Further, it ensures more reliable connections for users who grant permission to their accounts to Plaid-powered applications.

“TradeStation has remained committed to providing the best trading experience and as we continue to grow our business, account funding has been a critical success factor. Our collaboration with a leading open finance provider like Plaid takes TradeStation to the next level,” said John Bartleman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TradeStation Group, Inc. “Plaid’s expanded financial institution coverage, seamless user experience, higher funds transfer success rate and faster response times have already benefited TradeStation’s clients while positioning for future capabilities.”
