Help! I can’t sign-up with Plaid:
If you’re seeing this error, it means your bank needs you to log-in to their website before Plaid can access their accounts. 💻
While this error can pop-up for all sorts of reasons, it’s never too serious or difficult to fix! 🌳
Why did I get this error?
These errors usually involve a missing piece of account information or a required change to your account ℹ️
Here are a few reasons:
1. Your institution requires you to make some change to your account like:
Agreeing to terms and conditions ✅
Entering additional account information➕
Resetting your password ✍️
2. There’s some missing information on your account:
Missing Birthdate 🎂
Missing Address 🏠
Missing Routing Number
3. Your institution requires extra configuration steps to connect to Plaid
Enabling 3rd party access 🔓
How to fix:
To fix these issues, you will need to log-in to your bank’s website 🏦
Step 1: Ensure there are no uncompleted actions
Look for task messages on your bank website 📄
eg: Reset password, agree to terms and conditions, add account information, etc.
Complete all of these required tasks ✔️
Step 2: Ensure there is no missing account information
Go to your Accounts page 👤
Look at your ‘personal details’ section.
Ensure there is no missing information.
Step 3: Allow access to Plaid
Go to your bank's Settings page ⚙️
Find “third party application” or “third party access” setting
Select “Allow”
After you complete all of these actions, you should be able to sign up.🤞🌳
This can usually all be done online, but some banks require you to call their phone number.
