US Based, but I read an article about it. Pretty interesting.

I agree. I think if you could branch off what stripe has done with their 'home' feature, you'd have a real business on your hands.

Plaid seems like an incredible company, going this route would save a huge amount of engineering initially, but would cut into revenues. I might explore this further. Thanks!

Ideally building from scratch because the platform relys on taking a small percentage of each transaction for revenue.

Any payments developers out there? What does it take to connect to different banking systems to transfer funds and how do you go about it?
Ask HN: How do you build a payments app like Venmo?

I feel like this is a really hasty product decision based on the continually poor PR raining down on Facebook. Nobody cares that the highest level executive cleared old messages (From 2010) to protect himself and the company for security reasons. This seems like a really weird move to try and please the public on an unassociated data privacy war.

Sooo, can I still cross reference customers from my database to see if they are influenecers on instagram or does GET /users/{user-id} and GET /users/self/followed-by ruin that?

Its Act 20 act 22. Basically, you can avoid paying personal income tax and capital gains by becoming a resident of Puerto Rico (I.E. living there for a documented 183 days out of the year). Also incorporating in PR and hiring at least 2 locals you will qualify you for substantial benefits as well. It's honestly one of the best places to be as an investor or anyone starting an internet based company from a tax savings and financial standpoint.

$1 Billion in REVENUE, not volume transacted. They transacted $681,271,650 USD in the last 24 hours alone.
