We ask for social security number to do identity verification, which helps us in ensuring that it is actually you who is opening the account and not an imposter; and that we deny service to anyone who is on government watchlists for money laundering or terrorism watchlists. Hence, we are required legally - similar to other fintechs to collect this information before opening an account for you
