/identity/get | Fetch identity data |
/identity/match | Match client identity with bank identity |
/identity/documents/uploads/get | Get Identity data parsed from an uploaded bank statement |
Endpoints
/identity/get
Retrieve identity data
The /identity/get endpoint allows you to retrieve various account holder information on file with the financial institution, including names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses. Only name data is guaranteed to be returned; other fields will be empty arrays if not provided by the institution.
Note: In API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier, the owners object is not returned, and instead identity information is returned in the top level identity object. For more details, see Plaid API versioning.

Like all Plaid identifiers, the
account_id will be assigned to the account.The
account_id can also change if the access_token is deleted and the same credentials that were used to generate that access_token are used to generate a new access_token on a later date. In that case, the new account_id will be different from the old account_id.If an account with a specific
account_id disappears instead of changing, the account is likely closed. Closed accounts are not returned by the Plaid API.When using a CRA endpoint (an endpoint associated with Plaid Check Consumer Report, i.e. any endpoint beginning with
/cra/), the account_id returned will not match the account_id returned by a non-CRA endpoint.Like all Plaid identifiers, the
account_id is case sensitive.balancesobject
A set of fields describing the balance for an account. Balance information may be cached unless the balance object was returned by

credit-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the limit less the current balance, less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows.For
depository-type accounts, the available balance typically equals the current balance less any pending outflows plus any pending inflows. For depository-type accounts, the available balance does not include the overdraft limit.For
investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the available balance is the total cash available to withdraw as presented by the institution.Note that not all institutions calculate the
available balance. In the event that available balance is unavailable, Plaid will return an available balance value of null.Available balance may be cached and is not guaranteed to be up-to-date in realtime unless the value was returned by

For
credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.For
loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.For
investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by
/accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.When returned by

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (
ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.holder_categorynullablestring

Errors are identified by
error_code and categorized by error_type. Use these in preference to HTTP status codes to identify and handle specific errors. HTTP status codes are set and provide the broadest categorization of errors: 4xx codes are for developer- or user-related errors, and 5xx codes are for Plaid-related errors, and the status will be 2xx in non-error cases. An Item with a non-null error object will only be part of an API response when calling /item/get to view Item status.

credit-type accounts, a positive balance indicates the amount owed; a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.For
loan-type accounts, the current balance is the principal remaining on the loan, except in the case of student loan accounts at Sallie Mae (ins_116944). For Sallie Mae student loans, the account's balance includes both principal and any outstanding interest. Similar to credit-type accounts, a positive balance is typically expected, while a negative amount indicates the lender owing the account holder.For
investment-type accounts (or brokerage-type accounts for API versions 2018-05-22 and earlier), the current balance is the total value of assets as presented by the institution.Note that balance information may be cached unless the value was returned by
/accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.When returned by

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud. In Sandbox, this field is populated for TAN-based institutions (
ins_56, ins_13) as well as the OAuth Sandbox institution (ins_127287); in Production, it will only be populated for accounts at applicable institutions.holder_categorynullablestring

/accounts/balance/get or by /signal/evaluate with a Balance-only ruleset; if the Item is enabled for Transactions, the balance will be at least as recent as the most recent Transaction update. If you require realtime balance information, use the available balance as provided by /accounts/balance/get or /signal/evaluate called with a Balance-only ruleset_key.When returned by
/accounts/balance/get, this field may be null. When this happens, available is guaranteed not to be null.Format:

A unique and persistent identifier for accounts that can be used to trace multiple instances of the same account across different Items for depository accounts. This field is currently supported only for Items at institutions that use Tokenized Account Numbers (i.e., Chase and PNC, and in May 2025 US Bank). Because these accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify an account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud.
