What to do when Plaid is down
- A Plaid outage can affect many fintech apps simultaneously (Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase) — the issue may not be with the app you are using.
- If you cannot link a bank account, wait for the outage to resolve rather than re-entering credentials repeatedly.
- Check status.plaid.com for incident details and affected institutions.
- Report the outage on this page to help other users confirm the problem.
Common Plaid outage causes
Plaid outages have cascading effects across the fintech ecosystem since hundreds of apps (Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase) depend on Plaid for bank connectivity. Institution-specific failures are more common than full platform outages.

FAQ
What is Plaid?
Plaid is a fintech infrastructure company that connects consumer bank accounts to financial apps for payments, identity verification, and account data access.
Why is Plaid not working?
Plaid outages have cascading effects across the fintech ecosystem since hundreds of apps (Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase) depend on Plaid for bank connectivity. Institution-specific failures are more common than full platform outages. Compare the current OutageHQ status, recent checks, user reports, and official sources before assuming the issue affects everyone.
What should I do if Plaid is down?
A Plaid outage can affect many fintech apps simultaneously (Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase) — the issue may not be with the app you are using. If you cannot link a bank account, wait for the outage to resolve rather than re-entering credentials repeatedly. Check status.plaid.com for incident details and affected institutions.
Why is Plaid not connecting to my bank?
A Plaid bank connection problem does not always mean Plaid is fully down. The issue may involve a specific financial institution, the app using Plaid, login credentials, multi-factor authentication, or an institution-level connection that is degraded or down.
