If you don't like this, cancel your account today, right now.
I just confirmed with Dwolla support that all 4 steps are now a requirement before sending money to MtGox.
- The 30 bank transfer history I have no problem with.
- Accessing my Facebook and Social Security number is an unnecessary invasion of my privacy that I will not tolerate, and is the main reason I am cancelling my account.
- The fact that they are up-selling their new Hub Pages product is repugnant, particularly that it is a requirement before you can send money to certain people.
If you have an account and don't want to comply with their bullshit verification, contact support and ask for it to be deleted. They should feel some pain from this new policy.
I tried deleting my Dwolla account right after TradeHill went down, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I posted a question on their Facebook page asking how one goes about deleting/cancelling a Dwolla account, but it was never answered. So if I understand you correctly, you have to contact their customer support to ask for your account to be deleted? Wouldn't it automatically be disabled if you haven't used it in more than 30 days?
