AccelBooks integrates with Plaid, a platform that provides seamless access to bank account and credit card data. This integration enables AccelBooks to harness financial data directly from banks, enhancing the functionality of our financial solutions.

​
Overview

Plaid provides APIs that connect to various financial institutions, allowing businesses to access a wide range of bank account and credit card data securely. By integrating with Plaid, AccelBooks enhances its ability to offer comprehensive financial analytics, automate accounting processes, and provide deeper financial insights tailored to the needs of businesses.
