Get financially verified

Verification is optional on Revanu, with three exceptions: applying to a partnership listing needs the operator badge, publishing one needs the owner badge, and a broker firm’s listings publish once its license is approved. You can browse every listing, save searches, and write to sellers without it. What it changes is where your inquiry sorts: on a listing set to verified buyers first, yours is read first.

What verification proves

Financial verification confirms one narrow thing: that the capital you say you have exists. It is not a credit check, it is not an approval, and it does not tell a seller how much you will offer. Connect your bank and Revanu reads the balance once, automatically, and drops the connection. Send a document and a reviewer confirms it is current, in your name, and shows funds consistent with the range on your profile.

Sellers use it as a filter. A verified buyer asking for three years of financials is a different proposition from an anonymous account asking the same thing.

What counts as proof

  • A bank statement dated within the last 90 days, showing the account holder name.
  • A brokerage or investment account statement, dated within 90 days.
  • A letter from your accountant confirming liquid funds, signed and dated.
Two things get rejected most often

A screenshot of a balance instead of the full statement, and a document in a company or spouse’s name that does not match the profile name. Both are fixed the same way: send the right document, and a person reads it.

The five steps

Open the financial path

Settings, then Verification and badges, then Financial. You can also start it from any verification prompt on a listing.

Choose how you want to prove funds

Connect your bank, or choose a bank statement, a brokerage statement or an accountant letter. You only need one.

Upload the document

PDF, JPG, or PNG up to 25 MB. Redact account numbers if you prefer; we do not need them. We do need the name, the date, and the balance.

Have an identity check on your account

Government ID plus a selfie, about a minute. It belongs to your account rather than to any one path, so it happens once and every later verification reads the same result.

Submit and carry on

You can keep browsing, saving, and writing to sellers while review runs. We email you when the decision lands.

What happens during review

On the document route a person reads it, not a model. They check three things: the document is dated inside the window, the name matches your profile, and the funds are consistent with the budget on your profile. You are told when it is done.

ApprovedBadge appears on your profile and every offer you send. Valid 12 months.
Needs more informationWe say exactly what to change. Nothing is published, and a person reads what you send next.
DeclinedRare, and always explained. Usually a mismatch we cannot resolve from the document alone.

If we come back for more

A request for more information is not a rejection. The two common cases are a statement outside the 90-day window and a name mismatch. Upload a current statement in your own name and it goes back into the same review.

Renewing after 12 months

Financial verification expires after a year because proof of funds goes stale. Renewal is one bank connection or one upload. Your identity check belongs to the account, so it is not part of a renewal at all. We prompt you a month before it lapses, and the badge is hidden rather than deleted if it does.
