      Transfer simplifies ACH by enabling secure customer authorization, transaction-risk analysis, and payment initiation. We’re now expanding our beta program, so contact our sales team or ask your Account Manager for more information.

      Expanding Auth & Identity co-coverage to 97%

      For customer authorization for ACH payments, Plaid recommends leveraging both Auth & Identity to reduce unauthorized returns and supplement your KYC processes. Now, 97% of all Auth accounts will return first and last name. Reach out to your Account Manager to add Identity to your customer authorization process for ACH payments.

      You can now test a sample App-to-App OAuth flow in Sandbox using the “Platypus OAuth App2App Bank” institution (ins_132241).
