There is no universe where I'm connecting my bank account to some ghetto ass app for a seemingly too good to be true loan.

Me neither, but the banks are probably selling all your data to the same clearinghouses anyways… we need banking secrecy laws like the Swiss used to have, AML be damned
Your bank may well sell your personal data. The app you “connect” to it can take your money. Choose your poison.
> Your bank may well sell your personal data.

Depends on the laws in each country. At least in most if not all EU regulated countries, this would be a huge no no.

"I need numbered accounts" is a strange jump from "banks should be free to sell your data to anyone".

There's a clear middle ground.
