Securely connect to your bank in minutes
Use the Plaid integration to securely link your bank and credit card accounts to Traction Ag in a few clicks.
So what is Plaid?
Plaid is a secure tool that helps you connect your bank to your Traction Ag account without sharing your login directly. Imagine Plaid as a sturdy bridge. With your consent, it will grab your cleared bank transactions and bring them over to Traction. It will never store your credentials or move your money.
Why farmers think it’s worth it
500+ Traction customers use this integration. Once connected, you can let Plaid do the heavy lifting so you get back to running your business.
Automatic sync = less data entry
Once your bank and credit cards are connected, transactions will flow into Traction when they clear the bank.
Fewer errors = happier accountants
Calculates profitability on a per-acre basis, updated live as expenses and yields change. So farmers always know where they stand.
Real-time clarity = better decisions
Automatically assigns equipment costs—fuel, depreciation, maintenance—to jobs or fields for accurate reporting.
