# Identity Verification Process

At Fanable, we’ve made identity verification simple and easy so you can focus on what matters: collecting.

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a process required by financial regulations to verify your identity. It helps prevent fraud and ensures a secure platform for all users. You’ll only need to complete this process when you’re ready to withdraw your balance. Here’s how it works:

1. **Start the Process:** When you request a withdrawal, you’ll be prompted to complete identity verification.
2. **Verify Your Identity:** We’ve partnered with Stripe to securely handle all verifications. Stripe may ask you to provide the following:

* **Personal Information:** Your full name, date of birth, and address.
* **Government-Issued ID:** A valid passport, driver’s license, or national ID card.
* **Social Security Number (SSN):** Stripe will ask for the last four digits of your SSN. If verification fails, they may request the full 9 digits.
* **Proof of Address:** In some cases, you may be asked to provide a document like a utility bill or bank statement showing your current address.

3. **Quick and Secure Verification:** Stripe usually completes the process within minutes, but it may take a few hours in certain cases. Rest assured, the process is fast, secure, and compliant with all regulations.
4. **Stripe Holds Your Information:** Fanable does not store your personal data. Stripe, our trusted payment provider, securely handles and protects all information related to identity verification.
5. **Complete Your Withdrawal:** Once verified by Stripe, you’ll be able to withdraw your balance. This verification is only required once - unless regulatory changes or Stripe’s policies require you to update your information in the future.
