Can you share what makes your financial data sensitive? This isn't intended as a ridiculous question. I want to understand what harm / thread model you are worried about with Pry staff seeing your company finances.

- Even the rumor that a company isn't doing well financially can easily sink them. Who knows what Pry employees say to someone they want to impress in the pub.

- Pry knowns my transactions, so they know who my customers are, and how much I'm charging them. Maybe one of my competitors could bribe a Pry employee to divulge this information. Same for suppliers, etc. Maybe not important for B2C SaaS, but for many companies this is a real threat.

Pry staff may leave and work for a competing company of the end user

Is it possible for Pry staff to do any actions in the accounts such as withdraws?

Does third part access void TOS with banks that have protections in place?

If Pry is sold to another company, how is data transferred to the new company? Does the end user have the option of preventing the transfer?

Pry staff cannot do any withdrawals. We use Plaid for our third party access and they are widely used. If we sold, I have no idea. But we have 24 months of runway right now and no plans to sell.
,,no plans to sell'' is the worst thing a company can say, as it just reminds me of WhatsApp and friends.
