Why does Anchor require my full SSN?

Why a full Social Security Number is required for identity verification during KYB.

Written by Yair Zirulnik

To comply with U.S. financial regulations, our payment processors require a full SSN for identity verification. This is a standard industry requirement to ensure compliance, prevent fraud, and facilitate secure payment processing.

While verification methods may vary in certain cases, providing a full SSN is mandatory to keep your account in good standing and allow payments to process without disruption. Since this requirement is set by the payment processors, we are unable to override it.
