Every account on MANDE is checked before you can take on jobs. It keeps MANDE safe for makers and customers, and our payment partners need to know who we are paying.
Signing up, step by step
- Create your profile with your name, email, phone number and a password, and agree to our Terms and Privacy policy.
- Enter the 6-digit code we email you.
- Choose a plan and pay through our payment partner's secure checkout.
- Add your company details, your NIN and a photo of your NIN card. On the Workshop and Studio plans, add your company tax number and business licence number too.
- Tell us about your workshop: your team size, specialities, lead time and materials.
Your progress is saved as you go, so you can finish later on the same device.
What we check
We check your NIN, with your name and date of birth, against the national identity records through our verification partner. Our team then reviews the photo of your NIN card by hand. Your NIN is stored encrypted, and only its last 4 digits are ever shown again.
How long it takes
It usually takes 1 to 2 working days. You'll get a notification as soon as it's done. If a card is rejected, you'll see why, and you can upload a new photo from Settings.
