Verify Contracting Legal Name
Confirm that the exact corporate entity named in your client service agreement matches the legal entity recorded against certificate 48657 (DISCOVERY BANK LIMITED), rather than an unregulated offshore group affiliate.
Cross-Check Approved Web Domain
Clone firms routinely spoof genuine licence numbers on look-alike domains. Verify that the domain hosting your login portal matches the regulator-approved domain on file (http://www.discovery.co.za/bank/bank).
Audit Retail & Client-Money Scope
Inspect the primary supervisory register to ensure licence 48657 explicitly authorises retail client onboarding, segregated client trust accounts, and the derivative or spot instruments you intend to trade.

How is the SHA-256 verification digest for licence 48657 calculated?
