Why does Donut need to verify my identity?

As a financial service, by law under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, we are required to develop a Customer Identification Program (CIP) that implements reasonable procedures to collect identifying information about customers opening an account and verify that the customers are who they say they are. Verifying each investor helps us do this at the highest of standards. As a FinCEN registered organization we are committed to doing our part in safeguarding the financial system from illicit use.
