Safe for your ID
May 14, 2025

So far it seems to be safe to use. The person was polite and professional. Although after uploading my IDs I had to speak to someone so they could verify. It made the process seem more secure and safe to use. Thank you so much for that.

If ZERO stars were possible!
May 14, 2025

The entire process was incredibly frustrating and poorly handled. From start to finish, it was a mess—my documents weren't accepted, and I couldn't verify my identity even with a valid passport and social security number. The "fraud prevention" measures are excessive, unreasonable, and frankly terrible. What bank includes social security numbers on a bank statements?— expecting that is absurd. On top of everything, the website's functional design was an absolute nightmare. I had to jump through endless, malfunctioning hoops—switching between browsers, opening tabs that often didn't even load, and constantly bouncing between my phone and computer just to get basic tasks done. It was chaotic, broken, and completely user-hostile.
