Yeah in the last decade, I have many times considered building a service that would have a better interface and access to information by fetching it from all my financial institutions, but what's held me back is the lack of APIs and I never even considered collecting user credentials as a viable option because of the potential security nightmare and possible libabilities. I guess it pays to be ignorant of all that and just plow ahead. Once you get billions in VC funding, you can fend off any consequences.
