Is Plaid Secure?

What is Plaid?

Plaid is our bank network provider. We use Plaid's network of over 11,000 instantly verifiable banking institutions to allow you to search for your bank, log into your online banking through our bank portal, and then link your account in moments.

How Plaid handles user's data

Once you give Plaid permission to share your financial data, they securely transfer it from your financial institution to the app through their application programming interface using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). The only information that Earnnest receives is a encrypted token that we use to create your payment.  Read Plaid's privacy policy here.

When you connect with Plaid, you have control over who you’re sharing your data with. To manage the connections between your financial institutions and your apps, or to delete your data from Plaid’s systems, visit my.plaid.com.
