Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Can't wait to be "agreeing" to share my bank statements under duress going forward. Everyone who thinks your money is theirs, and that you're just an inconvenient transfer medium, is going to be on this train.
Companies capitalizing on convenience is not new. If you want to go to the ultimate end of the spectrum where you don't need to give up any info to a third party, open source applications have you covered. Firefly iii, Actual Budget to name two with existing bank integrations.
It comes down to your personal risk tolerance and appetite. If you have no tolerance, don't take the risk and stick with your convictions instead of grumbling that you had to give your bank statements to download a scammy Tetris app.
I think the point was that we don't want to provide the intimate minute details of our private spending to everyone who asks, lest we risk judgement by the same fools who lob the "well if you have nothing to hide" fallacy.
I worry that either externally or internally you've set up a false dichotomy here.
