Plaid’s Data Connectivity solutions help your customers easily connect to Plaid’s network of over 6,000 fintech applications, including 9 of the top 10 most downloaded fintech apps in the Android + App store (from past 30 days as of May 9th, 2022). These products simplify the process of connecting to Plaid’s network with streamlined API implementation guides for all data partners, from large financial institutions and regional banks to neighborhood credit unions, fintechs, neobanks and digital banking platforms. Plaid’s Data Connectivity solutions enable data access, enhance security and privacy, and eliminate third-party credential sharing. 

Plaid’s Data Connectivity solutions include Core Exchange and Plaid Exchange.

Core Exchange

Core Exchange, the newest product in our Data Connectivity suite, provides data partners with a streamlined way to implement the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) API specification. FDX was established in 2018 to align the industry around a common technical standard for sharing financial data. Core Exchange streamlines and simplifies this industry-aligned implementation with a specification that only includes data fields needed to support the most popular fintech use cases. Starting today, Core Exchange is available for early access. Get started with Core Exchange here.

Plaid Exchange 

Plaid Exchange enables data partners to easily support newer, emerging fintech data types like cryptocurrency, which may not yet be covered by FDX. By leveraging Plaid Exchange, you can help your customers unlock cutting-edge fintech use cases. Since its launch in 2020, data partners like SoFi, Chime, Aspiration, Green Dot, Frost Bank, and credit unions and banks supported by Q2 and Jack Henry platforms have leveraged Plaid Exchange to enable millions of connections to fintech applications for their customers.
