Understanding Stripe and Plaid on 1Roof: How We Keep Your Financial Data Safe

When you engage with the 1Roof platform—whether you're renting tools via Rentifi, sharing books on BookiFi, or earning Holara tokens—you might encounter prompts to connect your bank account or provide payment details. These processes are facilitated through our integrations with Plaid and Stripe, two industry-leading financial technology services. This article aims to clarify their roles, how they operate within our platform, and the measures in place to ensure your data's security.

What Is Plaid?

Plaid is a financial technology company that acts as a secure intermediary between your bank account and applications like 1Roof. It enables you to connect your financial accounts to the platform without sharing your actual login credentials with us. Plaid uses encrypted APIs to facilitate this connection, ensuring that only the necessary data is shared, and you retain control over your financial information.

What Is Stripe?

Stripe is a comprehensive payment processing platform that handles transactions on 1Roof. When you receive payments for rentals, services, or Holara token earnings, Stripe manages the secure transfer of funds to your bank account. It also assists in verifying your identity for tax purposes and ensures compliance with financial regulations.

How 1Roof Utilizes Plaid and Stripe

At 1Roof, we integrate Plaid and Stripe to streamline your financial interactions:

  • Plaid: Facilitates the secure connection between your bank account and 1Roof, allowing for seamless transactions and account verification without exposing your sensitive login information.

  • Stripe: Processes payments, manages payouts, and handles tax documentation, ensuring that you receive funds promptly and securely.
    ​

This integration allows us to provide a unified wallet experience across all 1Roof marketplaces, enhancing your ability to earn, spend, and manage Holara tokens efficiently.

Security Measures in Place

Both Plaid and Stripe employ robust security protocols to protect your financial data:

  • Plaid:

    • Utilizes Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data during transmission.

    • Implements multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security.

    • Provides a user portal where you can manage and revoke access to your financial data at any time.

  • Stripe:

    • Is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider, the highest level of certification in the payment industry.

    • Employs tokenization to replace sensitive card information with a unique identifier, reducing the risk of data breaches.

    • Offers real-time fraud detection and prevention tools to monitor transactions continuously.
