We start by verifying customers before they<br \/>\nopen an account and continue monitoring hundreds of data points in real time as customers use our products, with teams reviewing transactions,<br \/>\noffboarding customers when needed, and proactively reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify\">We<br \/>\ntake our responsibility incredibly seriously.
