Here at Plaid (https://plaid.com/docs), we're trying to build this for all the major banks.


I've started building an app with Plaid and so far, it's amazing. Covers the major banks (similar to the original ApplePay banks), and has a beautiful API.

It's just sad that the banking infrastructure underneath is still the old legacy BS. Having to answer security questions or relay two-factor auth is insane. I yearn for the days when we can OAuth with our banks!


Completely agree. We're working on some of this, but ultimately moving to true OAuth is going to require the banks to get more deeply involved.


Hi - we have a consumer financial app on both the appstore and chrome store - how do we get in touch about potentially using your api?
