Instead of directly through their website, you would typically interact with Plaid through a third-party app or website. Once you download the app and set it up, you can start the process of connecting your personal or business accounts to the app. Plaid is there to guide you through connecting your accounts to the desired app using the Plaid platform. Once the connection is set up through Plaid, you will be able to use your chosen apps or sites without being redirected to your financial institution’s website.
