The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.
