Then how is Plaid more secure than Mint, Digit etc?
- Artemis2 10y agoFrom this [1], they are a provider for these. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11939425 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11939425
- findjashua 10y agoSo, they're just punting the liability to another 3rd party (Plaid)? Given all the excitement in this thread, I was hoping that Plaid had miraculously cajoled the banks into an OAuth integration. But I guess banks will be banks :-/
- anonymousjunior 10y agoI'm sure something of the sort is in the works; it's hard to build momentum with a ton of huge legacy systems to bring along.
- ceejayoz 10y agoBanks don't make this easy. There isn't a secure way of doing it in the vast majority of cases. Companies like Digit use Plaid to offload the risk of storing these credentials (like how most startups offload PCI/credit-card to Stripe). Intuit's big enough to have their own solution for Mint.
