Visa announced today that it is buying financial services API startup Plaid for $5.3 billion. Plaid develops financial services APIs.

It’s the kind of service that makes sense for a company like Visa. The startup bought Quovo two years ago to move beyond just banking, and into broader financial services and investments.
