How do I collect financial records?

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

Hearsay uses Plaid - a secure service used by thousands of apps - to connect directly to your bank with industry-standard encryption. Your bank username and password are never shared with Hearsay.

Step 1: Click "Connect Bank Account"

A Plaid window opens to walk you through connecting your bank.

Note: Plaid typically provides up to 2 years of history. If you need records going further back, you’ll need to download PDF statements directly from your bank.
