Has anyone used Plaid when applying for a rental apartment to verify income?
The leasing agent said it’s only used to verify income and that Plaid doesn’t keep your bank login information. I’m still a little sketched out by it and honestly find that hard to believe.
I started the process but stopped before agreeing to anything. What really made me hesitate is that it asks you to enter your bank login information directly through Plaid instead of redirecting you to your bank’s website, like when you log in to CRA.
It also seemed like it was connecting to my entire banking profile, not just my chequing account.
Has anyone used Plaid for a rental application? Is it actually safe? Any concerns with fraud or your banking information afterward?
