Good day! Today we'll be talking about Plaid.

Briefly, Plaid is an aggregator that allows you to link bank accounts instantly, without waiting for mini-deposits, which take up to three business days. So, we're already seeing the benefits of Plaid: instead of waiting three days for mini-deposits, we can actually deposit with our company, saving time.

This is what a bank's instant link looks like.

Plaid also has its downsides — or rather, not downsides, but rather a peculiarity of working with it.

This peculiarity lies in the fact that Plaid verifies names, and in some cases, SSNs and the CH's address of the private bank, which is rare, but still possible.

You might encounter the following situation: you bought an instant Plaid bank, checked the name, but for some reason, you weren't allowed to register with your company. Checking for namesakes of our private bank can help. There are services that will find namesakes, any whim for your money.
If, like me, you don't want to spend money searching for namesakes, free background services are available to help. There are many. I'll share a couple of working ones that I use: fastbackgroundcheck.com and truepeoplesearch.com. Both options are good simply because they're free. The second option is more comprehensive; it includes relatives and up-to-date email addresses — basically, everything you need.

Let's say John Doe is the name of your CH. If you can't register it with your company, you simply search for other people with the same name and do the same for them. The main goal when working with Plaid is to match the names.

I'll leave a list of current banks that are linked to Plaid as of January 2026.
ent.com - this bank has a funny story. It used to be very good, writing off large balances and generally writing them off. Now it doesn't write them off at all. It links and links, but it doesn't write them off at all. I thought the problem was that I was using different names, but after creating a couple of accounts under the CH name, the situation didn't change. I'm adding it to this list so you don't make the same mistakes and lose money buying scams. Shops don't mention this kind of thing, either because they don't know the scam they're selling, or because they know but don't want to talk about it, just to sell it.
achievacu.com is a good bank, it writes off balances and links.
afnb.com is also a good bank, I've had no problems with linking or writing off.
amfirst.org
eglinfcu.org
patelco.org
macu.com - Plaid/Online Access

Now I'll show you a company I used to work with myself. They have Plaid, high limits, and everything is as it should be. They still offer it, so everyone has the opportunity to try their hand at it.

keysavvy.com

So, the company is called keysavvy. It's a marketplace for selling cars, motorcycles, and similar vehicles without intermediaries. Transactions are conducted between people, without third parties; the platform only acts as a guarantor of the sale.

What do you need to work with this company?

You need two accounts, the first one is used to actually buy the car, helicopter, motorcycle, or airship.

This will be the account registered to the fullz of the purchased bank account, which is linked to Plaid.

The second account is needed to accept payments; it's best to choose a strong payment system, like Lili or the old Albert.

So, you get the idea, right? Register two accounts, one for payment, the other for receiving funds, and that's it.

When listing a car for sale, you may be asked to verify your DL or ID, so listing a scooter or motorcycle for 5-9k rubles is practically guaranteed to have the highest verification rates.

UPD:
It sometimes asks now, but if the account is verified, everything goes through and the payment is made. The main thing is to find a suitable approach.

I think you get the idea; there are quite a few methods for working with Plaid.
