      In this month's newsletter, learn about our latest product highlights—such as a new transaction categorization taxonomy—as well as numerous virtual events, including our industry-wide Plaid Forum conference.

      Product highlights

      Transactions: Introducing a new categorization taxonomy

      Access a new categorization taxonomy that’s optimized for personal financial management apps and tools, featuring 16 primary and 104 detailed categories. Expect an easier-to-work-with taxonomy able to provide higher-quality category predictions. The taxonomy is an optional integration, but we encourage you to test it out!

      Reminder: Upgrade to the latest Link SDKs

      To provide an optimal experience for your customers, upgrade to our latest SDKs. Android 3.7.1, iOS 2.4.0, and and React Native 7.3.0 are now available. Please note that we’ll no longer support any versions prior to Android 3.5, iOS 2.2.2, or React Native 7.1.1 after 11/1/22. Upgrade now!

      Reminder: Migrate to the new Account Select pane

      To give users even more control and transparency, the new account select pane will automatically be included in the Plaid Link flow starting March 31, 2022. To learn more about this update, please watch a recording of our recent workshop, “How to migrate to the updated Account Select pane in Link” and review our migration guide.
