Stash, a popular investing app in the US, has boosted its deposits by 19% after partnering with Plaid, an external provider that enables users to securely link their outside financial accounts. To address slow and error-prone microdeposits and a low conversion rate, Stash sought a simpler alternative. By integrating with Plaid, Stash can now provide customers with easy access to its suite of products, including investing, banking, education, and financial advice, at an affordable membership starting at just $1 a month. This integration has significantly improved the onboarding experience for millions of Americans who want to invest in themselves but may not know where to start.
