Does Earnnest store homebuyers' banking information?

No, Earnnest does not see or store banking information.

We partner with Plaid, a financial services company that grants us one-time, tokenized access to a homebuyer's bank. Earnnest does not see or store banking credentials—ever.

Plaid is owned by Visa and is used by companies like Venmo, Coinbase and Fannie Mae. You can read more about Plaid security here.
