FAQPage Schema
How do I verify bank account ownership with Plaid Auth?

Plaid Auth verifies bank account ownership by exchanging a public token for an access token after users authenticate through Link, then retrieving verified account numbers and routing numbers for ACH transfers while enforcing PCI compliance and secure token management.

What's the process for initializing Plaid Link and exchanging tokens?

Initialize Link with a link token from Plaid's API, guide users through authentication, then exchange the returned public_token for an access_token to retrieve verified account data, routing numbers, and balance information.

How do I handle Plaid Auth webhooks and token security?

Implement webhook listeners to receive auth events, store access tokens with encryption, validate webhook signatures, and follow token rotation practices to maintain PCI compliance and secure sensitive account information throughout the lifecycle.

Can I integrate identity verification and KYC checks with Plaid Auth?

Yes, Plaid Auth supports identity and KYC integrations alongside account verification, enabling combined ownership verification and customer identity validation within a single authenticated flow for compliance-heavy ACH payment use cases.

What error handling and compliance considerations apply to ACH payments with verified accounts?

Error handling must cover token exchange failures, account lookup errors, and webhook delivery issues; compliance requires NACHA guideline adherence, PCI DSS controls, encrypted storage of account data, and audit trails for verified transactions.
