Is it necessary to give my social security number to sign up?Updated 10 days ago
A social security number is Paypal's and Ascend (Pepperjam)'s requirement in order to apply. We do not hold onto or store any personal information. This is required for IRS reporting purposes and the data is only shared and securely stored by PayPal and Ascend.
You can use a business EIN or personal tax ID in place of a social security number.
