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.
The Plaid listing you linked doesn’t have a batch by their name.
I’m generally positive towards AI and LLMs.. BUT there’s just things that nobody should be doing ever, like give it access to your production system or bank account.
Honestly, given that your bank most likely is processing your data using AI/LLMs anyway (after all, credit scores were one of the first applications of "big data" and "machine intelligence", back when that was mostly logistic regression over a handful of data points), why should I not also reap the benefits of that? I think until proven otherwise, it's fair to consider financial data public information at this point.…
> OpenAI did this with your health data in January. Now it wants your financial data too. This is far more valuable, they can see what political affiliation you have based on your campaign donations, predict things like cheating on your wife & the impending divorce, what vices you have and they can also build shadow profiles of all the people you give and receive money from even if they don't use the product.
If all they wanted was to know more about your profile, they could already buy this information form the bank I presume.

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’ve been asked to sign up to plaid by clients three times. Each time I’ve said no. I’m not giving a 3rd party access to my bank account. I don’t understand how people enable this total loss of friction for direct account egress. There needs to be friction.
Many banks just OAuth with Plaid now.
The result is that I attempt, at all cost to not use anything that requires plaid or their competitors since I know how that sausage is made.

What's the local version of this? What's the best way to pull in my finance data locally, without clicking through to each portal? (USA)
