> Banks are not selling PII’ed account balance data to shady aggregators.

Banks might not be directly selling the transaction history, but they report the customer transaction history to Equifax and similar credit scoring agencies. Equifax certainly does onsell that to shady credit companies, which has happened to me twice with letters in both cases stating in the footprint in a very small font size and in a very pale hue of grey «provided by Equifax».
