Link a Bank Account Alternatives to Plaid

Currently, the only way to link your bank account is by using Plaid. As many of us know, Plaid has many privacy issues.

As an example of an alternative, one could use only the Account and Routing number plus confirmations transactions to confirm a bank account.

The hypocrisy of using Plaid

Shawn Sheng

Hello, very happy for namebase and the momentum it is gaining, awesome team! I would like to point out that despite we are trying to help decentralize CA and DNS, namebase uses Plaid: a very centralized institution known to draw bank transactions and credentials from individuals? I kindly ask namebase to look into better method of withdraws, hypocrisy is one of the fastest ways to lose trust and namebase's reputation...

It would be great to have other ways to link your bank account, for instance, by only providing account and routing number and some transaction confirmation. This could be an alternative to Plaid.
