## Overview

### Key benefits of Plaid

 Plaid’s Auth solution enables the authentication of accounts for ACH without the need for microdeposits, allowing the instant authentication of transfers.&#10;&#10; The Balance solution can be used to pull both historical and real-time balance data before transfers are made, including current and available balance information, to prevent overdrafts and non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees.&#10;&#10; Bank data, including names, addresses, and phone numbers, can be used to verify user identities with the Identity solution, with the aim of reducing fraud.&#10;&#10; Historical transaction data for the past 24 months can be accessed using the Transactions solution, with contextual information including category, merchant, and geolocation data.&#10;&#10; The Assets solution can be used to verify borrower assets using financial data from borrowers’ bank accounts, and generate reports in both JSON and PDF formats.

### "Plaid review" — 2.0/5

> **Keri** | *27 August 2024* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about plaid is that it allows external banks to connect with other apps for funding purposes or transferring funds securely.
> 
> **Cons**: What I don't like about plaid,is that it's very specific on the banks it allows us to connect to 3rd party apps. Unfortunately most of the banks I have access to are not supported so it's harder for me to truly appreciate what I'm sure could be a good potential app.
> 
> My overall experience with plaid is not the greatest tbh. They have prevented me from being able to connect my accounts on multiple occasions because their network of partnering banks is minimal.

-----

### "Convenient, but not upfront with consumers" — 4.0/5

> **Leahya** | *22 December 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Plaid allows seamless transition between bank accounts and financial service products. Plaid incorporates both verification and account linking in the fastest manner possible.
> 
> **Cons**: The only issue I have with Plaid is that it does not make it clear that they store data on consumer spending. This causes disgruntled consumers, which cannot be fixed after the information has been taken.

-----

Thousands of US and Canadian financial institutions are supported, as are business and consumer bank accounts.\n\nPlaid’s Auth solution can be used to authenticate bank accounts for ACH payments without requiring microdeposits, allowing transactions to be authenticated instantly. Users are added with the credential-based flow, and account holder information can be retrieved to authorize transactions at any time once a user is added. The Balance solution can pull real-time current and available balance information as well as historic balance data, account type and status information. This solution can be used to prevent non-sufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft fees for customers by ensuring they have sufficient available balance before transactions are processed. Identity enables the verification of user identities against bank records to reduce fraud. Email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and names can be checked, and forms can be auto-filled with account holder information.\n\nThe Transactions solution pulls transaction data for the past 24 months, with context including geolocation, category, and merchant information. Both pending and completed transactions can be accessed. Plaid’s Assets solution enables the verification of borrower assets from bank records, and generates reports in JSON and PDF formats. Income can be used to validate multiple income sources and verify employment information in real time, including the previous year’s pre- and post-tax income, projected pre- and post-tax income, and number of income streams.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/a4fbdb0f-1445-4a8c-92d4-c2204a0e2da3.webp","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/113185/plaid","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/113185/plaid#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":95},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Integrated Risk Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1759/integrated-risk-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Plaid","position":3,"item":"/software/113185/plaid","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/113185/plaid#breadcrumblist"}]}
