Plaid Integration in Cardiff
Integrating Plaid for Cardiff organisations accessing bank data, where the regulatory position needs establishing before the build. Accessing account information on a customer's behalf is a regulated activity in the UK — so whether you rely on the provider's permissions or need your own is a question for advice rather than an implementation detail.
Why this comes up
The problem
The product plan assumes bank data can be read once a customer connects, with no view on whose permissions cover it.
What you get
What we deliver
- The regulatory position established with advice before development begins
- Consent captured and its expiry handled, since access is time-limited
- Re-authentication designed into the experience rather than presented as an error
- Data minimised to what the product genuinely needs from each account
- Retention decided deliberately, as this is sensitive financial information
- Connection failures handled, because banks change and links break

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Plaid Integration in Cardiff — common questions
- Do we need our own permissions?
- It depends on your model, and it is a question for advice rather than assumption. Accessing account information for customers is a regulated activity, and whether you rely on a provider's permissions or hold your own affects both your obligations and your timeline.
- Why does access expire?
- Because consent is time-limited by design. Customers reauthorise periodically, so a product treating a connection as permanent will find data silently stops arriving — and the experience of asking someone to reconnect is worth designing rather than leaving as a failure state.
- How much data should we request?
- The minimum the product needs. Requesting broad access to transaction history because it might be useful is both a customer objection at the consent screen and a larger amount of sensitive data to protect — narrower requests convert better and carry less risk.
- What happens when a connection breaks?
- It needs handling as an expected state. Banks change their interfaces, credentials change and consents lapse, so a product depending on continuous access needs a path back — notifying the customer and making reconnection straightforward rather than silently degrading.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
