Plaid was founded in 2013 by Zach Perret and William Hockey. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Plaid is a financial services company providing the tools and access needed for the development of a fully modern, and digitally-enabled financial system. The Company offers API's that allow developers to programatically interact with banks and credit cards, giving them access to account and transactional data, including merchant names, street addresses, and geo coordinates. They markets their products and services throughout the United States.

The company offers amazing consumer experiences, developer-friendly infrastructure, and intelligence tools that give everyone the ability to build the future of financial services. They build a data transfer network that powers Fintech and digital finance products. From the consumer side, this means they allow common apps such as Venmo and Chime to offer banking services without having to develop all the infrastructure themselves.
