Abstract: A web based computerized system and method for verifying accredited investor status, includes a server capable of receiving data related to an investor or prospective investor. The server has software configured to determine, using analytic algorithms, whether, from the data, an investor or prospective investor is a natural person, and if so whether the investor or prospective investor meets the income and/or asset value thresholds in order to qualify as an accredited investor. If the system determines that the investor or prospective investor is not a natural person, the software is further configured to determine whether the investor or prospective investor, based on the received data, is an entity that qualifies as an accredited investor by the nature of the investor or prospective investor.
