Visa Buys Plaid
Plaid is terrible! Both Wells Fargo and Bank of America support API integration, but Plaid chooses to screen-scrape and does not work if you have 2FA enabled. Also, you can't even manually enter your bank information. In other words, even if you pay dearly to Plaid, you may block many users who use some of the top banks in the States! There is a bunch of services I cannot use because they rely solely on Plaid, and I'm not willing to disable 2FA! Maybe being Visa, it will make the whole service more meaningful if Visa pushes banks to integrate, because it's 2020, and giving your password for your bank to a third party, when there are APIs and OAuth/OpenID protocols available for banks.
