About Plaid
Build a complete picture of a borrower - on one platform.
Each issue we initiate with Plaid's support staff receives prompt attention, and they take the time to clarify faults and provide solutions.
My only complaint is that sometimes it takes longer to verify than I feel necessary.

Secure, Easy Access from Plaid to your Financial Institution Process
Pros:
It was safe and secure- took me to log in via Bank of America and quickly linked up
Cons:
Didn’t have one of online accounts, Chime in there which is Stride NA bank.
Responsive customer support
Comments: The overall experience with Plaid is pretty good. Because the customer support is loads better than Yodlee's, I would say it is a good syncing vendor choice. But there will still be some headaches you should anticipate.
Pros:
Being new the finance industry, I am still able to navigate Plaid's system, and I can always count on receiving a reply from Plaid's customer support within a couple days of submitting a ticket.
Cons:
Plaid's dropping of working with Fidelity caused us a huge amount of headache, and I wish there were a better resolution.
This is my plaid
Comments: I enjoy this app especially how secure and safe. It keeps my information.
Pros:
How secure it is and easy to understand!
Cons:
Does not support all the banks that are mostly used
Watch out for false promises from Plaid prior signing agreements
Comments: I will not recommend them to any of my peers as they are awful from a commitment and follow through standpoint.
Pros:
During the sales phase, Plaid makes all kinds of promises to the functionality and their willingness to work with you. Don't believe.
Cons:
Plaid will make false promises in the sale cycle and not follow through. Do not sign any agreements with them.
Plaid gets it Paid.

It was a very thorough 2 step process to verify identity.
Plaid is a site I trust

Pros:
The security and ease of use. It's easy to see, use, and enter in your information.

At times it seems it wavers in connection although that could definitely be user location when accessing it
Plaid has made connecting my financial platforms simple!

Plaid allows me to seamlessly link my multiple accounts without leaving the app.

Plaid - simple payments
Comments: Overall, plaid is an easy simple way to pay. I love when plaid is an option.
Pros:
Ease of use, connects directly to my bank account + makes paying easy.
Cons:
The only thing is that I prefer to give my sensitive info away to as few people as possible. But it’s a trusted company so I dont mind.

Time consuming, glitchy, repetitive
Comments: As a solo traveler for the past month, Plaid has been required on all Airbnb experiences I've booked. Despite being logged into the same account, on the same computer, without having ever cleared my cookies or history during this time, I've been required to reauthenticate my info by linking up my account to Wells Fargo each and every time I book. It would be annoying enough already, but then it doesn't even work half the time: crashes the tab, stalls, and you're left staring at the screen wondering if you should close the tab and start over or...? Gah! Airbnb used to have a regular check-out process with normal credit card processing. I wonder why on earth this Plaid nightmare is needed? Someone explain it to me. I have resorted to searching Airbnb for unique experiences, and then when I'm ready to book, I copy & paste the title into Google just in case I can book it on literally ANY other platform that doesn't use Plaid. What did we do to deserve this torture, Airbnb? Haven't we been good to you? Why such punishment for our loyalty to you! :(
Pros:
Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing
Cons:
Lagging, crashing, stalling, slow, redundant, repetitive, exhausting
Great Third Party Billing System
Comments: It was functional and it got the job done so I have no complaints.
Pros:
The fact that it was a third party, which protected my information.
Cons:
It wasn't as seamless as direct usage, but not too bad.
Plaid review .
Comments: I like plaid because it’s very easy and convenient to use. Plaid helps you login with having to enter all your bank information like by your phone number or email. I personally think it’s very easy to use and really convenient
Pros:
Plaid automatically connects your bank account with your email or phone number. It’s a faster and safer and it’s the most trusted financial platform that most people use.
Cons:
There’s nothing that I don’t like about plaid
Plaid review
Comments: 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.
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.
Plaid is great
Pros:
They are easy to use. I have never had an issue with using them.
Cons:
There is nothing that I do not like about them.
Amazing! Recommended

Positive Experience with Plaid
Comments: Overall, my experience has been very positive.
Pros:
I found it very easy to use and very safe.
Cons:
The first time I was introduced to Plaid I was nervous about needing to connect to my bank through their platform, but everything went smoothly.
Use when need to
Comments: I use it more so for personal use and some business to manage all my finances in one place as well as accept payments when I do art shows.
Pros:
I like that I can accept payments from other artist platforms.
Cons:
I do not use it as much. Only certain platforms use it.
Decent company
Comments: I’ve had a decent experience with them and nothing of mine was ruined
Pros:
I like that it’s a secure website for you banking and to login to your account
Cons:
There are always a lot of data leaks with the company
Most useful app I have seen in a long time.
Pros:
Plaid provides a valuable & necessary Service. Plaid gives me the ability to connect my financial accounts with different apps which in turn makes me managing my finances a breeze and saves me a ton of time. Their security features allow me to feel confident that my financial information is safe in this online environment.
Cons:
The only con I have come across using Plaid is that some smaller financial institutions i.e. local banks, small credit Unions are not included in their system. I would like to see more institutions included. As well a broader range, investing apps such as Public or Plynk for example.
Great for importing customer data
Pros:
Plaid was easy to implement and import data from multiple sources in one format.
Cons:
Some of the connections have issues and some institutions are not supported.
It's okay
Pros:
Makes it easy and safe to sign into my bank account through other sites.
Cons:
ALOT of the time it does not recognize my bank n that kinda sucks.
I could live without plaid
Comments: I think this platform wax that form wax a lot I think it needs to have an easier way to find your and verify your account and I think that as mainstream as one time yousing prepaID Cards and accounts are coming that it shouldn't include those 2 what are you what have you got I know you've got a vape I can smell the damn thing strawberries it's that pink vape isn't it
Pros:
The only thing good about plot is that you might be able to verify your bank maybe
Cons:
I think plad should include all money moving services not just the ones that they choose
Easy and Safe.
Comments: My expectations is that it’s easy to use and keeps my information safe.
Pros:
It protects your payment sources to keep you safe shopping online.
Cons:
I haven’t found anything to dislike about plaid so far.

Agrxis Review on Plaid
Comments: I have found Plaid to be an outstanding platform overall, and it has considerably improved my ability to manage my finances. It is tremendously straightforward to view and evaluate my financial data in real time because to the smooth interface with numerous financial institutions. My time and effort have been greatly reduced by how simple it was to link my bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts. I've been able to obtain a deeper understanding of my spending habits and make wiser financial decisions because to Plaid's thorough transaction information and classification. Additionally, I have peace of mind knowing that Plaid has put in place strong security measures to protect my data. A great user experience is also aided by the user-friendly interface and intuitive design.
Pros:
I have been amazed by Plaid's powerful and dependable financial data connection capabilities. As a result of the platform's smooth interaction with numerous financial institutions, I can quickly get and examine banking data. Real-time data access, which offers accurate and up-to-date insights into my financial activity, is one of the features I value most. I feel secure knowing that my financial information is secure because to Plaid's security safeguards. In addition, integrating Plaid into my own applications has been a breeze thanks to the developer-friendly APIs and documentation. The Plaid support staff has been accommodating and supportive, swiftly responding to any questions or concerns.
Cons:
Although Plaid offers useful capabilities for integrating financial data, there have been a few elements that I haven't found to be as positive in my experience. The data I got from several financial organizations occasionally had inconsistencies, which was one of my problems. To make sure the information was accurate and consistent, more work was needed. The provision of support for a wider range of foreign banks and financial institutions is another area that may be enhanced. As a foreign user, I discovered that Plaid did not support all of the institutions I work with, which constrained the extent of data integration.
Makes setting up your banking much easier
Comments: Overall, this is a brilliant tool that makes your life way easier. On your end, there is nothing you have to do beyond type in your banking information. Plaid handles the rest and your banking is now connected the financial tools you use. If your financial tools mention that you connect your bank with "Plaid," but you have not done so because you are unsure what is all involved, have no fear. The process takes less than a couple of minutes and is secure.
Pros:
- easy to use- doesn't cost you any money
Cons:
Not every bank in the world is listed (but most are)
