Frequently Asked Questions

Are there European alternatives to Plaid?
Yes, there are European alternatives to Plaid. Headquarters, hosting, encryption, and compliance are separate facts, so compare features and verify each provider's current privacy, security, and hosting documentation.
Why switch from Plaid to a European alternative?
A European provider can support procurement or data-sovereignty goals, but it does not automatically guarantee European hosting, encryption, GDPR compliance, or immunity from foreign law. Verify the provider's policies and seek legal advice where required.
Is Plaid GDPR compliant?
As a US-based company, Plaid may transfer and process your data in the United States. While they may have GDPR compliance measures, your data could still be subject to US laws including the CLOUD Act.
How do I migrate from Plaid to a European alternative?
Start by exporting your data from Plaid. Import options differ by product, so check what each alternative documents before you commit. This page shows migration difficulty only where the switch has been tested.
