Why does Kikoff need my social security number when signing up?

We verify your identity by matching your social security number to your credit bureau records, so we know we’re updating the correct person’s file. 


We know that your privacy is important, which is why we make it a priority to always use bank-level security to keep you and your data safe. You can see more on our privacy policy here


A social security number is one of the secure ways to verify your identity and ensure we’ll be doing credit reporting for the correct person, therefore it is required for all accounts. We can’t accept ITIN or EIN at this time.
