What is KYC?
KYC stands for Know Your Customer.
It’s a standard identity verification process used by financial platforms to comply with regulations and keep your account secure.
Why Sequence Requires KYC
KYC is required in Sequence for any feature that actually moves or holds your money.
That includes:
Income Sources – These function like checking accounts and receive your funds
Pods – These hold and distribute your money based on rules
Transfers – Moving money between any accounts through Sequence
Because Sequence is more than just a budgeting tool, KYC is how we ensure you, and only you, can control your funds.
What You’ll Need
To complete KYC, you may be asked to provide:
A valid, signed government-issued photo ID
A U.S. address (not a PO Box)
A mobile phone with a major U.S. carrier
A Social Security number
To be at least 18 years old
We partner with regulated providers to handle this process securely and quickly.
