Troubleshooting
I don't see my bank on the list of available banks.
This means that your bank is not eligible for ACH transactions at this time and you will need to use another deposit/withdraw method, such as wire transfer:
Wire transfer: If you have not made any wire transactions previously and you are looking to deposit via wire transfer, the instructions can be found here. If you have not made any wire transactions previously and you are looking to withdraw via wire transfer, you will need to submit a fiat application.

I found my bank on the list, but it says it's not supported.
Your bank may not be supported by Plaid. It is also possible that they are supported by Plaid, but are unable to do business with cryptocurrency exchanges or services.
I am having trouble verifying my credentials though Bittrex.
- Double check that you have selected the correct bank from the list.
- Be sure to use the correct login credentials for your bank.
- Confirm that your login credentials for your bank are valid by logging into your bank's website from a secure browser.
- It is possible that your financial institution requires you to acknowledge, through your online banking account, that you are using your banking information with third party apps.
