Build applications that use Plaid
Evonx does not claim an official Plaid partnership. Build financial features that link bank accounts through Plaid Link and server-side API calls—with secrets and compliance controls remaining in your environment.
What Plaid is
Plaid connects applications to users’ bank accounts for auth, balances, transactions, and payment rails.
Evonx helps you build applications that use Plaid APIs — this page does not claim an official partnership unless one is explicitly stated.
What you can build
- Bank account linking for payouts
- Balance checks before transfers
- Transaction import for expense apps
- Identity verification-assisted onboarding
Application types
Fintech
Expense products
Marketplaces
Technical considerations
- Never expose secret keys; exchange public tokens server-side
- Handle Item webhooks for login repairs
- Understand product entitlements (Auth, Transactions, Identity) per use case

FAQ
Where does the public_token exchange happen?
Always on your server after Plaid Link succeeds; store access_tokens encrypted at rest.
What is an Item error webhook?
Banks occasionally require re-authentication—webhooks tell you to prompt the user through Link update mode.
Is Plaid a payment processor?
Plaid connects accounts and can enable payments via partners; card charging usually still goes through Stripe or similar.
