# KYC/ATM Verification
To verify your bank account using Plaid, you can follow these steps:
1. Click or tap the **Link on Plaid** button in the Verification section of the application.
2. A popup window for Plaid will appear, read the description, and click or tap **Continue**.
3. Select your bank from the list. If you don’t see it there, search for it at the top of the popup.
4. After you have selected your bank, you will be asked to confirm that you want to authenticate with your account.
Plaid’s Auth API product allows companies to instantly authenticate bank accounts for payments and set up ACH transfers from any bank. It uses advanced security and encryption protocols to protect your data during transmission. It never shares personal information unless it has permission to do so. During a transaction, Plaid communicates with your bank to keep your login information private.
