Plaid has launched a new credit system called Plaid Income that aims to simplify the income and employment verification process for lenders. This system enables consumers to securely share their bank data, payroll information, pay stubs, or W2 forms with lenders, reducing manual errors and increasing transparency. With Plaid Income, lenders can improve their decision-making and underwriting processes by accessing accurate and reliable income data from multiple sources. The platform also provides a flexible solution that can adapt to different lender needs and use cases, allowing for better consumer conversion rates and improved lending experiences. By leveraging machine learning models and risk signaling technology, Plaid Income helps reduce data inaccuracies and detects potential fraud, ultimately making it easier for consumers to access credit and lenders to provide more inclusive financial services.
