There are a couple of banking startups (at least here in the UK) that want to give you API-like access to key stats (transactions, totals) without full access. Very excited for that to pan out.

That improves things somewhat. I'll still likely refuse this service on my own products and push others to do the same if I see that 'reserved' and unused usernames are being taken ahead of people who actually want to use th

Ugh. Note: this service will be blocked from any company that I am involved with or have influence at. Why? I'll have a bunch of spammy, disinterested non-accounts registered and using up usernames that real customers might want. For w
