Tearsheet Podcast: Exploring Financial Services Together

Plaid's Lowell Putnam: 'Liabilities gives access to a whole new set of data points'

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller. We’ve been covering the data aggregation industry because it’s our contention that getting this right is one of the underpinnings of modern finance. Sharing clean data between banks and apps may be somewhat of a boring business but it’s an important one. Plaid recently launched Liabilities, a product that gives PFMs and student loan providers and refinancers access to the liabilities side of their potential clients’ balance sheets. This is a very active area of fintech and this should help to propel things forward. Plaid’s Lowell Putnam joins us on the podcast to talk about the new product and how clients are using it in their applications. Lowell was also the founder of Quovo, a data agg competitor with strength in the investment industry, that Plaid acquired earlier in 2019. He talks about the combined entity and provides some insight into the product roadmap the company plans to execute on. Lowell Putnam is my guest on the Tearsheet Podcast. We’d like to thank our sponsor MX for supporting Tearsheet’s work. MX is the leading data platform for banks, credit unions and fintechs, enabling its clients and partners to easily collect, enhance, analyze, present and act on financial data.
