When collecting bank account data, it’s vital to follow security best practices. While Plaid helps to offload a lot of the compliance requirements, like securely transferring and hosting sensitive data, businesses still need to be mindful of Security Best Practices for Bank Account Linking and Payment Data.
The banks that can link through the bank account linking endpoint are controlled by Plaid. Read about their coverage here.
Bank account linking through Sila is free. However, you will need Plaid’s AUTH product to access it. Getting started with Plaid is easy. Sila works with Plaid’s entire suite of products and is tightly integrated. If you need more than AUTH, we can help advise you on your Plaid subscription. See our full ACH transfer pricing schedule.
Bank account linking takes a matter of minutes. Timelines for sending and receiving money vary. You can read about our transfer timelines in this article.
To work with SIla, your business must be incorporated in the U.S. and each of your end-users will need to pass SSN verification or EIN verification. Learn more about pre-qualification for all our API access.
A bank account linking API makes connecting to an online account, digital wallet, and the Sila API structure possible. Without being able to link a bank account, users would have no way to send or receive the money transferred.
Bank account linking requires the transferring of sensitive data, which is why Sila trusts in Plaid as a reliable partner. Plaid is good at what they do, and by allowing Plaid to manage the bank account linking data encryption process, we can focus on what we do best.
Through the Sila API, all users gain access to the core bank account linking code to securely connect with Plaid right in the app.
