Plaid is an open banking platform that allows buyers to authenticate and link their bank account to accept bank payments. In addition to Stripe's built-in verification product, Financial Connections, businesses can opt to use Plaid authentication with Stripe ACH payment processing. Plaid and Stripe have partnered to offer frictionless bank debits without the need to ever handle an account or routing number. Use Plaid Link to instantly authenticate your customer's account and automatically generate a Stripe bank account token so that you can accept ACH payments via Stripe.
To request activation of Plaid with your Stripe account, please login to your Stripe account and click Get Started above.
