About

BioCatch's AI and machine-learning models reveal patterns in user behavior and provide device intelligence that, together, distinguish the criminal from the legitimate. The company’s Customer Innovation Board – an industry-led initiative in partnership with American Express, Barclays, Citi Ventures, HSBC, National Australia Bank, and others – collaborates to pioneer innovative ways of leveraging customer relationships for improved fraud detection. As of Q1 2026, more than 30 of the world's largest 100 banks and more than 340 total financial institutions deploy BioCatch solutions, analyzing more than 17 billion user sessions per month and protecting more than 660 million people.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Good at what it does, fairly easy to set up and offers a lot of flexible customization features for bringing people into your financial apps.
  • I have dabbled in the business side of plaid but as a customer it was easy to use. This review is more for businesses to hear what a customer thinks. I like how this works with cards. It's nice to be able to trust where you are putting your card info.
  • PLAID is quick and easy to use when connecting your bank accounts. Support response time is quick and efficient, something solutions are not found immediately though.
  • Plaid was able to integrate banks that were not currently available. The time frame was six months but the integration process happened in three months. That was great as we can offer our services to more customers. Plaid has the vast majority of major banks, not so much smaller banks and credit unions.
  • I'm a huge fan of how easy Plaid's API makes it to enable connecting different payment sources from different banks. The user logs in with the same online banking credentials they normally do, and the data stays where it's supposed to.

Cons

  • Not a lot to hate about Plaid, I think the pricing can start to creep up if you have lots of users connecting their banks.
  • Nothing major. Have had issues with Discover not being accepted randomly until try 3.
  • The back-end for companies could use some work it is very confusing. Submitting tickets are confusing and difficult. It is near impossible to get a ticket entered without having to deep dive into the transactions and finding request codes.
  • There is no search option on their website to see if the bank institution is available through plaid. This would make it easier to let customers know right away instead of creating a fake application and searching on a live application.
  • Nothing, really. From a user experience perspective Plaid's doesn't leave much to be desired.
