Plaid provides bank-data connectivity for apps including Robinhood, Coinbase, SoFi, and Venmo. The company ended a $5.3 billion sale to Visa in 2021 after a Department of Justice antitrust suit, then raised $425 million at a $13.4 billion valuation. Plaid has expanded into identity verification, fraud tools, and ACH payments, and it introduced consumer permissioning controls. In December 2022, Plaid cut about 260 roles, or 20 percent of staff. A potential listing would unfold alongside the CFPB’s open banking rulemaking, faster payments adoption via FedNow and RTP, and competition from Mastercard’s Finicity, Envestnet’s Yodlee, MX, Visa’s Tink, and TrueLayer.
