Fintech and unofficial API are two things I wouldn’t consider using at best and at worst extremely risky and possibly can get you into trouble .

How do you think Plaid worked before banks got onboard with OAuth?

  • Can confirm. Plaid continues to work this way as well for many banks.

    I have heard from someone who worked there that (allegedly) one of the banks had a huge PI leak that was exposed to Plaid customers and (allegedly) nothing was done because Plaid didn't want to disclose their unofficial use.
