How the Verified Banker badge works

Last updated: 1 July 2026

The badge means we did one of two specific checks. It is not an endorsement by any bank and it does not certify a professional qualification.

This page is maintained by the BankerBro team. It reflects current app-visible controls and operator practices. It is not a legal certification or third-party audit. For questions, email hello@bankerbro.com.

Method 1 — Professional email OTP

  1. You enter your professional email (for example name.surname@sbi.co.in).
  2. We check the domain against our list of recognised Indian banks and NBFCs.
  3. We send a 6-digit code to that address. The code expires in 10 minutes and allows 5 attempts.
  4. Entering the correct code proves you can receive email at that address today. Your badge is granted immediately and the code is deleted.

Method 2 — HR-letter review

  1. You upload a scanned HR letter, offer letter or joining letter. It is stored in a private bucket only the BankerBro review team can access.
  2. A reviewer confirms the document is issued by the bank and matches the profile name.
  3. On approval, your badge is granted and the document is deleted within 30 days.
  4. If the document does not verify, we notify you with the reason and delete the file.

What the badge does NOT mean

  • It is not issued or endorsed by the bank.
  • It does not certify professional qualifications (JAIIB, CAIIB, NISM, etc.).
  • It does not authorise the holder to make statements on behalf of the bank.

Losing the badge

The badge is revoked when the account is deleted, when the user tells us they have left the bank, or if we detect abuse (for example a shared inbox). Bank-community access is gated on the badge, so revoking it removes access to that community.
