Plaid Review

Plaid is a technology platform that enables the connection between applications and users’ bank accounts for account authentication, real-time balance checks, identity verification, income validation, asset verification and more yet. Plaid’s Auth solution can be used to authenticate bank accounts for ACH payments without requiring microdeposits, allowing instant authentication of transactions. Users are added with the credential-based flow and account holder information can be retrieved to authorize transactions at any time once a user has been added. The Transactions solution extracts transaction data from the past 24 months, including geolocation, category and merchant information. You can access both pending and completed transactions. Plaid’s Assets solution allows the verification of the borrower’s assets from bank records and generates reports in JSON and PDF formats.
