Addressing the Big Question: “Why is ID verification necessary?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We hear you. You\u2019ve just picked out your next piece of tech, you’re counting down the days until it arrives, and then unexpectedly, an email lands in your inbox asking for a scan of your passport or license.

When a transaction is flagged for a quick review, here is exactly what happens to your data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
