6. Can I ask bidders questions about their identity/security?

Estimated reading time: < 1 min

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Use in-app chat to verify who you’re hiring before you commit.

What you can ask for:

  • License number and trade certification
  • Insurance certificate (COI) or proof of bond
  • Business name and address
  • Photos of past completed work
  • Who will physically be on-site
  • Estimated arrival window

Trust signals to look for: Every AllBetter pro goes through Stripe Identity verification. Look for the ID-Verified badge and optional Background Check badge on their profile.

Pro tip: Keep all chat and payments in-app. Escrow Shield protects you only when you stay on the platform.
