Plaid has launched the industry's first open finance platform, Plaid Exchange, to enable banks, wealth managers, and fintech firms to offer secure connections for customers to access financial apps and services. To support its implementation, Plaid is partnering with Jack Henry & Associates to provide "zero-lift" access to the Plaid network for over 350 institutions using Jack Henry's Banno Digital Platform. This partnership will enable efficient and reliable connections between financial institutions and fintech apps, maximizing efficiency and reliability at no cost to Banno clients. Additionally, Plaid is expanding its partner network with the launch of the Plaid Exchange Partner Program, which welcomes organizations interested in enhancing their capabilities by integrating with Plaid Exchange through APIs, API management platforms, software development companies, or industry groups.
