The problem

Receiving payments via direct bank transfer is significantly less expensive than using credit cards, but getting users signed in and authenticated is a cumbersome process.

The solution

Plaid makes it faster and easier to set up bank payments through a flow designed with the user experience and security in mind. Users enter their online credentials and Plaid instantly authenticates their account. Plus, in the US, Plaid works with any ACH processor to simplify bank-to-bank payments.

Plaid enabled Shift to offer a fully integrated online purchasing experience. The financial aspects of the process are much more seamless.
