Product highlights
Data access to Charles Schwab has been restored: We’re excited to announce that your customers can now connect their Charles Schwab accounts through Plaid. No action is needed from your team.
Announcing a new co-branded Consent pane for Link: Built with your feedback in mind, this new pane enables you to feature a combination of branding on the Consent pane: yours and Plaid’s, rather than just the latter. Log into the dashboard to opt into this pane.
Introducing webhooks (notifications) for loan account data: Keeping track of changes to a user’s consumer-permissioned loan data just got easier with webhooks. Customers using our Liabilities product can now receive programmatic updates about their users’ loan accounts.
Access categorized transactions for Assets: Customers using Assets are now automatically able to retrieve cleaned and categorized transactions as a part of an Asset Report. Just call the /asset_report/get endpoint with include_insights set to true. This is an optional feature and you’ll still be able to retrieve uncategorized transactions.
Recent bug fix for available balances: For Canadian institutions, available balances for credit card accounts will now return a value of ‘null’ if the credit limit is unknown. This is because without the credit limit, the available balance cannot always be determined.
Looking for our Changelog? You can find it in our docs.
Virtual events
Tune in via YouTube and never miss an event: Check out the Plaid YouTube channel to catch up on our most recent virtual events, including Tech Talk: Transform messy transaction data into clean, personalized insights.
