FAQ

Why does Clair verify my identity with my Social Security Number?

To help the Federal Government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions and their third parties to obtain information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, Clair will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you.

Clair does not sell or share your data with external parties, and verifying your identity has no impact on your credit score.

Does Clair perform credit checks to determine eligibility?

No. Clair does not perform hard or soft credit checks. Your earned wages are calculated based on the hours you’ve worked, plus a combination of underwriting rules determined by Clair.
