"It asked for my ... online banking password."
My bank tries to drill it into me that I should NEVER, EVER give my password to any third party, including employees of the bank. This behaviour from Datacoup certainly seems like a big red flag to me.
They do say this, though:
"Datacoup neither sees nor stores any bank or credit card user login information such as username or password. The communication to the bank is hashed and the access point is tokenized, which means we cannot decipher a password even if we wanted to. Datacoup never sees nor stores account or routing numbers."

Did they redirect you first to a secure web page from the bank, and is it this page which asked for the credentials? If what they say above is true, then (I think) this is the only way in which this should happen.
