Excited to ship 2 new features in our Beacon anti-fraud product. 1: Data breach reports. See when your users' personal data shows up in data breaches 2: Search by account + routing number These two products will be free to new & existing customers. https://t.co/Rlp1b4NRbi

Some of my favorite key features: 🔑 Next-level user authentication, powered by direct-to-carrier SIM authentication, our ML models for thwarting bad actors, Passkeys for seamless login, and our network of trusted devices 📊 You can make sure that only users who have *exactly

1. 📱 You send us your user's phone number when they're signing up for your service. From that, Plaid tells you whether that user is in the Plaid network 2. ⚡ In-network users are given the choice to sign up instantly with Plaid. Layer authenticates the user, and then presents

Today, we're announcing something very simple: Sign up with Plaid. That “simple” thing increases end-to-end sign up rates by 10 - 25%, and we're calling it Plaid Layer. Here’s how we give you the Internet’s fastest, highest converting financial onboarding experience 🧵

We’re so back

Junior manager mistake: the goal of a leader isn't to make your team happy It's to make them feel like the company is winning, and that they're contributing to that. Happiness usually follows, but is not the goal in and of itself.

gimme that imax google doc. im ready to mainline product review documents. snort engineering specs and engulf my vision in insightful google comments starting with "I would like to challenge you all to think holistically about..."

Purely “revenue” or “impact” oriented product management has zero passion for making great things. Your product will always be boring, and your customers will never love what you’ve built

The health of your product and engineering organization is inversely proportional to the time it takes to ship a feature like dark mode

I’m done designing vanilla user interfaces. They’re a solved problem. Easy. Give me SwiftUI Metal shaders, 3D spaces, and mix-blend-mode textures with lighting effects

The concept of having people at your company who are very competent and have 0 fear of being fired is extremely underrated. There’s a reason they can get so much more done than those who are optimizing for optics

Holy shit I'm designing with inner shadows, bezels, button gradients, and depth again for the first time since 2012 We're so back

Most product managers are painfully mid. The only PMs who break out exhibit at least one of the following: - Design ability - Coding skills - Deep GTM execution skills - 99th percentile taste Otherwise, they’re destined for a career of filling out Google Docs

It’s almost like we realized that product design adulterated with business school dogma was a bad idea

Competent people just want to do great work. Keeping incompetent people around isn't just neutral, it signals to the competent people that their distinguished effort isn't appreciated and will naturally drive them out

Verify once, verify anywhere. Read about it on the @Plaid blog :) https://t.co/UTKVfmrOFs

We handle everything from allowing users to add multiple IDs to their account (have a drivers license and a passport?), to updating their details if they move. And then we secure it behind the best anti-fraud tech available https://t.co/sbtmNyMEB3

This feature is deceptively simple. Under the hood we do a lot to make this seamless for businesses + users without requiring *any integration or process changes required* for either party. It's an order of magnitude improvement on the ID verification experience.

The history (and future) of ID verification: 2008 - 2014: Credit bureau checks + "what color was your Nissan?" 2014 - 2020: ID doc and selfie checks popularized by crypto exchanges 2020 - 2023: Phone-based identity + auth 2023+: Plaid Remember Me https://t.co/lsuMYFWWNn

Really excited to share Plaid "Remember Me." With this new feature, customers can store their identity with Plaid and reuse it anywhere else Plaid is used for identity verification. Cuts verification time down by 50% and significantly improves conversion!
