I tried to link a new bank account to paypal recently and they tried to get me to let some third-party log into my bank's website on my behalf. After finding the tiny "No thanks" option (which inexplicably required running said third-party's JavaScript on my device) I was ultimately able to do it the old fashioned way but this process, as they warned, took 4 days rather than being "instantaneous." I think a lot of people are still bullied/tricked into sharing credentials with all manner of skeezy websites.
- varispeed 6y agoI saw this as well, very sketchy. I'd rather not use a feature that requires me to give out banking details - I don't think that even is allowed in bank's T&C. Probably if a 3rd party stolen your money because you give them your details, you won't be covered. I was asked this once and I refused. I'd rather enter things manually than let someone "have a peek".
