Is Plaid safe to use?

When you connect your bank account in the StretchDollar Benefits Portal, you go through Plaid, a third-party service used by many banks, fintech apps, and payroll platforms to securely link bank accounts.

How it works

• Plaid uses bank-level encryption to connect your account -- StretchDollar never sees or stores your online banking username or password.
• Plaid is used by thousands of financial apps to verify accounts and enable transfers, not just StretchDollar.

If you'd like more detail on how Plaid handles your data, you can review Plaid's own security and privacy information directly at plaid.com.

If your bank isn't listed during setup, see My bank isn't listed. What do I do? for how to link it manually instead.
