      summary: Submit a Plaid bank link
      description: 'Creates a funding account from a Plaid public token obtained after a successful Plaid Link session. The auth type in plaidMetaData must reflect the verification_status Plaid Link returned. ERA always enables AVS validation. Blocked for impersonating sessions. The request is safe to retry: if this bank is already on file for the user, the existing funding account is returned with a 200 instead of a 201.'
