Unable to Create a Plaid Account for Finance App
Check Plaid's account creation flow and add error handling.
Check Plaid's API docs for account creation flow and add error handling.
Summary
A developer is building a finance application and needs Plaid to fetch financial data. They have been unable to create a Plaid account for a week, regardless of signing in with Google or using an email address. Each attempt redirects to the /create-team page, where the user enters information but the process never completes. The network request to Plaid's API returns an error with no message.
The developer has reached out to Plaid via Twitter but received no response. Plaid offers no support case creation without an existing account, leaving the user stuck. The issue appears to affect all sign‑in methods and may indicate a backend problem or misconfiguration. The developer seeks guidance on how to resolve the account creation failure.
Key changes
- Plaid account creation redirects to /create-team
- No error message returned
- No support contact available
- Issue persists across Google sign-in and email
- User cannot proceed
