Yes, the Extra Debit Card is safe. The company offers fraud protection to ensure other people aren’t spending your money.  First, you’ll receive a notification for every purchase you make. If you’re notified about a purchase you didn’t make, simply let the company know.  Extra even handles disputes and fraud cases internally, so you’ll have an extra layer of security in case something goes wrong. You may also wonder whether it’s safe to connect your bank account to your Extra account. Extra doesn’t store your banking information. Instead, the company uses Plaid to connect to your bank account.  Plaid is the industry standard that many other companies use, so you can feel comfortable that your money is safe.
