Security
Your bank access, handled with care
Pikt is built around a simple promise: we help you earn more without ever being able to touch your money. During the early demo, connections are read-only and routing is simulated until the live Pikt card ships.
Read-only by design
Pikt connects to your accounts through Plaid in read-only mode. We can see balances and rewards to route smartly — we cannot move, send, or withdraw your money.
Bank-grade connections via Plaid
We never see or store your bank passwords. Plaid — used by thousands of fintech apps — handles the secure connection and tokenized access.
Encrypted end to end
All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS) and sensitive tokens are encrypted at rest. Access tokens are scoped and revocable at any time.
You're in control
Disconnect a bank or delete your account at any time. When you do, we revoke the associated access tokens and remove your linked data.
Least-privilege access
Privileged operations run server-side behind authenticated APIs. Secrets never reach the browser or mobile app.
No surprise money movement
Today's demo recommends the best card and simulates savings — it does not initiate transfers or charges on your behalf. When live routing launches, charges will route to your linked cards under clear user consent.
What we store — and what we do not
We store
- • Tokenized card identifiers (not raw card numbers)
- • Spending category signals and merchant types used for routing decisions
- • Routing history — which card was selected, and why
- • Account preferences and notification settings
We never store
- • Bank login credentials — those stay with Plaid
- • Full card numbers, CVVs, or PINs
- • Social Security Numbers or government-issued IDs
- • Real-time account balances — we read them at routing time and do not retain them
