Current, a fintech offering financial services such as savings, early payday deposits and a debit card, on Tuesday opened its 4-million-member platform via an API, with the first integration being Plaid’s financial ecosystem.

Current’s API platform was built to facilitate integrations for its customers with other fintechs, allowing for other embedded banking experiences, a Current spokesperson told Bank Automation News.

The fintech chose Plaid as its first partner so Current members could have a “credential-less open finance experience,” according to the announcement.

The integration enables data access and the ability for Current users to link their accounts to other tools or applications they use to manage their finances, a Plaid spokesperson told BAN.
