Your bank credentials never touch our servers

When you connect an account, you log in through Plaid's secure portal, not Zaqat. We only receive read-only balance data to calculate your zakat. Your financial data is sensitive, especially when it involves a religious obligation. Here's how we keep it safe.

Encryption

Your data is protected with the same encryption standards trusted by leading banks and financial institutions. Every piece of information is encrypted both when it's stored and while it's being transmitted, ensuring it's never exposed at any point in the process.

Access Controls

Your data is yours alone. Our systems are designed so that only you can access your information, with no exceptions. For sensitive actions, we require additional verification through multi-factor authentication to keep your account secure at all times.

Your Data, Your Control

You're always in control. Disconnect bank connections, remove data, or delete your entire account whenever you choose. When you remove something, it's gone for good. We never sell, share, or monetize your financial information. It's used solely to calculate your zakat obligation.
