Where I can find the help section? FAQ? maybe a region availability page/map, giving a try šŸ‘

@usrix We don't currently have a FAQ or region availability page but those are both great ideas!

@tyvdh Can we connect our bank accounts to this app?
Tyler van der Hoeven
@mrageeh Of course! We support over 15,000 bank institutions.

@tyvdh Sorry I should have been more specific, I'm thinking about Barclays bank in the UK

@mrageeh Ah lol. Not yet. Plaid is focused on US banks at the moment so we're waiting on them to expand. :( Sorry

Interesting business model with a subscription revenue base instead of the transactional/affiliate that most other PMFs are going after. What was the thinking here? Do you think there is an inherent misalignment of incentives with other apps? Will you categorically not take revenue if/when you recommend credit cards and other financial products to users?

@realsimonburns I just want an app I love and would be happy paying for myself. I'm primarily interested in providing a great product, not getting rich off other people's data. Most existing models are distasteful to the end user and quite clearly use them rather then serving them. I'm definitely not the first platform to go the subscription route though, there are plenty.

I like the idea of connecting all different accounts at once. Your logo is a little bit similar to Trello.

Doesn't seem to have Commonwealth Bank Australia available, or NAB. :(

This is another app where I have wasted time setting up an account only to find that I can't use it because I'm not still not American despite the assumption every day that I must be.

Tiny bank is now shutting down. RIP. Email from founder: Tyler at Tiny Bank Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 1:36 PM ________ I'll keep this short and sweet. After nearly three years, Tiny Bank is shutting down. The team was small (just me), the profits were minimal and support was getting out of hand. I've long since stopped enjoying working on the project and I'm finally giving into what I should have admitted awhile back, it's time for this project to die. If you're currently paying for Tiny Bank you can either reach out for a refund for any outstanding invoices or else login to Tiny Bank, reconnect your bank accounts (I've switch to Plaid's free tier) and carry on as before. Finally if you're interested or know of someone who might be I'll be considering buy out offers for the entire project. Thanks for the ride. Now on to the next adventure! — Tyler
