Square’s scary and impressive identity confirmation screen
- rogk11 14y agoBanks, credit card companies know a lot about you - residences, employment history, family history etc. All the data is tied to your SSN.
- zaidf 14y agoThey never took my SSN.
- cheald 14y agoIf you've ever done a credit report, you'll recognize these questions; these sorts of questions are standard fare. I suspect it's not Square doing them, but rather, they're just farming identity verification out to another vendor who already does this sort of thing.
- eps 14y agoI'm fairly certain that they are using 3rd party service to run these checks. It's a well-established industry with banks, credit unions, car dealerships, etc as their clients.
