Plain language — written for someone who wants to understand what's happening with their data, not wade through legal text. If you have questions after reading this, email us at hello@scionhome.com.
When you connect your bank, you log in directly through Plaid — a separate, dedicated service whose only job is to securely connect financial apps to banks. ScionHome never sees your username, password, or one-time codes. They go from you directly to Plaid, and Plaid handles everything from there.
Plaid is trusted by Venmo, Robinhood, Betterment, and thousands of other apps. It's the industry standard for this kind of connection.
You can revoke ScionHome's access to your bank at any time — directly through Plaid at my.plaid.com, without going through us at all.
ScionHome has read-only access. That means we can see your transactions to find home-related bills — things like your insurance payment, cable bill, or HOA fee.
We cannot move money, make payments, or change anything in your account. This is a hard technical limit enforced by Plaid — read-only access tokens are all we ever receive.
We read every email.
