Overview
Plaid overview
Plaid connects applications to users' bank accounts for financial data aggregation and account linking, widely used for ACH payments and money movement. It suits teams that need bank data and account verification as an input to onboarding. Note that Plaid is not itself a KYC or KYB compliance tool, so pair it with identity and screening providers in your flow.

Where Plaid fits, and what to plan for.
Honest notes on the trade-offs, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.
- Teams that need bank account linking and financial data as an onboarding input
- US-market applications that value broad institution coverage
- Not a standalone compliance tool. Plaid provides bank data rather than KYC or KYB checks, so pair it with identity verification and screening providers in your Zenoo flow to complete compliance.
- Connection reliability. Some reports cite connection sync issues with certain institutions, particularly Canadian banks. Zenoo fallback routing lets you fall back to another data source when a link fails.
Open the customer's case
What your team sees
The Plaid result, beside everything else.
The result sits with screening and review on one case, so nobody checks a second tool to see the whole customer.
Hands it to your team
Verification is the first step. Compliance Hub handles the rest.
Once a customer is verified, screening and review happen in Compliance Hub. A possible PEP match lands in your team inbox with the evidence and the full history beside it. Zenoo suggests, your team decides.
