Why you'll be asked for your personal data


Apple Cash services are provided by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, a regulated financial institution. Green Dot Bank is required by federal law to verify the identity of its customers.


To verify your identity, Green Dot Bank will request Social Security numbers and other personal information to ensure that customers are eligible to use the service.
