Don't be afraid to reach out! Looking for ambitious developers ready to work for themselves and build a team!
I agree. I think if you could branch off what stripe has done with their 'home' feature, you'd have a real business on your hands. https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-home

Plaid seems like an incredible company, going this route would save a huge amount of engineering initially, but would cut into revenues. I might explore this further. Thanks!

Any payments developers out there? What does it take to connect to different banking systems to transfer funds and how do you go about it?

This seems like a really weird move to try and please the public on an unassociated data privacy war.
