Cons	Mastercard Some features are complicated. Needs more training. The Finicity Connect API documentation is not available in all areas. Incentivized Khati Disha Information Technology Project Manager Read full review	Plaid 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.
