As our company deals with money, we believe that security finance protection is the cornerstone of any financial app and ensure that our solution meets high industry standards of interacting with financial and private data. We would protect your financial information in any case. Have you lost your device? No worries - we still can defend your data.
Trusted
More and more people trust their “financial health” to PocketGuard. The number of satisfied clients means that this is a trusted budgeting app with millions of transactions.
Protected
PocketGuard pulls in transactions from the trusted data aggregation providers, Finicity (MasterCard company) and Plaid.
Dedicated
Our financial application uses PIN codes and biometrics as an additional security layer. It means that even if your gadget is lost/stolen, we will still have access to it, being able to defend your information.
Finances are all about security, and vice versa. Our team applies the time-tested data protection measures to guarantee safety for each client. For instance, we are using 256-bit SSL encryption.
We safeguard PocketGuard with your own 4-digit code so that only you can view your account. That means you can keep the app active without logging out. You can also enable Touch ID if you want. The best thing is that your data is safeguarded even in force majeure situations (when you cannot access your device for any reason). Our tool allows erasing your info distantly.
To display your account details, PocketGuard needs to view the transactions on your financial statements. We use Finicity to encrypt your login credentials. That is a well-known MasterCard company. With its help, our data aggregation partner establishes a secure connection with your card issuer. Some financial institutions even send a multi-factor authentication (MFA), such as a password or code, so that they can verify a real person. All of that makes any bank connection protected and secured.
For improved safety, we purposefully do not store any of your credit/debit card account credentials.
Once your credentials are confirmed, do not expect us to fully control your data. In fact, PocketGuard is granted "read-only" access to your transaction history. It means that PocketGuard can only see descriptions and amounts of your purchases. We cannot move money to or out of your accounts, nor can we change any aspect of your accounts.
Use PocketGuard personal finance security measures to guard your money. They include a powerful PIN code and password combination. In other words, no third party will ever access your private info, no matter where your phone is.
Sure! Feel free to start using our smart financial solution by creating your cash account manually. We won’t ask for bank credentials at that stage. You can connect bank accounts anytime later and open more automated features such as anti-fraud detection, financial data in real-time, and more
