How Do I Verify My Account?

Updated over 3 months ago

Why Verification Is Required

We request verification to:

  • Reduce fraud

  • Create a secure space for users

  • Ensure everyone is who they claim to be

We partner with Stripe for identity verification. Stripe uses computer vision to create biometric identifiers of your face from the provided selfies and the picture on your photo ID.


You can still use your account without verification, but you must verify your identity before setting up online payments or applying for jobs.
