Our Security Commitment

Your financial data is sensitive. We treat it that way. Here's how OneBudget protects your information.

Encryption Everywhere

Data in Transit

All data sent between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3—the same standard used by banks. This means:

  • No one can intercept your data in transit
  • Your information is scrambled during transmission
  • Even we can't read it while it's being sent

Data at Rest

Your data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256:

  • Industry-standard encryption
  • Would take billions of years to crack
  • Used by governments and financial institutions

Bank Credentials

We never see or store your bank login credentials.

When you connect your bank:

  1. You enter credentials directly with Plaid
  2. Plaid authenticates with your bank
  3. Plaid creates a secure token
  4. Only the token is shared with OneBudget
  5. The token can only read data—never move money
