To receive payments and stay compliant with payment regulations, you may be required to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) on your Maroo account. This article will guide you through where to enter your SSN and explain why it’s needed.
Why Is My SSN Required?
Maroo partners with Stripe, a secure payment processor, to handle transactions. As part of standard financial regulations, Stripe may require identity verification to:
Confirm your identity
Prevent fraud and ensure security
Enable payouts to your bank account
Comply with tax and financial reporting requirements
Providing your SSN helps ensure your account remains fully functional and able to receive payments without interruptions.
Where to Find the SSN Section
The SSN field is located under Legal Details, which is part of your Business Details section in Settings. This is where all identity and verification-related information is managed.
How to Enter Your SSN
You can add or update your SSN directly from your Maroo dashboard by following these steps:
Log in to your Maroo dashboard
Go to Settings
Scroll down to Business Details then select Legal Details
Click on SSN and enter your information
❗Be sure to save your changes once completed.
Is My Information Secure?
Yes. Your information is securely handled through Stripe’s encrypted system, which follows industry-standard security and compliance practices. Maroo does not store sensitive data in an unsafe manner.
What Happens After I Enter My SSN?
Once submitted:
Your information will be reviewed and verified
You may gain full access to payment features
Any restrictions on payouts may be lifted
In some cases, additional information may be requested if further verification is needed.
