Plynk FAQs
Who can use Plynk?
How much money do I need to start investing?
There’s no minimum required to open a brokerage account through the Plynk app, and you can start investing with as little as $1.
Please note: Fees apply to individual crypto trades.
How do I open an account in the Plynk app?
Within the Plynk app, you can open two different accounts: a brokerage account (for investing in stocks and funds) and a crypto account (for investing in cryptocurrency with Paxos).
Once you’ve downloaded the Plynk app, you’ll go through the steps of opening a brokerage account first and then a crypto account with Paxos. We’ll ask you some basic questions and verify your identity (for security purposes). You’ll then create a username and password to use to log in to your account in the future.
What information do you collect and why?
Social Security number: The Plynk app asks for your Social Security number to verify your identity and protect against fraud. As a financial company, we’re required to collect, verify and record identification information.
Phone number: The Plynk app asks for your phone number to ensure the security of your account through your mobile device. We send you a one-time passcode when you log in to your account for the first time to verify it’s you setting up the account, and also when you change your username or password.
Address: The Plynk app asks for your address to (1) verify your identity and (2) mail you a tax form.
