Happy to share that we've closed a ~$575m round led by Franklin Templeton, alongside Fidelity, Blackrock, NEA, Ribbit, etc. The past few years have been a major period of expansion for Plaid. Excited for these new investors and all that lies ahead!.
✨Today we announced that we’ve raised ~$575M led by Franklin Templeton, with participation from Fidelity, @NEA, @RibbitCap, and more. The proceeds will address employee tax withholding obligations related to expiring RSUs and offer some liquidity to our team.
