I see a lot of suspicion in thread below, which I very much understand.

I'd like to take a minute though to express my frustration with the banks that refuse to supply any sort of limited APIs. How is it 2021 and I still can't give my tax person read only access to a specific year of transactions? Plaid and others trust issue would be so much easier if the banks had any sort of control over sharing aside from none or authorized to do anything.

Your banks would need to create APIs with fine grained access to do the things you describe.

Go ahead and explain to a bank who has a STAGE COACH in their logo what an API is and why they need one with fine grained access.
