This is William’s post. It’s worth going to the source.

Obviously. But why would banks ever do that? They see Robinhood, Lending Club, Venmo, etc as competitors. No way there going to open up API’s to them unless the government forces the banks to do it.
Not to downplay the security implications here, but Plaid has pretty much changed finance. It’s a straightforward case of trading security / privacy for functionality. Apps like Venmo, Robinhood, Wealthfront, and most every other financial startup would not exist without Plaid.

this is awesome!
The underlying data source for Second Measure is Yodlee. You can see a history of their data sales here:

If they buy data from Yodlee, I wonder how long they'll still be able to get it...
