# Plaid Integration

The Plaid integration is used to connect to a Plaid environment.

Using this integration requires access to a Plaid account. To connect your Airkit Organization to your Plaid account, go to **Console** > **Integrations** > **Connected Accounts** and click on the **Create Connected Account** button. Then select **Plaid** in the **Integration** section.
