RecruitiFi processes payments through Chase and Stripe, which are PCI Level 1 Service Providersβ€”the highest international security standard for financial transactions. Due to the large sums of money involved in recruiting fees, these providers must comply with Federal regulations, including:

  • Know Your Customer (KYC)

  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

  • Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT)

To meet these requirements, Chase and Stripe must verify the personal identity of a corporate representative through a Social Security Number (SSN) or a valid government-issued ID.

What if My Company Has an EIN?

Even if your company has an Employer Identification Number (EIN), one individual must still provide an SSN or ID for verification. This is not a RecruitiFi policy, but a Federal compliance requirement for online financial transactions.

Who Should Provide This Information?

  • Any authorized representative who can take action on behalf of your company.

  • Typically, individual recruiters, a manager, or a billing/finance team member.
