OpenAI is connecting ChatGPT to bank accounts via Plaid

They're a YC company so every other YC company is going to use them, that's how YC companies operate.

This isn't at all how YC companies operate (source: I did YC), but also... Plaid is not YC.

Seems kinda weird then that they're listed in workatastartup.com: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/15283

Plaid is not a YC company. You can just google it to confirm.

Yet they are listed on the site that claims to only have YC companies. Very odd.

I don’t know why they are on there, but YC startups list their batch and year in parentheses on job posts, e.g. (W25). Example: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/88812

The Plaid listing you linked doesn’t have a batch by their name.

Still kinda weird that a non-YC company gets to have job listings on a site for only YC companies.

I don't know; I'm not involved. Just noticed the UI affordance.

Clearly you are not involved lol. The suggestion seems to be that YC is involved in some way; perhaps untraditional.

Funnily enough, Flock has stopped doing that.

Plaid has an option to let the client/provider accept plain account + routing numbers, a lot of apps for whatever purpose don't use it.

They have job listings in workatastartup.com but maybe any startup can now be listed even if they're not a YC company: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/15283
