    It’s probably against your bank’s TOS to give your password to a 3rd party. No way this is legit. Run away.

      My understanding is that should you disclose your credentials you would generally void any fraud protection the banks may offer.

      It probably is. Its for convenience reasons. They pull up your bank page in the background and automatic login and parse the page.

      It is incredibly dumb and I would strongly advise against it

        Why would you need to give them your login details why couldn’t you just sign into your bank account yourself? You still have to provide the details either way so it’s not convenient.
