Trouble linking my bank account

Plaid help

Updated over a week ago

Atlas uses Plaid, a secure tool, to connect your bank account. If you’re running into issues, here’s what to know.

What to know

  • You can link up to 2 bank accounts

  • Payroll users (with at least one payroll deposit) can link up to 4

Keep in mind: Bank accounts must be in your name. Linking an account under someone else’s name can result in restrictions.

Common issues and fixes

Can’t find your bank?

If your bank isn’t listed in Plaid, it’s not supported yet—so you won’t be able to link it for now.

Getting an error while linking?

  • Double-check your login details on your bank’s website

  • Try again in a few minutes

  • Still stuck? Contact Support—we can help remove the bank so you can try again

Note: Because Plaid is a third-party service, there may be limits to what we can fix on our end.
