Here's how we keep your information safe.
Bank-Level Security
We use the same security standards as major financial institutions to protect your data.
256-bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected with bank-grade SSL encryption, the same technology used by major banks and financial institutions.
End-to-End Encryption
Your financial data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption.
Trusted Financial Connections
Read-Only Access
Skwad only requests read-only access to your financial accounts. We can see your transactions and balances, but we cannot move money, initiate transfers, or make changes to your accounts.
Secure Bank Integration
We partner with Plaid and SimpleFIN, industry-leading financial data providers trusted by thousands of financial applications. Your banking credentials are never shared with us directly.
No Account Information Storage
We don't store your online banking usernames, passwords, or security questions. This information stays securely with our trusted financial data partners.
Data Protection & Privacy
Minimal Data Collection
We only collect the information necessary to provide our expense tracking services. We don't sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising.
