Plaid probably owes you some money after its legal settlement

Well, we’ve got some good news and some bad news for you: The good news is, you’re probably entitled to at least a little bit of extra cash thanks to a recent $58 million class-action lawsuit’s out-of-court settlement. The bad news? Your paltry “We’re sorry” money comes from the financial tech company, Plaid, which was accused of misleading users into providing their banking login data, as well as collecting far more personal information than it ever needed.

So, yeah. If you used Plaid between Jan. 1, 2013, to Nov. 19, 2021 (and it’s more than likely, given its 5,000 partnerships include companies like Coinbase, Venmo, Robinhood, Capital One, and Wells Fargo), head over to this site to check if you qualify for what most likely will amount to a free cup of coffee. It ain’t much to make up for data mining connivery, but we’ll take what we can get right now.
