Yes, awhile back my bank account was decoupled from Venmo for reasons unknown. I unwittingly used Plaid to sign into my bank account instead of the usual wait a couple days procedure. No indication whatsoever - only found out because I saw an article, probably on here, about this company and their basically fraudulent practices.


I was under the impression that Venmo uses Plaid’s APIs on the backend, no?


I don't really know how the integration works. AFAICT you can avoid Plaid if you verify your account manually [1].
