Hey bunqer 🌈

If you’re a U.S. person, we’re legally required to collect your Social Security Number (SSN) or a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN). This helps keep your account compliant with international tax regulations and avoids interruptions. You have 90 days from account verification to provide this information via our Support Center.

Why we ask for your SSN or CLN

To prevent fraud and tax evasion, banks share required tax information under international standards (like CRS). For U.S. persons, regulations mean we must collect either:

  • SSN and a valid acceptable identity document or

  • A Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN), if you’re no longer a U.S. citizen

Collecting this information ensures your account stays compliant and fully usable.

Who needs to provide it

You’ll be asked to provide SSN or CLN if any of the below applies:

  • You’re a U.S. citizen (including dual citizens)

  • You’re a U.S. tax resident

  • You were born in the U.S. (unless you’ve renounced U.S. citizenship and have a CLN)

If you’re unsure whether you’re considered a U.S. person, please contact our Support Center.

What to provide

Provide one of the following:

  • Your SSN

  • Your CLN (Certificate of Loss of Nationality), if you’ve renounced U.S. citizenship

Tip: For many U.S. persons, your SSN is the TIN (Tax Identification Number) used for tax reporting. If you’re looking for TIN guidance by country, see Where’s my TIN?

How to provide it

  • Open the in-app chat via our Support Center

  • Share your SSN

  • If you have a CLN, attach a clear photo or PDF of the certificate

Our team will confirm once everything is set.

When to provide it

You have 90 days after account verification to provide your SSN or CLN.

Important: If we don’t receive the information within 90 days, your account may be temporarily limited until you complete this step.

What if I’m not a U.S. person?

If you’re not a U.S. person, you don’t need to provide a SSN or CLN. You may still need to provide your TIN based on your tax residency. Learn more about TINs and tax residency here.

How we handle your data

We only collect the information required by law to verify your tax status and keep your account compliant. Your data is handled securely and used solely for regulatory purposes.
