profile.

    Make "send me your Anchor" the step before anyone pays, ships or meets.
