Plaid isn't integrated with your financial institution. Plaid can't reliably connect to your financial institution right now. Some financial institutions may not let you connect your accounts to third-party apps. You can link your account manually.
If your bank isn't listed on Plaid, that is no problem. You can connect by entering in your account and routing number by choosing the manual connection option right underneath the Plaid option. Connecting manually requires micro deposit identify verification.

Can you bypass Plaid?

Plaid is a booming platform with more than one million dollars worldwide. Thanks to its level of trust and security in the market, it serves to connect with applications such as Cash App or Peer to Peer (P2P). Plaid is aligned with over 3,000 banks, credit unions, and other financial services.

You can often use your routing and account numbers to pay for things online or to send money to other people through various digital payment services. You can also use them to sign up for direct deposit through many employers or through other institutions that pay out money like the Social Security Administration.
It is straightforward to transfer money with your routing and account number, and the process will generally be as follows: You must be logged into your online account. Go to the money transfer section. Enter the recipient's details, including routing and account number.
Call the Customer's Bank
Ask the agent what information the bank needs for verification. This is typically the customer's full name, address, and routing and account numbers as they appear on the check. The routing number, which identifies the bank, is the first set of numbers in the bottom left corner of the check.
Plaid uses the highest levels of security possible to keep your information safe. When you link your checking account with a financial application through Plaid, the company instantly encrypts sensitive data and shares it with the application using a secure connection.
But considering that the company has not been hacked and no data have been leaked, I'd have to say that… Yes, plaid is safe… so far. I have to point out though that the company has recently faced a lawsuit over the alleged collection of more information than what was needed.
