Ask Bill!
Ask Bill!
Hi! I'm Bill! You can ask me all about the Plaid API. Try asking questions like:
  • Which countries does Investments support?
  • How do I enable IDV selfie checks?
  • How do I set up a webhook for IDV?
Note: Bill isn't perfect. He's just a robot platypus that reads our docs for fun. You should treat his answers with the same healthy skepticism you might treat any other answer on the internet. This chat may be logged for quality and training purposes. Please don't send Bill any PII -- he's scared of intimacy. All chats with Bill are subject to Plaid's Privacy Policy.

The Partner directory is not a complete list of all Plaid partners; if you don't see the partnership you're looking for, contact your Account Manager.

Ask Bill

Bill is our helpful robot platypus that reads our docs for fun! You can ask Bill any time you need help with the Plaid API. Remember that Bill (like all of us) isn't perfect, even though he tries his best -- he can sometimes make mistakes, and he can only provide answers based on Plaid's published documentation and other publicly available information sources.

Security portal, audits, and certifications

For a high-level overview of information on Plaid's privacy and security practices for developers, see Plaid Safety.

For details on Plaid's current certifications, audit results, and the security knowledge base, see the Security Portal.

Plaid maintains a HackerOne bug bounty program for security researchers.
