Getting verified in the US

If you live in the US, we might need your Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) when making a transfer from USD, ordering a Wise card or opening USD account details. 

It’s a completely secure, one-time only verification process that we have to do as part of how we’re regulated in the US. We don’t run a credit check or share your number. 

Do not send a copy of your social security card.

We handle all your private data securely, and according to data protection regulations. 

If your SSN or ITIN isn't accepted, you'll also have an option to verify yourself with an ID and your selfie.

If you’re not a US citizen, we’ll ask for your non-US ID.

Where can I see how much I’ve sent in USD?

In your mobile app, under Payments you can tap on Transfer Limits to see how much you’ve sent and when we’ll need you to share your SSN or ID.
