Looks interesting. I tried to do the same thing. I built an OAuth2 service that FI's could implement for building apps and I built a PFM that they could send data to (in realtime using Push/Webhook). I even have a client, but I've kind of given up on the idea of making a living doing this. I have zero sale/marketing skills, not to mention the fact that the competition is now way ahead, though mine still does a few things theirs doesn't.
- iffycan 11y agoDid you have success getting any FIs to actually implement it? For bank interaction beyond read-only, I would love for FIs to implement OAuth2. SimpleFIN is intended as the smallest possible pill for a FI to swallow -- it really is easy to implement, but I'll be the first to admit that it's not a final solution.
- vhodges 11y agoI too sold them on the fact that it was not only readonly but push from their side, so my software never accesses their core system directly. I did get one FI to implement it, a tiny one branch credit union here in Canada. Though they are tiny they're quite forward thinking. I sit on their board now. I've recently reimplemented (though not deployed for my client yet) the OAuth service in Go and called it Bouncer. It's open source https://github.com/sourdoughlabs/bouncer https://github.com/sourdoughlabs/bouncer There's a Omniauth provider for it too https://github.com/sourdoughlabs/omniauth-bouncer https://github.com/sourdoughlabs/omniauth-bouncer I image a backend for Bouncer that uses OFXConnect would be quite easy to do....
