a company who actually care about privacy
I grilled the Edward pretty hard about data retention, where my ID details go after verification, what they store on their servers, whether my biometric data is kept. He answered every question honestly and pointed me to their privacy docs without being defensive (their privacy policy is quite reasonable). They don't store PII themselves and the identity check is done by a third party (sumsub). The $100 min. deposit threw me off but when he explained it was to keep out fraudsters and maintain quality, it actually gave me a little more confidence. The fact the founder is manning the live chat at 10pm answering questions tells me they actually care about their customers unlike other providers.

Hi Mohamed, I recall this conversation and you definitely didn't leave any stone unturned! We spend a lot of time thinking about how we can constantly improve privacy for our users. It's not a straight-forward process given the credit card industry is effectively monopolised by 2 giant corporations. We do our absolute best to balance this so everyone can participate with best possible privacy-posture, despite the constraints. We're really grateful you also recognise that and it's a pleasure to have you onboard. -Ed
