> I am not worried given that.

YOLO is definitely an interesting approach for a financial company. Didn't people shit all over Plaid for taking this approach? Training people to give their financial credentials to 3rd parties is not the best.

Hey, cut him some slack, he did say he was in the business of "making saving exciting." The risk of handing over your financial credentials is exciting because you never really know what may happen!

I also find the use of ibonds funny for a service that ostensibly exists to encourage people to invest. Pointing people at a vehicle that currently (and for the foreseeable future) offers zero real growth by definition isn't going to make the world into successful investors.

If I were him, I'd be pretty stoked about the Plaid comparison.

Keep it up! You're acting for the good of the user, YOLO it.
