How to Handle a Failed Bank Connection
-
Navigate to the Payments page on your Tenant Dashboard.

-
Select Link Bank Account to open the Plaid connection flow. [SCREENSHOT NEEDED HERE]
-
When the bank connection fails (for example, when using Plaid error test credentials), a clear error message appears.
⚠️ Heads up: A failed connection attempt does not add a bank account to your payment methods. You must retry the connection to link an account successfully.
- Verify the page remains functional. A Try again option is available. No bank account is added to your payment methods.
What to expect
A clear error message is displayed. The page does not break or display a blank screen. A retry option is available. No bank account is added to your payment methods.
