Under utilizes Plaid to allow users to connect their bank account. We currently utilize the Auth, Database Insights, Balance, and Transactions tools from Plaid.
Auth allows you to request a user's checking or savings account information, making it easy for you to initiate credits or debits. For example, your app might allow users to accumulate a credit balance that they can cash out to a bank account, or it might allow users to pay you using their bank account information. With Auth, a user can provide this information in a frictionless way, simply by authenticating into their bank account.
Note that Auth can only be used with checking or savings accounts. Auth cannot be used with other depository accounts, such as money market accounts. Credit-type accounts, including credit cards, cannot receive payments directly via electronic interbank transfers, and Auth data cannot be used to set up credit card payments.
Database Insights (beta) can increase conversion by providing instant account verification without requiring users to link a bank account via credentials. End users choosing the manual Database Insights path will not be required to log in to their financial institution and instead can enter their account and routing number manually.
Database Insights verifies account and routing numbers by checking the information provided against Plaid's known account numbers, leveraging Plaid's database of over 200 million verified accounts. If no match is found, Plaid will check the account number format against known usages by the institution associated with the given routing number. Database Insights will provide a verification status of 'pass', 'pass with caution', or 'fail' and a set of attributes that contributed to that status, such as whether a match was found or whether Plaid fell back to checking account number formats.
Database Insights does not verify that the user has access to the bank account,
Balance is Plaid's product for receiving real-time Balance information via /accounts/balance/get. This real-time Balance data can be helpful when checking to see if an account has sufficient funds before using it as a funding source for a money transfer. Balance is available for use exclusively in combination with other Plaid products, such as Auth for money movement or account funding use cases or Transactions for personal finance use cases.
Transactions data available via /transactions/sync includes transaction date, amount, category, merchant, location, and more. Transaction data is lightly cleaned to populate the name field, and more thoroughly processed to populate the merchant_name field
