How do I collect financial records?

Connect your bank account through Plaid in the Upload Portal to share financial records.

The Bank Records step in the Upload Portal uses Plaid to connect securely to your bank. Your bank username and password are never shared with Hearsay. Plaid typically provides up to two years of transaction history. If you need records going further back, download PDF statements directly from your bank and upload them in the Files step.
