As someone who recently started integrating with Plaid in my app, I can verify that the extra information they give you access to is extraordinarily beneficial to better understanding your user. Also, asking for account and routing numbers is a massive inconvenience to users.

Unfortunately, that will only stop people who run around taking photos of other people's checks.

Does Plaid provide information about the location the checking account was initially opened or the general location of the account owner's residence? The biggest problem with Stripe is they provide ZERO checks on IP location + billing/shipping zip code, checking the email against known fraudulent email addresses, or shipping location against known drop locations.

Yes, Plaid can help with most of this. You can see the full docs at https://plaid.com/docs for more details.

I have just taken a look at your documentation! It seems very good. I definitely underestimated how advanced you are currently. It'll be interested to see how this plays out. You'll be tested by very smart people.

Right off the bat one thing you should really try to change is the lack of MFA by Wells Fargo. You should beg and plead to have them do something. They're by far the most available and cheapest accounts sold online.

Couldn't agree more.

I wish I had the software skills to fill one of your open positions. I'm in love with the subject, but don't quite have the technical skills.

I'll hear a lot more about beating your system in the future. I'll pass along whatever I hear.

Any plans to come to the UK?
