What "Verified by Turtini network" means

When you add an EIN to an account and that EIN matches a Turtini-verified org elsewhere on the platform, the account is auto-stamped "Verified by Turtini network" — instantly, with no charge.

Why this exists:
KYB is expensive. If a real LLC has already gone through Stripe Connect KYB or paid Middesk verification once on Turtini, there's no fraud-prevention reason to re-verify them every time another org adds them as an account. Once is enough. Mirroring that verification across the platform is the network effect of being on a shared trust layer.

What gets mirrored:
• The verified status itself (your account shows "Verified")
• The full KYB snapshot the verifying org received (SoS, watchlists, officers, business age) — so the rest of your platform features (Trust Score signals, fraud filters) work as if you'd run the check yourself

What does NOT get mirrored:
• Recent re-verification — if the source org's verification ages out, the network match doesn't auto-update yours; you'd need to force a re-verify
• Risk-side signals from the source org (their fraud blocks, moderation history, etc. are private and not shared)

How to tell which method verified an account:
Look at the badge text on the account's Tax ID Verification panel:
• "Verified by Turtini network" — free, mirrored from another verified org
• "Verified by Middesk" — your org paid for the full KYB
• "Verified by IRS" — your org paid for Tax1099 TIN match (legacy provider)
• "Verified by Stripe" — only applies to your own org doc, not accounts in your CRM
