Plaid is a secure technology platform that Invitation Homes uses to help eligible applicants verify income electronically during the application process.

Invitation Homes uses Plaid because it helps eligible applicants complete income verification faster and may reduce the need to gather and upload documents manually.

You should use Plaid because it is typically the fastest way to complete income verification when available. Many applicants can verify income in as little as 2 hours. Plaid also provides real-time updates on whether or not you’ve met the income requirements, so you don’t have to submit documents you may not need to.

No, if Plaid is not required. It is an income verification method that we recommend because it is typically the fastest option. Applicants can still complete the application process by providing supporting documents when needed.

Yes, when you use Plaid, your information is secure. Plaid uses secure technology and encryption to help verify income electronically.

For households with multiple applicants, income for each applicant may be reviewed during the qualification review. As each applicant completes the application process, the system evaluates how much qualifying income is still needed to meet the household income requirement.

Yes, income from multiple applicants may be combined and considered during the qualification review. Once the household income requirement has been met, additional income verification may not be required for other applicants.

If you don't meet the income requirement on your own, income from all applicants may be considered during the qualification review. If additional qualifying income is needed to meet the household income requirement, subsequent applicants may be asked to verify income as part of their application.

If you were asked to verify less income than another applicant, subsequent applicants may only be asked to verify the additional income needed to satisfy the household income requirement. For households with multiple applicants, income requirements may vary by applicant.

If you are being asked to provide income information after your co-applicant has already verified their income, additional income may be needed to meet the household income requirement. You may be asked to verify only the amount needed to satisfy the remaining requirement.

You weren't asked to verify all of your income because you may only be asked to verify the amount of income needed to satisfy the household income requirement. Once the requirement has been met, additional income verification may not be required.

No, you cannot connect both your bank account and payroll provider details to Plaid. You can change your mind and select a different option, but the results will override your previous selection. If you connect to a bank account and then select to go through Payroll, your bank account details will be removed from your profile.

You will know how much income you need to verify by reviewing the amount displayed on your application. If you are applying with multiple people, your verification amount may be based on the information already provided by other applicants in the household.

After you verify your income through Plaid or by uploading supporting documents, that information will remain valid for 30 days. During that period, if you choose to start a new application, you will not need to complete the income verification process again unless additional income needs to be submitted to meet qualification requirements. After 30 days, your income information will no longer be displayed in the application.

You may not be asked to verify your income if the household income requirement has already been met by 1 or more applicants. Additional applicants may not be required to provide income verification.

You are being asked to upload documents because you may need to provide additional supporting documentation to complete your income verification.

If Plaid doesn't show all your income, additional income information or supporting documentation may be provided.

No, using Plaid does not improve your chances of approval. All applicants are evaluated using the same qualification requirements. Plaid simply helps verify income faster.
