Mothership has partnered with major banks to securely connect and authenticate your bank account in seconds.

Adding a bank account ensures zero transaction fees and prevents hitting credit card limits for more costly shipments.

We partner with the following banks for easy billing:

Mothership protects all bank account transactions through Plaid. Plaid makes setting up bank payments faster, easier and more secure. Users enter their online credentials and Plaid instantly authenticates their account. Plus in the US, Plaid works with any ACH processor (including Stripe and Dwolla) to simplify bank-to-bank payments.

Don't see your bank listed or do not have access to your banking credentials when signing up for ACH? Mothership allows you now to verify micro-deposits.
