Why do you need my Social Security number and other personal information?

To help the federal government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA PATRIOT Act requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for personal information in order for us to verify your identity and the identity of any person that you may wish to designate as a Secondary Cardholder, including name, address, date of birth, and government ID number, and we may also ask to see other identifying information. Additionally, we may require identifying information regarding any person that you may wish to designate as a myFlocTeam Member.
