Rich integration options: We offer a broad range of options, including native mobile, full-page redirection integrations optimised for desktop, mobile web, and mobile devices, as well as web software development kits (SDKs).
Open banking/PSD2 compliant: Plaid’s integrations are open banking and PSD2 compliant, delivering secure and reliable access to the UK and EU financial ecosystems

Link
Link is the fastest way to get started. It’s optimised for conversion and used by hundreds of millions of consumers. Constantly updated, it ensures the benefits of the full Plaid platform in your user experience.
Link Features
Easy integration and configuration
Link easily embeds in your onboarding flow and messages, buttons, and colours can be modified to match your brand, creating a seamless user experience across your app. This means more time to focus on building your product—not integrating with ours.
Automatic institution list and account filtering
Financial institutions are automatically displayed based on user data, such as location. Account types and subtypes can be tailored to show only those relevant to your app.
Multi-country support
By simply adding a country code to your initialisation, Link will automatically be localised to a new language and bank list.
Error messaging and event logs
Actionable instructions help users successfully troubleshoot, while deeper user insights are displayed directly in the Dashboard.
(Desktop only) QR code authentication
Remove friction from the Plaid account linking desktop experience by seamlessly handing off a payment session from desktop to mobile via a QR code. Learn more.
Context-aware transitions (coming soon)
Smooth iOS/Android/Web native transitions free of intermediary screens and redirections seamlessly guide your users through the account connection journey.
PIS-only
Modular Link
With Modular Link, customers can customise elements of account connection flow by selecting from our prebuilt modules and SDKs. For customers with a PISP license, we also offer a whitelabeled option for full user-interface control.
Modular Link Features
Customisable UX
The UX is customisable so you can optimise your user journey without front-end integration complexities, such as app-to-app redirects.
Easy integration and maintenance
Our SDKs and prebuilt iOS, Android, and Web UI modules are designed to make your integration easier.
Whitelabelable
If you have your own payment initiation license, Plaid offers a fully whitelabelled solution for full user-interface control. Under these circumstances, you and not Plaid would be providing PIS.
Plaid Link was easy to integrate within Paysend and offers the best in class UX with complete control. We built with Plaid’s SDKs and fully customised the UX to match our need of saving time and complexities for our customers.
