Operations Lead Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Convenient, but not upfront with consumers " December 22, 2025 4.0 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. Review Source BD Blake D. Director Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Plaid Review " March 25, 2025 3.0 Pros I like how plaid that you can connect to sites via bank account super Fast Cons I always question the privacy and security of the site being everything online is technically not 100% safe. They also had a data leak that happened kinda recently. Review Source DB Damon B. Founder Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works well (most of the time)" May 12, 2025 4.0 It's worked well connecting business account information with different platforms. Sometimes it requires a few logins, but that may be more reflective of the platforms themselves. Pros It seamlessly connects different payment platforms. Cons The log-in setup sometimes requires a few tries. Review Source ED Erica D. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, speeds up account connection " April 13, 2025 5.0 Pros It's such an easy way to connect bank accounts. Cons Occasionally it hasn't worked for unknown reasons. Review Source KB Kristen B. News Writer Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plaid is a safe solution for sharing financial information" March 30, 2025 5.0 I was able to safely share my bank details with apps Pros Plaid provides tools that enable me to share my financial data with apps that provide services to me Cons I could not think of anything that I dislike about Plaid Review Source ZJ Zakau J. Compliance officer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Plaid has made connecting my financial platforms simple!" December 27, 2024 5.0 I really enjoy using plaid across my different financial platforms and rarely run into issues! Pros Plaid allows me to seamlessly link my multiple accounts without leaving the app. Cons My only complaint is that sometimes it takes longer to verify than I feel necessary.

Business office manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Couldn't B Happier" April 28, 2025 5.0 My experience was absolutely amazing. It was so easy, convenient, and quite simple. I would recommend this to anyone. Pros Convenience and simplicity. It was extremely easy to use. Even in the beginning, it was easy to navigate. Cons Absolutely nothing. Everything was a positive experience. I couldn't be happier with this app. Thank you. Review Source EL Ethan L. Senior Sales Development Representative Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plaid - simple payments" February 25, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source LM Latoria M. Singer Songwriter Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Third Party Billing System " March 4, 2025 5.0 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. Review Source DD Desiree D. Product Designer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Responsive customer support " September 27, 2024 4.0 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.

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. Review Source EP Erin P. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Positive Experience with Plaid" October 23, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source KM Keri M. Delivery driver Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plaid review" August 27, 2024 2.0 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. Review Source KH Kimberly H. Personal Trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comfortably Plaid!" September 16, 2024 5.0 When connecting accounts to my bank account, Plaid is a trusted company and i feel comfortable using this to link sensitive bank info. Pros It is so easy to communicate through Plaid to my bank account! Cons I have no cons on Plaid..Plaid has always worked easily for me! Review Source BM Blake M. Author Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and Safe. " October 30, 2024 4.0 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. Review Source AS Akiya S. Intern Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Decent company " August 24, 2024 3.0 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 Review Source David V. CTO Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plaid is the only game in town for connecting to any financial service" June 5, 2021 4.0 We use Plaid to check bank balances and to accept ACH payments. It works great for both purposes. Be aware that some financial platforms (banks) are hostile to Plaid (to the extent of suing Plaid) and have sporadic availability. Some platforms have an arrangement with Plaid that requires you to complete additional documentation steps, like sharing your security policies and business information. Presumably, you get more reliable integration in exchange. For our use case, the cost of Plaid is trivial, but to accept ACH payments, Plaid integrates with Stripe, which does charge a fee for the actual payment. Bottom line, no other service can offer what Plaid can, so if you want your customers to connect to their financial institution to your product, Plaid is your only option. Pros Plaid is relatively easy to setup and use. The API documentation is great and API credential setup is easy. The SDK supports all common platforms, and rich code samples are provided. Cons Getting approved for production access was a paid. The support team ignored requests. We had to create a second account, which was finally approved. Why this was needed is a mystery. Plaid will push an expensive monthly plan, but it's not needed for sporadic access.

Also allows me to my fast and easy transactions from my bank account. Cons I worry about the security of the platform because of the ease of use and the number of accounts I have connected to it Review Source Virginia J. NA Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time consuming, glitchy, repetitive " December 15, 2023 1.0 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 Review Source SN Steve N. Founder Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for importing customer data" October 2, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source Melissa T. Deli associate Supermarkets Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plethora of financial groups" July 12, 2021 3.0 Plaid is great. I wish more options/places were listed & some already listed to be more detailed so that you don't accidentally go to the wrong login. More options/places are added constantly so its hard to complain about an app that is constantly trying to improve Pros I like how it recognizes the different needs & requirements each individual financial group/bank expects. Some simply need login information while others demand more details. Either way, Plaid requires that extra level of security to be sure & safe which helps release any worry about identity theft in my opinion Cons While Plaid lists tons of different banks & financial institutions its also missing a good number of them too. Not just by their doing but by the intended group & their exoectations Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead UI Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thanks to Plaid I can do transaction between my accounts quickly and flawlessly!" September 23, 2022 5.0 I am pleased to have smooth transaction processes without unnecessary wait periods! Thanks, Plaid! Pros Fast, secure authentication process, good feedback flow. Cons No cons. I have not found anything negative up to this point. Review Source PK Parth K. Web Developer Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A fantastic partner for development integrations that is quick and secure" February 15, 2023 4.0 Pros When conducting business with your business, Plaid is a safe and secure solution for your consumers to verify their financial details. It features a user-friendly interface for both myself and my clients. Each issue we initiate with Plaid's support staff receives prompt attention, and they take the time to clarify faults and provide solutions. They consistently follow up to make sure that the problems of our users have been fixed and see cases through to completion. Cons Sometimes it takes months to remedy a problem. By the time a user's issue is rectified, they may have given up and terminated their accounts. Plaid provides a wide range of features, many of which small company owners won't require. This gives the setup procedure a more difficult than necessary appearance. Keep your APIs straightforward, and you won't experience any headaches. Review Source JT John T. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes setting up your banking much easier" June 7, 2023 5.0 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) Review Source Kerby R. CEO Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product " January 23, 2020 5.0 Great i love this product. Pros Very fast and very accurate. Saves a lot of time verifying bank accounts. Cons I really wish they had an app. So when you're out of the office you can still check.
