This identity confirmation is necessary to prevent fraudulent fundraising. By following KYC, U.S. banks can safely create a secure, temporary bank account (also known as a Merchant Account) so that you or your organization can clearly and easily track, monitor, and control your donations straight from the source.<\/p>\n<p>That was a lot of information.
