No new build. Just more coverage.

  • On Plaid? You're set up.

    Database Auth is built into Plaid Link as a native fallback, and is ready to go the moment you need it.

    Set your own rules in the Account Verification Dashboard. When available, layer in Identity Match or Signal for deeper risk insight.
