What is Contra’s Identity Verified Badge?


The Identity Verified Badge on Contra profiles is a symbol of trust and authenticity, indicating that a freelancer has securely connected their bank account to their Contra wallet. This verification process helps clients feel confident that the freelancer they’re considering is legitimate and ready to receive payments.


Freelancers don’t need to apply for this badge—it’s automatically added to their profile once their bank account is successfully linked. The Identity Verified Badge is a crucial part of creating a trusted marketplace where both clients and freelancers can collaborate confidently.


Why Display the Identity Verified Badge?


In the world of freelancing, trust is everything. The Identity Verified Badge helps you build that trust with potential clients by showing that you’ve taken an extra step to confirm your identity. This not only demonstrates professionalism but also reassures clients that they’re working with someone who’s serious about their business.


Here’s why the Identity Verified Badge matters:

  • Establishes Credibility: By verifying your identity, you make it clear that you’re a real freelancer who is ready for business.

  • Enhances Client Trust: Clients are more likely to choose freelancers they know are verified and prepared to receive payments, which can lead to securing more projects.

  • Ensures Security: The badge is a signal to both clients and the Contra platform that you’ve completed essential security steps, ensuring a safer experience for all parties.


How to Get the Identity Verified Badge


Getting your Identity Verified Badge on Contra is simple and secure:

Connect Your Bank Account: To get verified, all you need to do is link your bank account to your Contra wallet. This process is fast, secure, and ensures you’re ready to receive payments directly through Contra.

Automatic Badge Addition: Once your bank account is connected, the badge is automatically added to your profile, signaling to clients that your identity has been confirmed.


Why Badges Matter to Clients


Clients want to know that they’re working with reliable and trustworthy freelancers. The Identity Verified Badge is an easy way to show clients that you’ve been vetted by the platform and are ready for business. This badge can make the difference between being chosen for a project or being passed over, especially when trust is a priority.

By having the Identity Verified Badge, you’ll not only stand out but also increase your chances of landing more projects, as clients can focus on what matters—your skills and experience—knowing they’re working with someone trustworthy.
