🎧 For anyone curious about Plaid’s founding story, this is for you. 🎧 Last month, our Co-Founder and CEO Zach Perret joined Tomer Cohen, Chief Product Officer at LinkedIn, to share all about his early adventures building and scaling Plaid, and how he did so with a maniacal focus on customer outcomes along the way.

Oftentimes in life, we take frictionless experiences for granted, like using our credit card to buy something and assuming the transaction will just work. But behind every seamless and ordinary activity, there is usually a very powerful infrastructure in place. That’s the story of Plaid. Started in 2013, Plaid helped revolutionize financial services and usher in a new generation of fintech development. Many of the financial applications you use today leverage Plaid as their backbone infrastructure. On this week’s episode of Building One, Zachary Perret, Plaid's CEO and co-founder, shares some great insights and lessons on how they saw the opportunity in an industry that was stubbornly behind. Including: // How the best source of insight & empathy can be your own experience // Pivoting from a consumer product to B2B // The value in designing for a very narrow and simple experience at first // What it’s like to build within a highly regulated industry // and the importance of always being willing to ask for advice Want to learn more about Plaid and how they created a powerful infrastructure that changed the fintech industry? Listen to this week’s episode. 🎧 Apple: https://bit.ly/44kVNNg 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/4doaFP5

In 2022, merchants paid $126 billion in payment processing fees 👀 Plaid customers focusing on pay by bank are seeing savings range between 20% and 70%. If that’s not convincing enough, here are a few more key factors driving PBB adoption. For consumers: 💳 Younger generations are increasingly using debit over credit cards. 🛒 User experience improvements are making PBB a more popular choice. For merchants: ⏰ As instant payments become more available in the global landscape, merchants will benefit from instant settlement. ✨ A Mastercard/Visa settlement may enable merchants to use incentives for preferred payment methods. It’s a win-win for merchants AND consumers. Learn more about the rise of pay by bank in our new report with Adyen, written by the payments experts at Lipis Advisors - Global Payment Strategy 🔗 https://pla.id/3z4bfl6

🎶 Don’t blame us 🎶 for Plaid’s COO Eric Sager being both a fan of Section 1033 AND Taylor Swift. Yes, we’re also surprised we were able to combine those two things 😉 🔗 Register for Plaid Effects at the link in the comments.

Open banking, the growth of debit card usage in the U.S., and the rising cost of payments are fueling an interest in pay by bank for many merchants. A recent study by Lipis Advisors - Global Payment Strategy, Adyen and Plaid examines the success behind pay by bank adoption in different countries, and why the time is right for the U.S. and U.K. https://lnkd.in/gx8zmXNg
