Coverage depends on market, product, and account permissions. [View integration status](https://docs.amlok.io/integrations/status.md). | Property | Definition | | - | - | | Provider ID | BANK-02 | | Integration status | Active (Beta) | | Category | Bank Integrations | | Product type | Bank-data aggregator - Canada | | Evidence reviewed | 2026-10-22 | ## Integration approach Plaid Link plus server APIs for Canadian institutions. Country matrix lists Transactions, Balance, Auth, Identity, Assets and Income; Liabilities has limited coverage. Plaid Check / Partner Insights is not listed for Canada. Validate institution, product and business-account coverage. ## Access and approval Full Production: a few business days after company and use-case review, per Plaid; not a guaranteed SLA. Eligible US/CA Trial applications are usually auto-approved; manual-review follow-up is 2–3 business days. Trial is limited; paid products and institution permissions require the relevant access. **Documentation availability:** Public API reference, SDKs, Link guides and Sandbox. Canadian coverage can be checked through the Institutions API. ## Data refresh **Provider update cadence:** Typically 1-4 transaction updates per day. Plaid typically checks transactions 1-4 times daily, depending on the institution. The `SYNC_UPDATES_AVAILABLE` webhook signals changes that can be retrieved with `/transactions/sync`. On-demand `/transactions/refresh` requires the separately enabled add-on and supported accounts. Reading cached data does not refresh the bank connection. Timing varies by institution and connection health. **AMLOK synchronization:** The enabled refresh mode and schedule are agreed for your connection. Provider timing describes upstream capability; allow for retrieval and processing before changes appear in AMLOK. See [data refresh and freshness](https://docs.amlok.io/integrations/data-refresh.md). Provider references: [Plaid Transactions API](https://plaid.com/docs/api/products/transactions/). ## Data reference Open a resource to review its field definitions. Available fields depend on the connected product, account permissions, and source data. | Resource | | - | | [bank\_account](https://docs.amlok.io/data-model/field-dictionary.md#bank-account) | | [account\_balance](https://docs.amlok.io/data-model/field-dictionary.md#account-balance) | | [bank\_transaction](https://docs.amlok.io/data-model/field-dictionary.md#bank-transaction) | ## Coverage conditions | Property | Definition | | - | - | | Country / deployment conditions | Canada; do not infer US-only Plaid Check availability. | | History | Up to 24 months (730 days) of bank transaction history at initial connection. Available history can grow while the account remains connected; institution-specific coverage applies. [Provider reference](https://plaid.com/docs/transactions/). | | Refresh | Typically 1-4 transaction updates per day. [Details](#data-refresh). | | Commercial / use rights | Client permission and applicable commercial use rights required. | ## Documented field mappings These mappings show how source fields relate to normalized AMLOK fields.
