Why is a SSN required?

The requirement of providing a Social Security Number (SSN) when opening a bank account in the US is necessary to verify that person’s identity and ensure that they are the person they claim to be. It is a crucial step to prevent fraudulent activities and protect both the customer and the bank from potential risks. At Modak, the only required SSN is from the parent as they are they adult owner of the account.
