I don't remember having to do that for paypal. I do remember them asking for the routing and account number and that they asked me to verify the cash amount of a deposit they made in order to confirm the account.
I went through a similar procedure when I added my bank account as an external account to my E-trade account. I never had to provide my online banking credentials (though it was an option, I opted to verify deposit amounts instead).
- edoceo 6y agoThey use that Plaid thing to try to instant link and Plaid asks for your credentials! But fortunately Plaid crashes, throws errors all over the JS console and ultimately fails, leaving you with threes day verify vis ACH. Many Plaid failed because i blocked the trackers, which is another thing ...Plaid asks for U/P on page that's loading trackers - leaking my credentials maybe? When I see Plaid on something, I'm Noping out of there
