# Is MyTruv Safe?

> Learn about the security standards and protections that keep your data safe in MyTruv.

Yes - and "just trust us" isn't an answer we'd accept either, so here's the actual proof. Connecting your bank to a finance app is a fair thing to be cautious about. The short version: MyTruv uses bank-level encryption, never sees your bank login, can only read your data (never move money), and runs the connection through technology that banks and lenders have relied on for years.

<Info>
  **Bank-level encryption. SOC 2 Type II certified. Read-only access.** Your data is encrypted with the same standard banks use, independent auditors verify our security controls, and MyTruv can view your accounts but can never move money.
