    Plaid review.

    Date: Nov 02 2022
    Summary

    I think Plaid is a much better platform than other alternatives out there, like a Yodlee, it has much better design and just really gets the job done.

    Positive

    Good at what it does, fairly easy to set up and offers a lot of flexible customization features for bringing people into your financial apps.

    Negative

    Not a lot to hate about Plaid, I think the pricing can start to creep up if you have lots of users connecting their banks.

    Easy to use on the customer side

    Date: Jan 25 2022
    Summary

    Overall happy with how easy it is to use on the customer side of the product. Not sure what it is like on the business side.

    Positive

    I have dabbled in the business side of plaid but as a customer it was easy to use. This review is more for businesses to hear what a customer thinks. I like how this works with cards. It's nice to be able to trust where you are putting your card info.

    Negative

    Nothing major. Have had issues with Discover not being accepted randomly until try 3.

    Plaid is a decent software

    Date: Jun 18 2021
    Summary

    PLAID is a decent software that connects banks to other banks. It is affordable and allows companies a cheap option for bank details.

    Positive

    PLAID is quick and easy to use when connecting your bank accounts. Support response time is quick and efficient, something solutions are not found immediately though.

    Negative

    The back-end for companies could use some work it is very confusing. Submitting tickets are confusing and difficult. It is near impossible to get a ticket entered without having to deep dive into the transactions and finding request codes.

    Plaid connectivity

    Date: May 18 2021
    Summary

    Overall Plaid has been instrumental in the development of our company. There are issues that eventually get smoothed out. This is a great option for startup companies and relatively easy to use. The only suggestion is to upgrade the search bar to offer an advance setting to find banks easier.

    Positive

    Plaid was able to integrate banks that were not currently available. The time frame was six months but the integration process happened in three months. That was great as we can offer our services to more customers. Plaid has the vast majority of major banks, not so much smaller banks and credit unions.

    Negative

    There is no search option on their website to see if the bank institution is available through plaid. This would make it easier to let customers know right away instead of creating a fake application and searching on a live application.

    Supports most major banks

    Date: Jul 17 2020
    Summary

    Fantastic experience using Plaid. Highly recommend it for apps that need to accept a variety of payment methods.

    Positive

    I'm a huge fan of how easy Plaid's API makes it to enable connecting different payment sources from different banks. The user logs in with the same online banking credentials they normally do, and the data stays where it's supposed to.

    Negative

    Nothing, really. From a user experience perspective Plaid's doesn't leave much to be desired.
