    February 2024

    For Auth:

    • Released the Text Message Verification flow for Same-Day Micro-deposits. This new, non-breaking change can increase conversion of micro-deposit verification by up to 15%. Currently, Text Message Verification is opt-in, and will transition to opt-out in March.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added a large number of additional linked_services enum values.

    For Investments:

    • Added vested_quantity and vested_value fields to the holdings object.

    For Liabilities:

    • Added the pending idr status for student loans to reflect loans with a pending application for income-driven repayments.

    For Transfer:

    • Added fields including wire_details and wire_routing_number, and wire as a supported network, to support wire transfers. If you are interested in using wire transfers with Transfer, contact your Account Manager or (if you are not yet a customer) Sales.
    • Increased maximum length of description field on /transfer/intent/create from 8 to 15.

    For Signal:

    • Added warnings array to /signal/evaluate response even if no warnings are present in order to match documented API behavior.
    January 2024
    • Expanded the Remember Me Link flow to more customers. For more details on Remember Me, including the associated Link events, see Remember Me.
    • Added events field to /link/token/get to capture Link events.
    • Made the persistent_account_id field available in GA to all customers. The persistent_account_id field is a special field, available only for Chase Items. Because Chase accounts have a different account number each time they are linked, this field may be used instead of the account number to uniquely identify a Chase account across multiple Items for payments use cases, helping to reduce duplicate Items or attempted fraud.
    • Released the USER_ACCOUNT_REVOKED webhook in GA to all customers, to complement the existing USER_PERMISSION_REVOKED webhook, but capturing account-level revocation rather than Item-level revocation. The USER_ACCOUNT_REVOKED webhook is sent only for Chase Items and is primarily intended for payments use cases. The webhook indicates that the TAN associated with the revoked account is no longer valid and cannot be used to create new transfers.

    For Auth:

    • Added support for the Stripe Payment Intents API. For more details, see Add Stripe to your App.

    For Assets:

    • Added vested_quantity and vested_value fields to the Investments object within the Asset Report.
    • Added margin_loan_amount field to the Balance object within the Asset Report.

    For Enrich:

    • Added counterparty phone_number to the /transactions/enrich response.

    For Income:

    • Added the ability to filter the results of /credit/payroll_income/get and /credit/bank_statements/uploads/get to only certain Items, via an optional item_ids request field.
    • Added num_1099s_uploaded to the document_income_results object in /credit/sessions/get response.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added new no_data type to name and date_of_birth fields in documentary_verification.documents[].analysis.extracted_data in the response of all of the Identity Verification endpoints.
    • Made street and city optional in the address attribute of /identity_verification/create.

    For Payment Initiation:

    • Added optional scope and reference fields to /payment_initiation/consent/payment/execute.

    For Transactions:

    • Added a new Sandbox test user, user_transactions_dynamic. When logging into Sandbox with this username, you will see more realistic, dynamic Sandbox transactions data, including a wider variety of transaction types, and transactions moving between pending and posted state.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added available balance to balance object in /wallet/get and /wallet/list.

    For Partners:

    • Added /processor/liabilities/get endpoint.
    • Added optional registration_number to /partner/customer/create request.
    December 2023
    • Announced the upcoming removal of the Development environment. To simplify the development process, Plaid will be replacing the Development environment with the ability to test with real data for free directly in Production. On June 20, 2024, the Plaid Development environment will be decommissioned, and all Development Items will be removed. You may continue to test on the Development environment until this time.
    • Capital One now provides real-time balance data for depository accounts, including checking and savings accounts. It is no longer necessary to include min_last_updated_datetime when making /accounts/balance/get calls for these accounts.

    For Investments:

    • Added market_identifier_code to the security object.
    • Added option_contract to the security object, adding additional details contract_type, expiration_date, strike_price, and underlying_security_ticker for better insight into derivatives.
    November 2023

    For Identity:

    • Released Identity Match and the /identity/match/ endpoint to General Availability.

    For Income:

    • Expanded /sandbox/income/fire_webhook to support the INCOME_VERIFICATION_RISK_SIGNALS webhook, adding a new webhook_code parameter to the endpoint.

    For Transfer Platform Payments (beta):

    • Added /transfer/ledger/distribute endpoint, as well as a facilitator_fee field to /transfer/create, both of which can be used to collect payments from end customers.
    • Removed support for doc and docx format files in /transfer/diligence/document/upload.

    For Transfer:

    • Updated default Sandbox behavior of Ledger. Ledgers in Sandbox will now have a $100 default balance.

    For Transactions:

    • Added the days_requested field to /transactions/sync and /transactions/get under the options object, and to /link/token/create under the transactions object to support a behavior change in the Transactions product. For all new customers who created accounts after December 3, 2024 the maximum number of days of historical data requested from transactions endpoints will default to 90 days if the days_requested field is not specified. This change will also be applied to existing customers on June 24, 2024. To change the amount of historical data requested, use the days_requested field when Transactions is first added to your Item.

    For Partners:

    • Added /processor/signal/prepare
    • Added /processor/transactions/get
    • Make products field in /partner/customers/create optional. If empty or null, this field will default to the products enabled for the partner.
    October 2023
    • Chase has extended the September 30 deadline for migrating away from in-process webviews. The new cutoff date will be in mid-January 2024. All impacted customers should migrate by January 1, 2024 to avoid a negative impact on Link conversion. See the deprecation notice for more details.

    • Added Belgium as a supported country.

    For Auth:

    • Added an instant_microdeposits_enabled flag to /link/token/create to allow customers to disable Instant Micro-deposits. By default, Instant Micro-deposits will be enabled for all sessions.

    For Income:

    • Released Document Fraud to General Availability.
    • Added /credit/payroll_income/parsing_config/update, allowing users of Document Fraud to update the parsing configuration used for document income.
    • Deprecated the /credit/payroll_income/precheck endpoint.

    For Investments:

    • Added the investments.allow_manual_entry parameter in /link/token/create and the corresponding is_investments_fallback_item field to /investments/transactions/get and /investments/holdings/get. Enabling manual entry allows a user to create an investments fallback Item for a non-supported institution by manually entering their holdings in Link.
    • Extended the deadline beyond which Plaid customers will need a CGS license to obtain cusip and isin data. The new deadline is March 2024.

    For Transactions:

    • Added counterparties, logo_url, and website information about merchants (previously available only via Enrich) to /transactions/sync and /transactions/get data.

    For Transfer:

    • Added new methods to fund your Plaid Ledger. In addition to the /transfer/ledger/deposit and /transfer/ledger/withdraw endpoints, you can now initiate a funds transfer via the Dashboard, set up a recurring schedule or minimum balance by contacting Support, or fund your ledger via ACH or wire transfer from your bank account.
    • Made Plaid Ledger the default method for funding transfers for all new Transfer customers. Plaid Ledger allows faster funds transfers and is now the easiest way to move money between your bank account and Plaid. Existing customers who want to switch to Plaid Ledger should contact their Plaid Account Manager.
    • Added /sandbox/transfer/refund/simulate to test refunds in the Sandbox environment.
    • Added refund-specific event types. These are existing event types with the prefix refund., e.g. refund.settled.
    • For /transfer/configuration/get, stopped returning max_single_transfer_amount and max_monthly_amount. To maintain compatibility with older client libraries, these fields will still be present in the API, but will be blank strings.
    • For /transfer/metrics/get, stopped returning monthly_transfer_volume. To maintain compatibility with older client libraries, this field will still be present in the API, but will be a blank string.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added RETURN as possible Virtual Account wallet transaction type.
    September 2023
    • Added the LOGIN_REPAIRED webhook. This webhook will fire when an Item's status transitions from ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED to a healthy state, without the user having used the update mode flow in your app.

    • Added Update Mode Product Validations (beta). Update Mode Product Validations (UMPV) allows you to validate that a user going through update mode at an OAuth institution has selected the appropriate authorizations to enable Auth and/or Identity. If they do not select the correct options, they will be prompted to update their selections.

    • Added Optional Products. If a product is specified in the optional_products field when calling /link/token/create, the product will be added to the Item if possible. However, if the product cannot be added to the Item -- for example, because the Item is not supported by the institution, the user did not grant the correct OAuth permissions, or because of an institution connectivity error for that product -- Item creation will still succeed with the other products specified.

    • Added institution_not_supported as a potential Link session exit metadata status.

      For Auth:

    • Added Instant Micro-Deposits, allowing end users to verify their accounts in seconds, using micro-deposits sent over RTP or FedNow rails. Instant Micro-Deposits can be used as a faster alternative to Same-Day Micro-Deposits at supported institutions.

      For Assets:

    • Deprecated report_type field used in /asset_report/create, and replaced it with verification_report_type. This change was made to avoid confusion with the existing report_type field used to by the PRODUCT_READY webhook to distinguish between Fast Asset Reports and Full Asset Reports.

    For Signal:

    • Launched the Signal Dashboard to help customers monitor return rates and tune Signal risk score thresholds.

    For Transactions:

    • Made Personal Finance Categories returned by default for all users. Personal Finance Categories are Plaid's newest and most accurate way of categorizing transactions, using more intuitive categories that correspond better to personal finance management use cases.

    For Transfer:

    • Launched Transfer from beta to Early Availability (EA) status.
    • Added support for FedNow payments, which can be accessed by specifying rtp as the payment network.
    • Added Plaid Ledger. Your Plaid Ledger allows you to maintain a funds balance with Plaid, which can be used to fund payouts over FedNow and RTP rails. You can use APIs to move money in and our of your Ledger.
    • Removed Payment Profiles; access tokens are now the only supported mechanisms for connecting accounts on Transfer.
    • Removed beacon_id, as it was used only to support Guarantee. Guarantee is no longer offered and will be replaced by a more sophisticated set of risk management tools within Transfer.

    For Income:

    • Updated API docs to reflect "NOT LISTED" as a potential value for marital_status.

    For Statements (beta):

    • Released Statements in beta. Statements allows you to retrieve an exact PDF copy of a customer's statement at supported institutions.
    August 2023

    For Enrich:

    • Added frequency field to recurring transactions to indicate the recurrence frequency.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added area_code match status to the responses of the /identity_verification/get and /identity_verification/list endpoints.

    For Income:

    • Added a number of new categories for Payroll Income canonical_description field: ALLOWANCE, BEREAVEMENT, HOLIDAY_PAY, JURY_DUTY, LEAVE, LONG_TERM_DISABILITY_PAY, MILITARY_PAY, PER_DIEM, REFERRAL_BONUS, REIMBURSEMENTS, RETENTION_BONUS, RETROACTIVE_PAY, SEVERANCE_PAY, SHIFT_DIFFERENTIAL, SHORT_TERM_DISABILITY_PAY, SICK_PAY, SIGNING_BONUS, and TIPS_INCOME. Also made null a valid value.
    • Added status field to /credit/payroll_income/risk_signals/get to show the status of evaluated documents.
    • Added payroll_income.parsing_config to /link/token/create to expose configuration options for risk signal evaluation.

    For Liabilities:

    • Added saving on a valuable education (SAVE) as a student loan repayment plan type.

    For Signal:

    • Added the ability to change an initiated status reported via /signal/decision/report. Previously, attempting to change the status of a reported decision that was originally reported as initiated would result in an INVALID_FIELD error; now it is allowed.

    For Transfer:

    • Added failure_reason to refund objects to indicate why a Transfer refund failed.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added failure_reason to /wallet/transaction/get and /wallet/transaction/list endpoints to indicate why a wallet transaction failed.
    July 2023
    • Added /processor/token/webhook/update endpoint to allow customers using processor partners to update the webhook endpoint associated with a processor token.

    For Assets:

    • Made asset_report_token optional in /asset_report/get request to support future development of Asset Reports based on other types of tokens.

    For Investments:

    • Added the async_update option for /investments/transactions/get, along with an accompanying HISTORICAL_UPDATE webhook. If async_update is enabled, the initial call to /investments/transactions/get for an Item will be made as an async call with a webhook, similar to /transactions/get.

    For Enrich:

    • Added confidence_level to counterparty and personal_finance_category fields.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added date_of_birth and address fields to documentary_verification.documents[].extracted_data in the response of all Identity Verification endpoints.
    • Mark all region and postal_code fields as nullable, to better support countries that do not use these fields.

    For Transfer:

    • Added transfer_id and status filters to /transfer/sweep/list request.
    • Added status field to the sweep object.
    June 2023
    • Added the required_if_supported_products field to /link/token/create. When using multiple Plaid products, you can use this field to specify products that must be enabled when the user's institution and account type support them, while still allowing users to add Items if the institution or linked account doesn't support these products. If a product in this field cannot be enabled at a compatible institution (for example, because the user failed to grant the required OAuth permissions, generating an ACCESS_NOT_GRANTED error), the Item will not be created, and the user will be prompted to try again in the Link flow.

    • Changed the behavior of the oauth field on the institution object. Previously, oauth would be true only if all Items at an institution used OAuth connections. Now, oauth is true if any Items at an institution use OAuth connections.

    • Changed the behavior of the account_selection_enabled flag in /link/token/create. To improve conversion, at institutions that provide OAuth account selection flows, this flag will be overridden and treated as though it were always true. For other institutions, the flag behavior is unchanged.

    For Auth:

    • Added the ability to customize Same-day Microdeposit flows via the new reroute_to_credentials option in /link/token/create. Using this field, you can detect whether a user is attempting to use Same-day Microdeposits to add an institution that is supported via a direct Plaid connection, and optionally either require or recommend that they use a direct connection instead.

    For Enrich:

    • Added income_source enum to counterparty_type field.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added the ability to prefill user data when retrying a verification by providing a user object to /identity_verification/retry.
    • Added client_user_id field to /identity_verification/create. It is recommended to use this field instead of user.client_user_id, although both fields are supported.

    For Income:

    • Added num_bank_statements_uploaded to document_income_results object in /credit/sessions/get.

    For Signal:

    • Removed the maximum length constraint for client_user_id when calling /signal/evaluate or /processor/signal/evaluate.

    For Transfer:

    • Added the ability to specify a test_clock_id when calling /sandbox/transfer/sweep/simulate or /sandbox/transfer/simulate. If provided, the simulated action will take place at the virtual_time of the given test clock.
    • Made the virtual_time field optional when calling /sandbox/transfer/test_clock/create. If a time is not provided, the current time will be used.
    • Updated the sweep_id format to be either a UUID or an 8-character hexadecimal string.
    • Made next_origination_date nullable in the recurring transfer object.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added address and date of birth to /wallet/transaction/execute.
    • Added payment scheme (scheme) to /wallet/transaction/get and /wallet/transaction/list.
    May 2023

    For Assets:

    • Added support for ASSETS: PRODUCT_READY and ASSETS: ERROR webhooks to /sandbox/item/fire_webhook

    For Identity:

    • Added is_business_name_detected to the /identity/match endpoint

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added the selfie_check field to the Income Verification object, to report the status of a selfie check.

    For Document Income:

    • Added the INCOME_VERIFICATION_RISK_SIGNALS webhook to indicate when /credit/payroll_income/risk_signals/get is ready to be called.

    For Transfers:

    • Increased the maximum length of the description field in /transfer/create to 15 characters.
    • Added the /transfer/balance/get endpoint.
    • To support prefunded credit processing, added the credit_funds_source field to distinguish between credits based on sweeps, RTP credit balances, and ACH credit balances, and made the funding_account_id field nullable.

    For Processor partners:

    • Added /processor/token/permissions/set and /processor/token/permissions/get endpoints.
    • Added /processor/identity/match endpoint to allow Processor partners to support the new beta Identity Match feature.

    For Signal:

    • Added a warnings object to the /processor/signal/evaluate response.
    April 2023

    For Income:

    • Added STARTED and INTERNAL_ERROR statuses to /credit/sessions/get.

    For Document Income:

    • Released the /credit/payroll_income/risk_signals/get endpoint. This endpoint can be used as part of the Document Income flow to assess a user-uploaded document for signs of potential fraud or tampering.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Documented several fields in the user object of /link/token/create as being officially supported methods of pre-filling user data in Link for the Identity Verification flow, as an alternative to /identity_verification/create. (While this worked in the past, it was not previously an officially supported or documented flow.) As part of this change, un-deprecated the user.date_of_birth field.

    For Enrich:

    • Added recurrence and is_recurring fields to /transactions/enrich.
    March 2023
    • To maximize conversion, updated Link to use a pop-up window for OAuth authentication rather than redirects on non-webview mobile web flows.
    • Clarified that continue(from:) is no longer required for iOS OAuth integrations using Plaid's iOS and React Native iOS SDKs.
    • Updated error codes for most RATE_LIMIT errors to be specific to the endpoint for which they apply.

    For Auth:

    • Changed the Link UI for Instant Match and Automated Micro-deposits flows to increase conversion by reducing the number of screens in the flow and removing unnecessary input fields. No developer action is required as a result of this change.

    For Transactions:

    • Added ANNUALLY as a possible frequency for recurring transactions in /transactions/recurring/get.

    For Identity:

    • Added /identity/match (beta) to simplify the process of using Identity for account ownership verification. /identity/match allows you to send user information such as name, address, email, and phone number, and returns a match score indicating how closely that data matches information on file with the financial institution, so that you no longer have to implement similarity matching logic on your own. /identity/match is currently in closed beta; to request access, contact your Account Manager or contact Sales.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added risk_check object to Identity Verification API responses to provide more detail about the factors that influenced the risk check result.

    For Assets:

    • Released Fast Assets functionality to General Availability (GA). With Fast Assets, you can create a Fast Asset Report with partial information (current balance and identity data) in about half the time as a Full Asset Report, then request the Full Asset Report later. Fast Assets is available free of charge to all Assets customers. For more information, see the Assets API reference.
    • Added the optional days_to_include field to /asset_report/get requests. This field allows you to optionally reduce the number of days displayed in an Asset Report, to improve usability for human reviewers.
    • Added Freddie Mac as an audit copy token partner with auditor_id: freddie_mac.
    • Added credit_category (beta) to transactions data returned by Asset Reports with Insights, describing the category of the transaction. Access to this field is in closed beta; to request access, contact your Account Manager.

    For Income:

    • Added support for bank_employment_results data to /credit/sessions/get. Employment functionality is currently in closed beta; for more details, contact your Account Manager.

    For Signal:

    • Added warnings field to /signal/evaluate response.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added transaction_id to the Payment Initiation PAYMENT_STATUS_UPDATE webhook. This field will be present only when a payment was initiated using Virtual Accounts.
    • Added payment_id and wallet_id to the WALLET_TRANSACTION_STATUS_UPDATE webhook.
    February 2023
    • Added the persistent_account_id field (beta) to the account object. The persistent_account_id field identifies an account across multiple instances of the same Item, for use with Chase Items only, to simplify the management of Chase duplicate Item behavior. Access to this field is currently in closed beta; for more details, contact your Account Manager.

    For Assets:

    • Beginning March 31, 2023, Assets will be updated to return investment, instead of brokerage, as the account type for investment accounts. brokerage may still be returned as an account sub-type under the investment account type.

    For Income:

    • Added employment value to the products array for /link/token/create. Employment functionality is currently in closed beta; for more details, contact your account manager.

    For Identity Verification:

    • Added redacted_at field in Identity Verification response and Documentary Verification Document component.

    For Transfer:

    • Added the ability to specify a payment network (either ach or same-day-ach) when calling /transfer/intent/create.

    For reseller partners:

    • Added income_verification and employment as supported products for /partner/customer/create. Employment functionality is currently in closed beta.
    • Added the ability to specify redirect_uris to /partner/customer/create.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Increased the minimum length of the reference field for /wallet/transaction/execute to 6 characters.
    • To improve usability, added wallet_id field to /wallet/transaction/get and /wallet/transaction/list responses and to the WALLET_TRANSACTION_STATUS_UPDATE webhook.

    For Payment Initiation:

    • Increased the minimum length of the reference field for /payment_initiation/payment/reverse to 6 characters.
    • To improve usability, added transaction_id field to the PAYMENT_STATUS_UPDATE webhook. This field will be populated when the payment status is PAYMENT_STATUS_SETTLED.
    • Removed the deprecated options.wallet_id field from /payment_initiation/payment/create and /payment_initiation/consent/create.

    For Signal:

    • Added signal to the products array. For most current Signal customers, Signal is automatically enabled for all of their Items; over time, Signal will be moving to a model similar to Plaid's other products, in which customers instead initialize an Item with signal by adding signal to the products array when calling /link/token/create.
    January 2023
    • Released Plaid React Native SDK 9.0.0 and Plaid iOS SDK 4.1.0. All iOS integrations must upgrade to these SDKs by June 30, 2023 in order to maintain support for Chase OAuth flows on iOS. Any integrations using webviews will also be required to update their webview handlers by June 30, 2023. For more details on required webview updates, see the OAuth Guide.
    • Released improvements to the Returning User Experience (RUX): removing the requirement to provide a verified time for phone numbers and email addresses, making RUX flows available for more products, and adding Institution Boosting, which automatically surfaces institutions a user has previously linked to Plaid in the Link flow. Enabling RUX can increase conversion by 8% or more. For more details on how to enable RUX, see Returning User Experience documentation.

    For Auth:

    • Updated Same-Day Micro-deposits to make a single one-cent micro-deposit, which will not be reversed, rather than multiple micro-deposits. This change will reduce costs and decrease the incentive for micro-deposit fraud. No changes are required on the part of developers to support this change. This change will automatically be rolled out to customers over the next several months.

    For Transfer:

    • Added expected_settlement_date field to the Transfer object.
    • Added funding_account_id field to clarify which account is used to fund a transfer. This field replaces the older origination_account_id.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added status field to Wallet schema.

    For Partners:

    • Added PARTNER_END_CUSTOMER_OAUTH_STATUS_UPDATED webhook.
    December 2022

    For Auth:

    • Announced upcoming Instant Match automatic enrollment to existing customers who have not yet been enabled for Instant Match by default. Instant Match is a higher-converting experience for Link that expands Auth coverage to more end users. All customers will be enabled for Instant Match by default unless they opt-out by January 19, 2023, which they can do by contacting their Account Manager.

    For Assets:

    • Released relay tokens to beta, along with associated endpoints /credit/relay/create, /credit/relay/get, /credit/relay/refresh, and /credit/relay/remove. Relay tokens support sharing of Asset Reports with customers' authorized service providers, such as underwriters.

    For Income:

    • For /credit/bank_income/get, deprecated amount, iso_currency_code, and unofficial_currency_code at top levels in response in favor of new total_amounts field. This change enables more accurate reporting of income for users with income in multiple different currencies.
    • Added new possible values to rate_of_pay field returned by /credit/payroll_income/get: WEEKLY, BI_WEEKLY, MONTHLY, SEMI_MONTHLY, DAILY, and COMMISSION.
    • Added new pay_basis field to the response of /credit/payroll_income/get.

    For Virtual Accounts:

    • Added FUNDS_SWEEP as a possible transaction type.

    For Transfer:

    • Added /transfer/capabilities/get endpoint to provide information about which Items support Real Time Payments (RTP)
    • Added endpoints /transfer/originator/get, /transfer/originator/list, /transfer/originator/create, and /transfer/questionnaire/create to support marketplaces and reseller partners in creating and managing transfer originators.
    • Added the ability to create and manage recurring transfers. API changes include the new endpoints /transfer_recurring/create, /transfer/recurring/cancel, /transfer/recurring/get, and /transfer/recurring/list, as well as the new webhooks RECURRING_NEW_TRANSFER, RECURRING_TRANSFER_SKIPPED, and RECURRING_CANCELLED, and the test endpoints /sandbox/transfer/test_clock/create, /sandbox/transfer/test_clock/advance, /sandbox/transfer/test_clock/get, and /sandbox/transfer/test_clock/list.

    For Enrich:

    • Released Enrich to Early Availability. Enrich access is now available by default in Sandbox. For details on requesting access to use Enrich with real data, see the Enrich documentation.
    • Added support for legacy categories, using categories from /categories/get, in addition to the newer personal_finance_category schema.
    • Renamed counterparty type delivery_marketplace to marketplace and added counterparty type payment_terminal.

    For the Reseller Partner API:

    • Added /partner/customer/oauth_institutions/get endpoint to provide OAuth-institution registration information to Reseller Partners.
    November 2022
    • Released Signal to general availability. Signal uses machine learning techniques to evaluate a proposed ACH transaction and determine the likelihood that the transaction will be reversed. It also provides fields and insights that you can incorporate into your own data models. By using the Signal API, you can release funds earlier to optimize your user experience while managing the risk of ACH returns.

    For Auth:

    • Enabled Instant Match by default for most existing customers.
