Pretty sweet project and from browsing the source I learned about a very cool fintech lib I'd never heard of: Plaid. Gets the cogs turning with ideas. Thanks

Plaid is a fintech unicorn, not just a library.

As far as I remember when I researched Plaid, it’ll ask for the credentials (email/password) for your online banking accounts. That was a deal breaker for me.

  Yeah, plaids flagship feature is instant bank verification. It replaces the archaic micro-deposit method for allowing users to auth their bank account.

  Yea that seems super sketchy. Are they web scraping?
