Institutions endpoints
Fetch data about supported institutions
Institution coverage
For a user-friendly overview of which institutions Plaid supports, and the product coverage at each institution, see the US and Canada Coverage Explorer or European Coverage Explorer.
The status dashboard also provides a browsable view of institutions and supported products, with a focus on reporting institution health and downtimes.
For more detailed institution information, or to access this data programmatically, use the API endpoints described on this page.
Supported countries
For a list of which products are supported for each country, see supported products by country or the docs for the specific product you are interested in.
By default, customers in the United States and Canada receive access to institutions in all countries in Sandbox, and to United States and Canada in Production. To gain access to additional countries in Production, file a product access Support ticket.

/institutions/get
Get details of all supported institutions
Returns a JSON response containing details on all financial institutions currently supported by Plaid. Because Plaid supports thousands of institutions, results are paginated.
If there is no overlap between an institution’s enabled products and a client’s enabled products, then the institution will be filtered out from the response. As a result, the number of institutions returned may not match the count specified in the call.

An optional object to filter
/institutions/get results.[string]
Filter the Institutions based on which products they support. Will only return institutions that support all listed products. When filtering based on
auth, an institution must support Instant Auth to match the criterion. To filter for Signal Transaction Scores support, use balance. To filter for Transfer support, use auth.Min items:
1 Possible values:
assets, auth, balance, employment, identity, cra_base_report, cra_income_insights, cra_cashflow_insights, cra_lend_score, cra_network_insights, cra_partner_insights, income_verification, identity_verification, investments, liabilities, payment_initiation, standing_orders, transactions[string]
Specify an array of routing numbers to filter institutions. The response will only return institutions that match all of the routing numbers in the array. Routing number records used for this matching are generally comprehensive; however, failure to match a given routing number to an institution does not necessarily mean that the institution is unsupported by Plaid. Invalid routing numbers (numbers that are not 9 digits in length or do not have a valid checksum) will be filtered from the array before the response is processed. If all provided routing numbers are invalid, an
INVALID_REQUEST error with the code of INVALID_FIELD will be returned.boolean
Limit results to institutions with or without OAuth login flows. Note that institutions will have
oauth set to true if some Items associated with that institution are required to use OAuth flows; institutions in a state of migration to OAuth will have the oauth attribute set to true.boolean

A list of Plaid institutions
string
Unique identifier for the institution. Note that the same institution may have multiple records, each with different institution IDs; for example, if the institution has migrated to OAuth, there may be separate

A login attempt is conducted during the initial Item add in Link.

Search institutions
Returns a JSON response containing details for institutions that match the query parameters, up to a maximum of ten institutions per query.
Versioning note: API versions 2019-05-29 and earlier allow use of the public_key parameter instead of the client_id and secret parameters to authenticate to this endpoint. The public_key parameter has since been deprecated; all customers are encouraged to use client_id and secret instead.
Request fields

The search query. Institutions with names matching the query are returned
Min length:
1 [string]
Filter the Institutions based on whether they support all products listed in
products. Provide null to get institutions regardless of supported products. Note that when auth is specified as a product, if you are enabled for Instant Match or Automated Micro-deposits, institutions that support those products will be returned even if auth is not present in their product array. To search for Transfer support, use auth; to search for Signal Transaction Scores support, use balance.Min items:

Specify which country or countries to include institutions from, using the ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code standard. In API versions 2019-05-29 and earlier, the
country_codes parameter is an optional parameter within the options object and will default to [US] if it is not supplied.Possible values:

An optional object to filter
/institutions/search results.boolean
Limit results to institutions with or without OAuth login flows. Note that institutions will have
oauth set to true if some Items associated with that institution are required to use OAuth flows; institutions in a state of migration to OAuth will have the oauth attribute set to true.boolean
When true, return the institution's homepage URL, logo and primary brand color.

true, returns metadata related to the Auth product indicating which auth methods are supported.Default:

string
Unique identifier for the institution. Note that the same institution may have multiple records, each with different institution IDs; for example, if the institution has migrated to OAuth, there may be separate

The official name of the institution.
[string]
A list of the Plaid products supported by the institution. Note that only institutions that support Instant Auth will return
auth in the product array; institutions that do not list auth may still support other Auth methods such as Instant Match or Automated Micro-deposit Verification. To identify institutions that support those methods, use the auth_metadata object. For more details, see Full Auth coverage. The income_verification product here indicates support for Bank Income.
