Wise asked for SS # and ID copy ?

[The Theory]

Wise asked for my ID and SS # (Americans). 
I'm in CA at this moment, not sure why they asked me now !!! Or my correct location caused this 🤔 I was about to transfer 1k only to my account in Thailand. 
Have been asked for SS # recently ?

Yes, they wanted KYC from me a couple months ago.  And reports of them doing it with others.

It takes time to reach every American sender. I submitted when I opened a Wise account.
