Why an SSN is required
USD withdrawals in Sling Money are available in two ways:
To a USD debit card
To a U.S. bank account, if you have a Social Security Number (SSN)
A Social Security Number is a unique identification number issued by the U.S. government to identify residents for legal and financial purposes.
To comply with U.S. banking regulations, Sling Money and its partners are required to collect and verify SSNs for users who wish to withdraw to a bank account.
This helps ensure that all transfers meet legal and security standards.
If you don’t have an SSN
If you don’t have an SSN, or prefer not to share it, you can still withdraw directly to your debit card. The app will show you this option automatically when you select your payment method.
