    Those who know Meredith Fuchs and her work would see this as an extremely fitting recognition. We’re proud that Meredith, our General Counsel, has been named to American Banker’s list of Most Influential Women in Fintech for 2024 🏆 American Banker highlighted some of Meredith's work: “Now she leads Plaid’s engagement with regulators on consumer data portability and has submitted detailed recommendations to the CFPB about its proposed rule that would execute section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act."

    Announcing: Plaid Layer Layer increases end-to-end sign up rates by 10 - 25%. In a world where 1-2% gains are considered a big win. Here’s how we give you the Internet’s fastest, highest converting financial onboarding experience: 1. 📱 You send us your user's phone number when they're signing up for your service. From that, Plaid tells you whether that user is in the Plaid network 2. ⚡ In-network users are given the choice to sign up instantly with Plaid. Layer authenticates the user, and then presents them everything from their name and date of birth to their SSN and their most relevant previously linked bank account 3. 🌐 Your user hits "Share" and instantly permissions their full identity so you can KYC them. This also links a bank account in one tap (for supported institutions) This is a *massive* improvement in user onboarding. It's an 87% reduction in end to end financial onboarding time - KYC to account linking. And it works, today, for tens of millions of users who are already in our network. Some of my favorite key features: 🔑 Next-level user authentication, powered by direct-to-carrier SIM authentication, our ML models for thwarting bad actors, Passkeys for seamless login, and our network of trusted devices 📊 You can make sure that only users who have *exactly the data you need* on file go through this experience. Everyone else uses your existing signup flow. 🎉 We only charge you when users successfully share their information and link an account with you. Our incentives are 100% aligned with yours. 🧠 We called it Layer because it's a layer that sits on top of your sign up flow that only appears when it benefits you and your users It's available starting today.
