Build the future of recurring payments with Plaid
About VRP
Variable Recurring Payments (VRP) allow users to authenticate once, and then make future payments without the need for additional authentication. VRP is an extension of our payment solution that powers one-off or recurring transactions into bank accounts across a wide range of industries, from Fintech to eCommerce.
We offer this as a standalone services. But it works best with our Verification and Data solutions, and our full range of payment options including instant refunds.
