    • Consumer feedback or troubleshooting typically comes back to us because Plaid doesn't have an easy way of re-routing support once a user encounters a problem.
    • Update timelines could be clearer when they are working on updating a connection with a certain bank.
    • The search functionality for the user to find their bank could be a little more robust.
