Plaid is a startup that offers fintech solutions and digital financial products. That said, the company was involved in a controversy that was even taken to court.
The lawsuit was promoted by consumers who accused Plaid of selling their financial data. The company did this without notice or authorization to obtain economic profit.
The litigation was won by the plaintiff side (the clients). At that time, Plaid was ordered to pay $58 million, money that will be divided among the affected users.
The first payment stage occurred last year. However, there is a second chance to get the Plaid Inc. Litigation settlement $35.97 payout via Venmo or PayPal.
Plaid Inc. Litigation settlement: second chance to get $35.97 payout via Venmo or PayPal
In November 2022, multiple users affected by the Plaid Inc. sale of finance data received $35.97 in their accounts (PayPal or Venmo).
Pleasant surprise: I just noticed that I got a payout from the Plaid, Inc. Privacy Litigation Settlement via Venmo for $35.97. Details of the class action lawsuit here: https://plaidsettlement.com.

I got a small settlement from Plaid last month which I believe was a Venmo thing.

Multiple users are receiving the payout notification via email. The message comes from the address ‘digitaldisbursement.com‘.
So, if you recently received a payment notification from ‘digitaldisbursement.com’, don’t worry, it’s not a scam and it comes from a legitimate company. The next step is to enter the link in the email and get your money.
