On: Plaid Deletes GitHub Issue Exposing Imitation of Bank Login UIs

Hard delete of an issue over closing it or closing comments... for such a security sensitive issue... under the rug sweeping.

Well, thanks to the fact that you can't delete anything off the internet it will still be presented as evidence in court some day.

This confirms to me that staying as far away as possible from plaid is the right move.

What would you recommend for ACH bank account verification?

[jamiek88 → rishirishi]

Micro deposit while cumbersome and slow, works fine.

I don't believe access to all of my most personal data should be ‘frictionless’.

Micro deposits definitely do not work fine. If banks offered an authenticated way to confirm bank account & routing number instantly and without access to txn history, would be much better.
