Why is Stash asking me for photo ID?

We take your privacy very seriously—when you open an account with us, we want to make sure it’s really you to protect against things like identity theft. So, if we ask you for a photo of your government-issued identification, don’t worry. We’re just making sure we’re opening an account for the right person.
