What our badges mean

Vetted.bb has confirmed this person is who they say they are, by phone verification or a manual check.

How it’s earned

Automatically when a professional confirms their phone number, or manually after Vetted.bb checks their identity and work.

Where you’ll see it

Look for it next to the name on search cards, profiles and in conversations.

Vetted.bb has manually checked that this organisation is genuine, so a professional can trust an enquiry from it.

How it’s earned

Manually. Vetted.bb checks that an organisation account belongs to the organisation it names before marking it. Unverified organisations can still search and enquire.

Where you’ll see it

Professionals see it on enquiries, so they know a message from a ministry, a company or a charity is genuine.

This professional has told us they are registered as a vendor with the Treasury, which government departments need before they can pay a supplier.

How it’s earned

The professional sets it themselves once they have registered as a vendor with the Treasury. It is a declaration, not something Vetted.bb can verify, and it is not required to use the site.

Where you’ll see it

Organisations hiring for government work can filter search results to registered vendors.
