Pros	Plaid Plaid connects with 100s of US consumer banks. Plaid continuously updates its software to meet the requirements of individual banks. Plaid can get your company's payment processing up and running faster than traditional methods. Incentivized Sura Hart Program Manager Read full review	Sila No answers on this topic
Cons	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.

Return on Investment	Plaid Plaid got us up and running with most US-based and even some international banks with minimal engineering effort. Incentivized Sura Hart Program Manager Read full review	Sila No answers on this topic
