I am considering starting trading, but I am concerned about providing sensitive information. Specifically, I want to know if trading requires me to disclose my Social Security Number (SSN). Does trading require SSN?

This TIN is typically a Social Security number (SSN) for citizens and permanent residents.

Non-U.S. citizens can use a valid passport number as a substitute for an SSN.
