FAQs

Q: Why can’t I submit paystubs or W-2s?

A: Atlas requires a real-time connection to your bank to verify your activity. Documents alone don’t meet that requirement.

Q: How do I link my bank account instead?

A: You’ll link it using Plaid during sign-up. If your bank isn’t listed, check out this article on what to do if your bank doesn’t show up.

Q: Is linking my bank safe?

A: Yes. Atlas uses Plaid, a secure service trusted by thousands of financial apps.
