Why do I need to provide my Social Security number again when I open a Credit Karma Money Spend or Save account*?

SOLVEDBy Credit KarmaUpdated June 13, 2023

In order to confirm your identity, you will need to confirm your full Social Security Number to open a Credit Karma Money Spend or Save account. 

Your full SSN is required to be collected under the Customer Identification Program (CIP) of the USA PATRIOT Act when opening a new savings account. We will not use your SSN to perform a hard credit inquiry and providing this information when opening a Credit Karma Money Spend or Save account will not impact your credit scores. 

*Banking services provided by MVB Bank, Inc., Member FDIC. Maximum balance and transfer limits apply. Maximum 6 withdrawals per monthly statement cycle.
