For individuals
For you
Portable proof for whenever an important decision is on the line — build it once, reuse it across web and mobile.
Audience: everyday members using TumiTrust on web or mobile.
Portable Trust Infrastructure (PTI) is not only for banks and partners — you are part of the same network. You build proof from community validation and verified activity; when an important decision is on the line, you share that proof or someone runs a trust lookup on the platform.
Institution or verifier? See For institutions. Partner ingesting data? See For partners.

How you relate to institutions and partners
Everyone uses the same trust layer — different surfaces, same ideas:
| Role | Who | What they do | How it touches you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual (you) | Members | Build profile, share Trust CV, run lookups when needed | You control what you share; your activity and validations feed your trust profile |
| Trust producer | Shops, lenders, telcos, platforms | Send verified activity into PTI | Their signals can appear in your context indicators when linked to your profile |
| Trust consumer | Banks, landlords, employers | Run trust report lookups | They may request a formal report when their process requires it — not the same as you emailing a PDF |
| Verifier | Some institutions | Issue badges and run credential checks | Adds durable verification to your profile |
TumiTrust does not lend, hire, rent, or decide for third parties — organizations make their own choices using the proof the platform surfaces.
Three ways trust travels
| Path | Who starts it | Typical cost | What the other party gets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trust CV | You share | Free in usual member flows | Your trust profile (link / QR) — not a full institution report |
| Trust lookup (you → them) | You on someone else | Your credits (or included quota on your plan) | Structured trust report for your decision |
| Trust lookup (them → you) | An organization (or another member) on you | Their credits | Structured report for their process — often with a Report ID they can reference |
Practical rule: share Trust CV when asked for proof; expect a formal lookup when their desk or policy requires a report. Organizations use the same lookup product from the institution hub or API — see Trust platform API.
Trust contexts in everyday life
Trust is context-scoped — rental history and merchant activity do not collapse into one mystery number. There are 20+ documented life-area contexts (10 primary, 10 lens). You see the contexts relevant to your profile; institutions request specific contexts when they run a lookup.
Full ID list: Documented trust contexts (same vocabulary consumers and producers share).
Common questions
Is the platform free?
Yes for building your profile, connections, endorsements, and Trust CV sharing. Trust lookups debit credits from whoever runs the check (you or an organization), as posted in product.
Do I need mobile money connected?
No. Connectors are optional; community validation and badges alone can carry a strong profile.
Who can see my trust profile?
- What you share: Trust CV and connection visibility follow your settings.
- Trust lookups: Organizations and members with credits and product entitlements may run a lookup under platform rules and applicable law — different from casually browsing search results. See Trust lookup in the glossary.
What if I miss a payment on a loan or lease?
TumiTrust does not service your contract. Non-performance may affect in-product signals over time; contact the institution you owe first. Product support: hi@tumitrust.com.
