Why do you need my SSN to open an account?


We require your SSN to validate your information and to verify your identity. If you don’t have a Social Security Number, then we will ask for alternative identification to verify you such as the below documents:

  1. Driver's License
  2. Passport
  3. Consular Identification Card

We also encrypt this data on our end for security purposes and as added protection.
