What's Required to Complete the Application
Federal law requires that all financial institutions verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
The following information is required to activate your Vagaro merchant account:
- Full legal name
- Social Security number (SSN) or Employee Identification number (EIN)
- US-based bank account
- Date of birth: Current credit card regulations require our customers to be 18 years of age or older to create a merchant account.
- US home mailing address
- Your bank account
Social Security Number Requirement
We are required by banking industry regulations and federal law to ask for the Social Security number, date of birth, and full name for all our merchant account holders. There is no way to create a merchant account without this information.
Even if you plan to use our merchant services as a business or organization, in order to create an account you must provide your individual name, mailing address, date of birth, and a valid SSN or EIN.
Choose a Business Type
When signing up, you have to classify how you’ll use our merchant services by selecting your business type. Vagaro will use this information to provide you with the best features to help you grow your business.
If you’ve already set your business type and would like to change it, send a request to support@vagaro.com.
