Yep, I’ve had the same issue with MX. it’s incredibly frustrating. Have you checked out Plaids update link mode?https://plaid.com/docs/link/update-mode/

I just implemented this so time will tell if this addresses the connectivity issues long term.

Hey thanks!

I’ve shared some with support but I’d be happy to detail some of the struggles. I’d love to see this offering come to market. I’ve worked with MX and Plaid. They leave a lot to be desired and I think Stripe could be that!

Knowing what’s fully baked and what isn’t would be a nice touch for us working nights/weekends to bring something to life.

If I can help flag some improvements that would be great. I’ll send you an email

Oh man don’t jinx them!

You’re spot on. I wonder if it has to do with the pressure of keeping up with their valuation?

They’ve done a lot of cool stuff but right now time is my most precious resource and wasting it hurts trust quite a bit.

Haha that’s a good point. I do love Stripe for that exact reason. However, it would be nice to have some more transparency on what is baked and what isn’t.

The innovative side of Stripe will probably pull me back in. Plaid has it’s drawbacks as well. It’s not a hard sell to use an alternative

The financial aggregation market is a little stale. I hope Stripe can mix it up
