    This week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released the final 1033 rule which ensures strong data rights for consumers in financial services. Plaid was founded on the belief that consumers should have a right to access and share their financial data to get the financial products that work for them. Here’s how we’re already helping customers and data partners navigate this regulatory shift: 💡 We introduced solutions for our customers to help with authorization management, record retention, and risk management that will align to the final rule. 💡 We launched an FDX-aligned Open Finance solution suite that enables financial institutions to more easily migrate to API connectivity, support risk management, and ensure insight into consumer connections across the Plaid Network.  💡 We’ve put consumers in control of their data with solutions like Plaid Portal, which helps consumers view and control connections they’ve made through Plaid. More updates to come as we continue to analyze the final rule, connect with customers, and tailor our products to build a more open financial ecosystem.

    🎉 Empowering Renters Through Embedded Finance 🎉 At Livble, we’re on a mission to make renting more accessible, manageable, and inclusive for everyone. By empowering tenants to split their rent into smaller, more manageable installments directly through their trusted resident portal, we’re transforming rent from a financial burden into a seamless, user-friendly process. Our partnership with Plaid has been instrumental in achieving this vision. By leveraging Plaid’s open banking data, we’ve redefined how we assess tenant eligibility, moving beyond outdated credit scores to focus on real-time cash flow insights. This approach allows us to align rent payments with tenants’ unique financial situations and build a more inclusive housing ecosystem. 💡Key Results: - A 25% reduction in false positives compared to relying solely on credit scores. - Approval rates that are 3x higher, while maintaining the same default rates as traditional credit-score-only models. - Tenants enjoy greater flexibility, improved approval odds, and the opportunity to build meaningful credit. In a space often underserved by fintech, Livble and Plaid are unlocking the power of data to deliver impactful solutions for renters, landlords, and property managers alike. We’re proud to be pioneering this journey and grateful for partners like Plaid who share our commitment to creating a financially inclusive future. To the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e9KW_RHK
