You can join the Plaid Developer Community on Discord or ask questions on Stack Overflow.

Plaid partners can unlock additional functionality, deepen your integrations, or even build out your integration for you! For more information, see the Partner directory.

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. To specifically request partnership help with building your integration, contact Support and select "Building with Plaid" followed by "Plaid Partner Implementation Assistance".

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.

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.
