Your Slash account is, first and foremost, a bank account. With the help of our identity verification partner, we cross-reference the information you provide us, along with your SSN and identification, with national databases to verify its validity.Think of it this way, legalities aside, if we didn’t verify the identity of all Slash users, our private community would be overrun with those looking to exploit legitimate Slash users. We are committed to providing a safe, secure product and community to best support you in your financial goals.
