Every year, millions of people dash for one simple reason: to reach their goals on their own terms. We know that Dashers come to DoorDash for flexibility in how, when, and where they earn, and we want their financial tools to offer that same flexibility. More than 2 million Dashers are already using DoorDash Crimson to quickly access earnings, manage everyday expenses, get cash back, pay down bills and debts, or save for what matters most to them. Today, we’re thrilled to bring even more ease, flexibility, and empowerment to the Dasher financial experience by announcing our partnership with Plaid, a data network connecting more than 12,000 institutions globally and more than 9,000 financial apps and services, including CashApp, Earnin, Varo, Chime and more.
By integrating DoorDash Crimson with Plaid, we’re addressing one of the most requested updates from Dashers who use DoorDash Crimson: the ability to connect their accounts to other financial services. Until now, Dashers looking to use their DoorDash Crimson account with other financial services often faced extra steps, whether that meant relying on another bank account or finding alternative ways to verify their financial information. With Plaid, Dashers can now instantly link their DoorDash Crimson account and earnings to external platforms and services. Whether they’re tracking expenses through a budgeting app or verifying account information when applying for a car loan, Plaid makes it easier for Dashers to put their earnings to work across the financial tools they already use.
“Dashers told us they want DoorDash Crimson and their earnings more deeply integrated with the rest of their financial lives,” said Daniel Madwed, Product Lead, DoorDash Crimson. “Our partnership with Plaid delivers on that feedback, removing a common hurdle and giving Dashers greater flexibility to manage their earnings across the financial services they rely on.”
“Consumer’s financial lives today extend well beyond traditional accounts,” said Christy Sunquist, Head of Open Finance at Plaid. “Wherever their money lives, they should be able to connect to the apps and services they rely on. We’re proud to work with DoorDash Crimson to make that possible for Dashers and we’ll continue to expand the places consumers can connect from."
Dashers should have financial tools designed around how they earn, spend, and save. This update is another step toward making DoorDash Crimson a more useful and connected banking experience for Dashers, whether they’re accessing their earnings, managing everyday expenses, or planning for bigger financial milestones.
We’ll continue listening to Dasher feedback to keep improving the DoorDash Crimson experience. To learn more about connecting DoorDash Crimson to Plaid, visit here for more information.
