Why Now?

Open banking regulations are mandating data portability. Plaid's dominance creates pricing pressure on fintechs. Multi-provider redundancy is needed for reliability. More fintechs are launching, creating demand for affordable data.

Revenue Model

Per-connection: $0.15–$0.75/connection/mo (vs $0.25–$1.50 Plaid). API calls: $0.01/call. Platform: $99/mo (100 connections), $499/mo (1K connections), $999/mo (5K + dedicated support).
