The CRA Foundations Team (CRAFT) is responsible for architecting the technical foundations for Plaid’s CRA entity. This team works closely with product and legal to think through future CRA product requirements and compliance constraints, translating those inputs into the scalable platform from which CRA products can be launched. 

On our mid-term horizon there are a number of opportunities to expand the ways in which Clients leverage Plaid’s products, in particular those offered via the CRA entity. By offering products through our CRA, we can deliver a holistic view of a user’s credit profile by composing various data streams with deep data insights that Plaid can uniquely offer. We especially see opportunities to move further “up funnel” in the lending lifecycle, to build highly efficient products with huge TAM and revenue opportunities.
