What is Plaid, and why do they need my bank login?

Plaid is a progressive processor that has implemented a new and better way to facilitate ACH transfers. This is the system we use to allow you to deposit Giving Funds from any one of thousands of banks across the United States. Plaid partners with your bank to let you log in to your account to initiate transfers, so your information remains secure. Neither Plaid, Pinkaloo, or the charity you donate to has your bank account number.
