Plaid confirms a ~$575M April 2025 raise, not the imported Series E label or $6.1B valuation; uses include employee liquidity. Later Series D/B investments have undisclosed amounts, not additive exact proceeds. Duplicate rounds and the terminated Visa acquisition were removed. An industry profile reports a $12.5M January 2015 Series A; NEA confirms its 2015 lead, but the close day is unknown. The 2026 employee-share sale is secondary. This is not a complete legal financing register.
