Is My Bank Information Secure After Syncing?
Understand how Moneko protects your bank data, what Plaid handles, and how your information is used after you connect an account.
Is My Bank Information Secure After Syncing?
Yes. Connecting your bank account to Moneko is designed to be secure and private. We partner with Plaid, a leading financial data provider used by thousands of apps and financial institutions, to handle the connection between Moneko and your bank.
What Plaid Does
Plaid creates a secure, read-only connection between your bank and Moneko. When you connect an account:
- You enter your bank credentials directly into Plaid's secure login screen.
- Plaid verifies your identity with your bank.
- Plaid sends encrypted transaction and balance data to Moneko.
What Moneko Does Not Store
Moneko never stores your bank username or password. Those credentials are handled entirely by Plaid and your bank. We only receive the transaction and balance information needed to update your Moneko wallets and insights.
How Moneko Protects Your Data
- Encrypted storage: Synced bank data is stored securely on Moneko's servers.
- Read-only access: The connection is read-only, meaning Moneko cannot move money or make changes to your bank account.
- Limited use: Your data is used only to provide Moneko features, such as wallet balances, spending tracking, and financial insights.
- No data selling: Moneko does not sell your bank data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
You Stay in Control
You can disconnect a linked bank account at any time from the app settings. If you choose to disconnect, Moneko will stop receiving new transactions from that account. You can also manage or revoke Plaid connections through your Plaid portal at any time.
What If I Have More Questions?
If you have any concerns about security or privacy, you can contact our support team at [email protected].
