Consumer-impact summary

User freedom: Often the usage of this service is mandatory for anyone renting or getting a loan.

User privacy: Shares user info solely between consumers and renters as per section 3 of TOS. However because of the mandatory requirement of sharing your bank credentials, the service may be sharing private transactions with landlords, which may be sold.

When the company was formerly known as The Closing Docs, they were also selling "anonymized" user data.

Business model: Property managers and lenders pay a fee to use their service to cover verifying rent.

Market control: Some competition, such as from Plaid and Yodlee.

Incidents

If the company page is short enough and/or the incident is not deserving of its own page, add incidents below in sub-sections (including the points outlined in the incident help page) without linking/creating an incident page.

If the company has various incidents listed and/or this page is getting too long, create subsections linking to each incident while linking to the main article and including a short summary. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.

If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
