I had an account and it was worked fine up until a couple of days ago. The account was funded by a debit card and I was happy with the risk reward. All of a sudden, all payments through Privacy started being denied. As part of their troubleshooting steps it says to clear the funding source and re-enter it. Ok, doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ll try it. When reentering the exact same debit card, I get a card not supported???  After emailing their customer support, I find out this is an unexpected problem and that I can try funding by a bank account. Ok, great let’s look. One, My bank is not on their “supported” list and 2) They want me to provide my bank username and login to connect???   Really??? What year is this are you kidding me? No way that is ever worth the risk, especially with a new startup. I won’t even give that kind of access to well known companies in the financial sector. Too bad, great idea, had been worth the potential downside. No way in the world the risk calculus works out now.
