Plaid API

Secure access to your financial data

Flatly connects to almost 10,000 financial institutions in the US and Canada via Plaid's secure integration.

Authorization.
Plaid's OAuth flow walks you through connecting to your financial institution. The process takes about a minute and never exposes your credentials to Flatly.
Read-only scopes.
Flatly's access is limited to account data — words, numbers, and dates. It does not include money-movement, transfer capabilities, or account holder profiles or identities.
Combined data sets.
Pre-blended data sets combine related data automatically, giving you more useful data for analytics with less manual joining work.

FAQ: Plaid

Is it safe to connect my bank account through Plaid?

Plaid is one of the most widely used financial data networks in the US — it's the same infrastructure behind apps like Venmo, Robinhood, and Mint. Your banking credentials go directly to Plaid, never to Flatly. Flatly only ever receives read-only account data (numbers, dates, transaction text) — it has no ability to move money or access your identity.

Will Flatly be able to see my passwords or log into my bank?

No. You authenticate through Plaid's own secure interface, and Plaid alone communicates with your bank. Flatly receives only a limited, scoped data feed from Plaid — not your credentials or any direct bank access.

Can Flatly move money or make transactions on my behalf?

No. Flatly's access is strictly read-only. It cannot initiate transfers, payments, or any account actions whatsoever.

If I connect multiple bank accounts through Plaid, do they all appear in one file?

It depends on the file format you use. For example with Google Sheets, many datasets can be combined as tabs.

Can I choose a date range for transactions, or does it always pull everything?

You have options. Either Alltime or the "Last X Days" option which is date-rangeable, so you're not forced to pull your full account history on every sync.

Is Plaid available for my bank? What if I'm outside the US?

Flatly's Plaid integration covers 10,000+ financial institutions in the US and Canada. Banks outside those two countries are not currently supported through this integration.

What happens to my Plaid connection if I cancel Flatly?

Connections are automatically revoked if you cancel and stop using Flatly.

FAQ: Plaid to Amazon S3

How frequently can I sync data from Plaid to Amazon S3?
Flatly allows you to set custom sync frequencies ranging from every 10 minutes to once daily, depending on your Flatly pricing plan.
Does Flatly modify my Plaid data during the sync?
No. Flatly provides a strict one-way sync. It extracts your historical and dynamic data from Plaid and securely loads it into Amazon S3 without altering your original source data.
Do I need to write code to connect Plaid to Amazon S3?
No code is required. Flatly is a turnkey, no-code integration platform designed for non-technical users to securely connect their data sources and destinations in minutes.

“The interface is unbelievable. Flatly is so easy to use. After years of struggling with Zapier this is life changing.”
