All the account numbers, balances, deposits, and withdrawals are being transferred through encrypted tokens. Your actual account data remains safe and secure.

Yes, there are a number of reasons why we trust Plaid with our financial operations.

When you use Plaid to connect a bank account to an app, it keeps your data safe and private with best-in-class encryption protocols like the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES 256) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).

To help ensure a secure account connection, Plaid built its own multi-factor authentication (MFA) in case your financial institution doesn’t offer one. With Plaid’s MFA as a backup, almost all logins feature this extra security step.

Plaid uses modern cloud technologies to host the Plaid API. By using cloud infrastructure, they’re able to leverage years of safety enhancements to better protect data.

Robust safety monitoring, automated alerts, and a 24/7 on-call team help Plaid quickly respond to and resolve any potential issues, so you can be confident your private information is secure.

Some of the most trusted security researchers, app developers, and financial institutions regularly audit Plaid's API and security controls. Also, their bug bounty program makes sure anyone, anywhere can help make Plaid systems safe.

Plaid shares its security practices and technologies with its partners to make sure we’re moving toward a more secure digital financial ecosystem together. The Plaid team continuously works with fintech companies and banks to push the entire industry forward.

That said, we consider Plaid as a reliable provider with continued investments in security and privacy.
