Two days of frustration
February 13, 2024

First day ended up calling helpline after having trouble he put me on hold and would get right back to me. I waited 20 minutes and he never even verified he was there. Tried second day and used passport card. Should have used passport. There was nothing available to take photo of backside. Being a first time user I was very disappointed but at least I was able to submit this and now I'll wait 2 or 3 days for my final verification.

Time consuming..
February 13, 2024

When I got the notification that I had to verify my identity. My phone was off so when I was at work I couldn't work on it until I got home to use my wifi so it took me 4 or 5 days to get it done. Like I said time consuming.

The selfie option is an elaborate way to tell you that your phone sucks. The video call option tells you not to step away for the next 20 minutes while you wait, and then it keeps you waiting for over 3 hours.

Frustrated
February 13, 2024

I have to keep logging in and obtaining a code when clicking on different tabs within the site. It seems to me that once logged in, one shouldn't have to re-log in.

So easy even I could do it!
February 5, 2024

I usually struggle with technology but account setup, multi-factor authentication, document upload, and video selfie for identity verification were all so intuitive that I was able to do everything on the first try!

Process could have been easier
February 5, 2024

Once they tell you what to do next it's easier. Everything is they, but your on your own. If you miss something, you'll get an email to come back and complete it.
