# Understanding the eFund Application.

The information requested in this application, including your organization’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), is required by our payment processor as part of their Know Your Customer (KYC) protocol. KYC is a standard verification process used throughout the financial industry to confirm the identity of new users before they can begin accepting payments.

Completing this step helps protect your organization and your donors by guarding against fraud and ensuring contributions are directed to the correct, legitimate account. Your information is used solely for verification and payment processing purposes. For more information regarding why we need your Employee Identification Number (EIN), see our [( EIN) knowledge base article](https://help.efundraisingconnections.com/how-do-i-located-and-add-my-ein-number?hsLang=en).

If you have any questions, please [contact our support team](https://www.efundraisingconnections.com/contact/).
