    Google seems to suggest they’re some sort of fintech company out of South Africa? Either way if that’s their product then I’d run a mile in the other direction, and then another just be sure.

      Yep. They’ve been around for years.

      Normally you would just give them your card info like any other online pay site like PayPal etc. but I don’t know why they suddenly decided to give everyone at the company a deluxe lobotomy

      I saw this shit yesterday when I was trying to buy a weed cart online (still not sure if it’s legal or not. I still hear stories of those moron cops arresting people for “drug possession” i.e. didn’t pay a bribe)

      Noped out and just gave the clearnet grey market drug website virtual card info that’s gonna expire in a few hours anyway

      Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it’s legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.
