At Public, we use the nation's largest bank connection provider, Plaid. While we are officially connected with all major banks and most other financial institutions, if your personal bank is not listed, it’s likely to be added in the near future.
In the meantime, there are other ways to fund your Public account, and they are generally painless. See below:
