Right, because Dwolla pays out to US dollars.
But this is how they word it for general use:
----------
Account Verification
To prevent your account from being locked, please provide complete, correct information.
In order to be upgraded to a verified account, we need a proof of residence document. This is usually either a Utility Bill, or a Tax Return.
Please scan a copy of your residence proof and upload it on this page. Note that:
It cannot be an envelope or a bank statement.
It cannot be edited or censored in any way.
It must be either in JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png) or PDF (.pdf) format.
It must have been issued within the last 6 months.
----------
They want a 300dpi government ID scan and a current proof of residence document, tax statement or utility bill.
Who else does this? Oh yea, Paxum and a few other large money services / card companies. The banks they deal with demand it.
This isn't for keeping your account from being locked. This info is going right to the bank, no matter what they are telling their customers.
