The article below will help you understand Fluz' verification process and why we may require our users to upload their ID's.
Why do I need to provide my government issued ID to use Fluz?
For KYC and Account Security purposes
Fluz is currently encouraging users to complete account verification as part of our KYC. While government IDs are not required to register an account, if your account has been placed on "verification required" status (because it has been flagged by our automated security filters), you will need to complete account verification for your account to be reinstated to "pass" status.
We believe that Fluz' security measures will better protect the payment process for all cardholder, especially since users are now automatically given a $10,000 daily account spend limit.
We have automated security filters that flag accounts based on various criteria related to your account security. If flagged, your account will be placed under "verification required" (if you have not completed all the account verification steps yet) or "review " status (when you've completed the account verification already). Under both statuses, your account is not able to access past purchases or make new ones, until your account is back to "pass" or "approved" status. It will typically take only one business day to review your account. Should you need to follow up your account status, send us a chat from the mobile app.
Please take note that our KYC verification terms are constantly evolving, and Fluz reserves the right to implement KYC verification for users at any time.
For Tax Purposes
As part of the cash out policies, we will require additional information from all users that have earned $600 or more within one calendar year, so that we can generate you a 1099 for tax purposes. To learn more, check out: Do I have to pay taxes on my reward earnings?

Fluz may or may not ask you to complete all three steps. Our automated fraud filters will require these steps depending on your account security and app activity to ensure a safer experience for all our users.
