I've never EVER had a theft attempt on any of my bank accounts. Never until the day after I used plaid. Then I'm getting emails from my bank that the attempt to change my password or get access to my password hint has been denied and my account locked. Possible coincidence? Sure, but I don't believe in coincidence.

Absolute trash
Absolute trash. Avoid at all cost. Every time I’ve been forced to use them to make a payment I get locked out of my bank account months later because they repeat try to login on their own when there is no reason for them to be logging in.

I won't recommend it to anyone. A two year old can create a better app.

Doesn't work with Wells Fargo
Doesn't work with Wells Fargo. It shows how bad the state of financial verification is. I don't know why businesses (like AirBNB) would use this useless, frustrating service. They are losing customers this way. And it's not the user fault, I can tell you that.

This is a horrible service
This is a horrible service. It does not work, flat out, does not work. 2 banks, 1 says no accounts exist, the other it doesn't recognize the routing account number pulled straight from the my checks and bank site.

App Won't Link Fidelity
Have made several attempts to link Fidelity accounts without success. I am very disappointed because Fidelity is a major financial institution with many account holders.

I refuse to give over my information to Plaid. I wanted to use AirBnB but since they now use Plaid, I will no longer be using AirBnB. Bye Bye. The way business is done nowadays stinks! 🤬
