    Plaid is extremely well suited to be your payment API if you're a start-up looking to scale your banking connections fast and securely. Their API is fully functional upon integration. Most end-users have encountered Plaid before so it's a trusted platform for many consumers so even if you're a new app, users feel comfortable connecting their bank through Plaid.

    For basic users it is probably a good fit. For connecting it's API's are straightforward and most would find it an easy connection to be made. The site overall is just not designed well. When you try to look at transactions a portion of the information is cut of without a scroll bar being added to slide to the fields you would like to see. If you need to see the data on the screen you need to make some adjustments.

    • They have built the connections to multiple card providers so that a retailer does not need to build the code for each one separately.
    • The decision manager product catches and stops a lot of fraud from getting through and causing a large number or chargebacks.
    • They also connect to PayPal making it easy to add them to any website as a payment method.

    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.

    • fees- competitive, but budget for them
    • price transparency- it's hard to know exactly what you're being charged for. We are charged a small % of each incoming payment batch, so AR reconciliation is more difficult
    • implementation- significant time and expertise required to get everything up and running smoothly

    Payeezy does not provide fraud check facility and they provide JS based integration. Since client wants server side integration due to security and fraud check as well in place of using another third party for fraud. We went ahead with Cybersource
