We couldn't have built this without Plaid- who is our provider to securely connect to Bank Account information when sending checks.

1. Consumers can verify their financial accounts. We do something unique when we bring this verified data to the consumer's phones, in addition to end-to-end encryption, we strip out the personal data and encrypt and store it separately on the consumer's mobile phones from their financial data! Data is not stored on servers, not even ours! 2. We also use Plaid to verify identity to combat fraud - however, we don't store or share this data (i.e., your license or passport) with financial institutions other than letting them know we checked identity.
