Plaid CTO here. This is not accurate. On 1. We do not (and have never) sell data to third parties. On 2. We have been a proponent of open authentication standards like OAuth and App2App and today, a majority of our bank connections run via

Plaid CTO here. First, today a majority of all bank connections are on APIs or OAuth. This is mostly for the biggest banks in the U.S., but we also support some of the biggest platforms on top of which smaller banks & credit unions oper

I replied in a few other threads on this. We don't make the user's data accessible via API outside of the app the user connected. Your personal data is not sold or rented or given away or bartered to parties that are not Plaid, yo

Would love to help with this. YNAB hasn't always been a Plaid customer, so it might have been a historical connection -- either way, please contact our support team to help you figure this out ASAP https://my.plaid.com/

I wrote a comment above on the main allegation which hopefully answers your question. It's not about selling data.

by jeandenis 5y ago
I understand your point (and yes we are all mere humans who like plain language). Your data goes from your bank to the app that you authorized, via Plaid. It is not sold to anybody.

You’re right that I can’t write much (legal, PR team say hello). The bottom line point is, we don’t sell data and that’s not the main allegation. The main allegation is that people didn’t understand that we were part of the flow of connecti

(Plaid CTO here) You can use the Plaid Portal ( https://my.plaid.com ) to view what types of data are being shared, to revoke access (to both the apps and Plaid) and delete data stored in Plaid’s systems. You can also put a data d

Hey, CTO from Plaid here. We don’t, and have not, sold data. https://plaid.com/legal/#consumer-support As someone who has overseen our consumer privacy team over the past few years building out products like Plaid Link

We worked closely with AWS on this (problem and blog) and they were great and quite transparent. Glad it's interesting/useful to you.

Hi TruthWillHurt, are you in the UK? Looking at that list, that looks like what's required for a UK developer -- the environment in the UK is very regulated and quite different than the U.S.

You should be able to to put traffic through via the development environment without that, but you're right that to go to full production you would need to answer some compliance questions, but it should not take months. I understand y

Can you send me an email: jgreze plaid.com -- I'll see what I can do to help. For the vast majority of cases onboarding should be self-serve until you hit a certain level of scale, so I'd love to understand what's happening h

I am going to drop this here at the risk of down voting: Japanese nail clippers are world class (much like their scissors). I've had the same pair, somehow, for 11 years. And to this day using them is delightful. Weird thing to say abo

Not sure why the downvotes. What he says is true in the US and in Europe Plaid is relying on psd2/open banking.

Would love to hear from HNers in Europe (and elsewhere) which countries Plaid should go to next! And also what the biggest pain points are to building fintechs in other markets.

A good practice is to ask people to write as opposed to speak. You can give some space for everyone to put their thoughts on post-it notes before the conversation starts (or to put things in a doc before the retro meeting). There are so ma

+1 to meta-retros (or retros on retros). Once you have a group with a ton of trust, you can retro all of the things. (and hi Ozzie)

by jeandenis 7y ago
One point of the post is that if you do constant retros (say every 2 weeks), within teams with the engineering manager, you can help foster an "an environment that is open to discussion and even polite dissent" (as you put it). As
