Is this legitimate? All of a sudden Apple is asking me to put in my personal info (including name, address, Social Security number, etc) in order to transfer money to my bank account. I have never had to do this before, and just want to make sure this is legitimate before I fill out such personal information.

It’s required of all Apple Cash customers as some point. Usually requested when you approach $500 in total cumulative transfers and transactions. It may be required earlier for various reasons.
Is Apple's request for personal info to transfer money legitimate?
