Does Facebook has access to my bank details?
In short, Facebook does not have access to your bank details or bank transactions. We do not share your data with Facebook.
When you sign up, your account setup (including linking your bank account) is done in a secure webview. A webview is a website embedded into Facebook Messenger and it is generated by our servers, not by Facebook. Your bank login is transmitted and encrypted from the webview to our server and is then forwarded to Yodlee, our aggregation partner, for further encryption and safe storage. We don't store your bank details.
If you have any questions regarding data and security, please feel free to get in touch our support team at help@withplum.com
