How does it work?

Plaid is an industry-leading service that allows for the instant verification and use of a bank account to make donations. We partner with Plaid to give you the ability to donate via ACH (direct debit from a bank account) without using your routing and bank account numbers.

Is it safe?

 Plaid is a secure, audited, and trusted system that has built partnerships with most major US-based financial institutions and thousands of credit unions across the country. Plaid is also a trusted provider for major financial apps and services, like Venmo, Robinhood, and Stripe. Put simply, banks are on the Plaid platform because banks trust Plaid.
