And it’s fairly easy to use. > > **Cons**: A few cons that I have about plat is the fact that you cannot verify Cash app or PayPal 70% of people use those platforms however they’re not compatible with plaid. Another thing that I disliked is that you’re begging information is linked to that number until you physically remove it. I’ve had instances where I had a new number and I had to verify my bank through Platt and someone else else’s banking information popped up. > > Although my overall experience with plaid is about 75% it’s a wonderful platform to verify your banking information fairly quickly. I just worry about other people that may have an old number of mine having access to my old banking information. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/174384/plaid?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/174384/plaid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
