# Personal Information for Bank Account Connection
All Storefronts involved with the processing, transmission, or storage of card data must comply with the [Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)](https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/about_us/).
The **payment processor we use at Checklick is Stripe**. Stripe is a certified [PCI Level 1 Service Provider](https://stripe.com/docs/security). This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. At Checklick, we recognize the importance of secure payment processing and this is one of the main reasons we elected to integrate with Stripe.
In order for Stripe **to maintain these standards, they require various information from anyone creating a Stripe account**. That may require a government-issued photo ID and/or SIN or Social Security Number. **Stripe is required by law** to complete what's called a KYC ([Know Your Customer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_your_customer)) survey for every business that signs up with them, regardless of how many transactions they've processed. This involves completing in-depth reviews of every single business, including what's being sold, the intent of how it's to be sold, a description of the products and services, the website, and identity verification for the person who chooses to be the owner, administrator, and representative of the Stripe account.

When setting up your bank account connection, please refer to [these requirements](https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-updates/standard-accounts-guide#verification-requirements) to verify what information you'll need.
As per Stripe's privacy and security, personal information is only used to complete the KYC. You can **read more about their security and privacy in the links below**:
