I opened a Coinbase account and tried to manually link a bank account by providing account info, but it can’t seem to verify the account that way. It really pushes you to provide username and password for the linked bank account using Plaid. I did open a new bank account with a bank with which I have no prior banking relationship, but the whole idea of linking an account by providing a username and password gives me the shivers even if I limit the amount in the account. Are there any Coinbase people or people with Plaid or banking (as in bankers) experience who can share their thoughts about doing that. Thanks.
