According to Tim Fung, founder and CEO of Airtasker, building accountability from scratch is not always efficient. A partnership announced Tuesday between his company and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) will aim to import some old-school trust into the gig economy.
For joint customers, a “CommBank Identified” badge can be added to their Airtasker profile as part of a pilot program, indicating their name and date of birth have all been verified by the bank. In other words, if you hire “John Smith” to mow your lawn, you can be pretty certain it’s in fact John Smith knocking on your front door.
