Recently, ALKT facilitated direct Application Programming Interface (API) access to Plaid for its financial institution clients. Plaid, a data network supporting over 8,000 popular financial apps and services, marks a pioneering collaboration for ALKT. Notably, Alkami stands out as the first and largest major platform fully operational on Plaid’s FDX-aligned API, Core Exchange, where the majority of financial institutions are already live.
Collaborations between technology providers, such as Alkami, and platforms like Plaid are pivotal for rapidly scaling secure and reliable financial data sharing with minimal technical complexity or resource allocation. The standardization of secure data sharing assumes critical importance as clients navigate towards an open finance future.
Over 200 institutions stand to benefit from this integration through the FDX-aligned Core Exchange API from Plaid. This integration serves as a significant validation for the adoption of digital banking APIs, with Alkami leading as the first and largest major platform fully operational on the FDX-aligned API.
As this implementation gains increasing prominence in the industry, this seamless access to a spectrum of innovation-driven offerings from Plaid will bolster ALKT’s bank and credit union clients in their endeavors to compete with emerging fintechs, big tech, and megabanks.
