Hi there - we appreciate you raising the concern. Having your bank account and routing numbers helps us verify ownership of a payment account, but that’s only one part of regulatory requirements. It doesn’t replace the identity verification we’re required to complete when opening or maintaining an account.
We explain the difference between these two verification processes here: https://t.co/g49p6ADfQY
We want to be as transparent as possible about this process since we know people care deeply about it.
Thanks for raising this. As a regulated financial service, we’re required to verify the identity of every person who opens an account. This helps us meet our regulatory requirements and protect our customers and ourselves from fraud and identity theft.
Persona is one of the tools we use to fulfill that obligation. However, we only request biometric verification (a selfie + photo ID) from around 6% of signups, and in an extremely limited number of cases, we may also request it from existing customers who trigger a flag for additional verification.
We're written about why and how we use Persona here: https://t.co/EbptJ6TxO0
We also have a blog post better explaining our regulatory obligations: https://t.co/g49p6ADfQY

@alexanderchopan X is on the list - you should be able to access it by scrolling down. (Will double-check this is working as intended). But to clarify, we're open to all types of creators.
@BidenBacker2024 Hi John, we appreciate you following up about this and apologize for the continued frustration. We believe we've located your ticket, and a senior member of our team has reached out with new information. Please let us know if you don't see it or run into continued trouble.
@uvRain Thanks for getting in touch. A locked card shouldn't be able to get authorized anywhere else; filing a dispute is a good first step. Can you please DM us the email on your account so we can take a closer look ASAP?
@BidenBacker2024 Thanks for flagging this - we're sorry for the slow response times. Please DM us the email on your account so we can make sure your concern gets handled.
These types of apps are constant targets. If you use a quick order app, use as much alias information as possible to contain the damage. Alias names, emails like those from @SimpleLogin, and merchant locked debit cards from @PrivacyHQ. Protect yourself and own your privacy!
Hey Kevin, thanks for catching this! We've been updating our website and must've missed this typo. Apologies for any confusion. It's now fixed to "unauthorized," meaning we'll decline any charge at a merchant other than the one you've locked the card to. If you have any questions about Privacy or getting started, feel free to reply here or send us a DM!
