Summary

Plaid is continually improving its `Link` platform with two new enhancements: comprehensive account type/subtype filtering and improved error messaging. The former allows developers to filter specific account types or subtypes, making it easier for users to link institutions that match their needs. This feature can be used to customize the user experience, such as by showing only depository accounts or checking accounts. The latter updates provide more actionable insights and instructions for users when encountering errors, encouraging them to troubleshoot issues rather than simply being told that an institution cannot be connected.
