How to connect a test bank
Plaid is the service that supplies bank transactions. Sandbox is its testing environment: all accounts and payments here are simulated.
- Click Connect Sandbox at the top of the page.
- If asked for a phone number, skip that step if offered. Otherwise use
415-555-0136and verification code123456. No text message will arrive. - Search for First Platypus Bank. For a transaction-focused test account, use username
user_transactions_dynamicand passwordpass_good. Select a checking account. - Return here and press Refresh if history is still loading.
Test banks can return no transactions, no paychecks, or only a short history. A successful connection does not guarantee income data. Sample data includes regular paychecks so you can explore every view.
Use test details only. This version cannot connect your real bank. Plaid test-account documentation ↗
