SECURITY AT SKWAD

Last Updated: August 31, 2025

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.

Data Anonymization

When we analyze spending patterns for insights, all data is anonymized and aggregated. Your individual spending habits are never shared or identifiable.

Right to Delete

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting [email protected].
