Tell HN: Wealthfront now pulls transaction history when you link a bank account

1 pointsby Calvin02about 2 years ago
Weathfront no longer supports micro-deposit based authentication if the bank is supported by Yodlee. And when you link your account with Yodlee, WF automatically pulls 1 year of history from your bank account and keeps pulling new transactions [0].<p>They clearly have the option to use Yodlee&#x27;s API only for verification and give people the option to include transaction history, but they don&#x27;t allow people to opt out of it.<p>I only use WF for investing. I can&#x27;t transfer money without linking my account and handing over my data.<p>We need stronger privacy regulations in this space.<p>[0] - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.wealthfront.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;115005251883-How-does-Wealthfront-use-my-linked-accounts-to-help-me-with-financial-planning-
