Does AppleCard form ask for FULL SSN?

I was applying for getting a Apple credit card, and it say that it’s associated with a bank and then it’s asking me for my full ssn number

Its that right?

Yes, banks typically require potential customers to fully identify themselves. This includes full social security number and images of your State issued Drivers License or State ID.


Why is positive ID required?


The Patriot Act requires that lenders, banks etc obtain a confirmed ID.


“To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.”
