BusyKid uses Stripe and Plaid to connect to your credit/debit card or bank account. These third-party providers have become the main players in the financial services industry and have earned a solid reputation for the highest levels of security and customer service.
We prefer you connect a checking account over any card to stay away from the standard card fee on each transaction (2.9% + $.30 of the transaction value). Savings accounts should not be used since your bank will have a limit on the number of transactions each month.
