May Changelog

Updated on November 21, 2018
We’re excited to introduce the Plaid Changelog! This is the inaugural post in a
new series we’re publishing that will highlight new products, features, and
upgrades we launch each month to keep you up to date on all Plaid happenings.
We’ve also written retroactive Changelogs for April
and March. It’s been a busy few months at Plaid—take
a look back at these posts to see what we’ve been up to!
Banks
At the start of this year, we committed to providing the best possible bank
coverage in terms of quality, availability, and breadth. We’re excited to share
the progress we’ve made towards that goal to date.
Expanded Auth coverage
This month, we added over 900 new institutions on our Auth endpoint, including
Fifth Third, M&T, Ally, Simple, and Golden1. As of this post, we now support
Auth for over 1,500 institutions, a significant increase from only ~60 in
January.
Link
We launched big design upgrades for Plaid Link
this month. Link on the desktop now has the same look and feel that came to mobile
in October and iOS in March. We also
introduced device-specific styling—such as native fonts, user interface
patterns, and navigation cues— on iOS and Android to make Link feel as native
and natural as possible.
