Seems like we have fought this battle with banks and MyCFO before. Not sure who won but I feel the consumer didn’t. My experience with regulators is the are focused on the issue but don’t have any definitive guidelines.

In 2016, Intuit was the number one contributor to FTC letter co-author Anna Eshoo's campaign, with $35,225 (plus $8,100 in 2020 and $8,200 in 2018). Would this potentially influence any calls for investigations against companies that could be viewed as Intuit competitors, such as Envestnet Yodlee? In addition, Eshoo announced in January 2019 that Asad Ramzanali, a former Intuit executive, would serve as her new senior technology policy advisor. Why was Intuit excluded from the stated concerns over consumer financial data privacy disclosures in the letter to the FTC? <a href="https://twitter.com/BillWinterberg/status/1218243689157361664?s=20">https://twitter.com/BillWinterberg/status/1218243689157361664?s=20</a>

This is especially ridiculous considering the breaches and subsequent loss of privacy, identity and material losses that one can only speculate associated with credit agencies like Experian et. al.
