Going.Plaid VS ASP.NET Boilerplate

My company made a financial dashboard for small businesses that aggregates information from financial institutions into a simplified view. The problem I need to solve: our only way of showing what it looks like when in use, is by connecting our own bank accounts + credit cards, but of course that exposes our personal info. I'd like to setup a demo account using fake financial data that simulates a real world scenario and gets updated regularly, but doesn't use any of our own personal bank accounts or credit card information. I feel like I've seen fake CC accounts before that are made for SaaS / ecomm testing, but can't seem to find out how to get them. I'm also hoping to get a similar 'simulation account' for business bank accounts so that we can link those too. Anyone have ideas / know how I can do this? We use Plaid to facilitate account connections so I'd need the ability to connect them via their API.

I have been looking into this and found Plaid, Yodlee, and Flinks. I am not 100% if any of these will work.

Yeah I fully expect to pay, but I am sure there are companies that do this. It's simply reading data, I am not touching anything within the user's bank account. Places like Australia are quite big on open banking I believe, that allows, with proper verification, to access bank account information. I've just found one company plaid.com, it doesn't have all the institutions I was hoping for but the majority of big banks are in there.

Switching platforms won't help. Every money visualization app on the market uses plaid to fetch their data, so every app will have the same data quality issues.

You may want to look into Plaid or other similar APIs to get your users' transactions. Then, based on the details of the API response, you'll have to create triggers that fire notifications. Not sure if notifications are the right approach, as opposed to creating a to-do task list for users to categorize their transactions. Depending on the number of transactions, notifications can be overwhelming to your users and tough on your pockets.

To clarify, Its just a plaid integration under the hood, Im not actually storing anyone’s financial data (the FAQ is pretty explicit about this). But yes always a good idea to do your research before signing up for any service involving your financial data.

https://plaid.com/ offers a complex solution for transferring money from our main bank account to many (1000s) of our clients. Our business collects money via credit cards (stripe) and then distributes a % of those payments to our partners who have each entered their routing and account numbers in our system. My question is do we even need plaid.com? Could we just use stripe to send these payouts via ACH?

If you’re a more advanced user, you can just use plaids apis: https://plaid.com/

This is pretty similar

Aspnet boilerplate has great documentation and handles multi tenant. Good design patterns and supports several front-end frameworks. https://aspnetboilerplate.com/

DotNetBoilerplate might suit your needs. They also have a more advanced commercial offering

Hi beautiful people of learnprogramming. I’m a Junior-Developer and I‘m having a hard time learning the backend-part of the Framework I been using for the past months. We use ASP.NET for the backend and Angular for the front. The angular part gets slowly better, the backend I‘m a complete noob. We use http://aspnetboilerplate.com and the learning curve is so high.

Evo ja trenutno radim za klijenta koji ima vise projekata i koriste ASP.netZero koji se placa a bazira se na AspNetBolerplejtu. Ti bojlerplejtovi su odmah spremi za rad sa Angularom, Vue ili Reactom za front.

Hands down ABP. Download and follow the tutorials, you’ll get a great education out of it. It’s multi tenant and the documentation is excellent. ASP.net: https://aspnetboilerplate.com

ABP was an acronym for "ASP.NET Boilerplate". However, it is the name of the previous generation: https://aspnetboilerplate.com/ ABP.IO is the next generation of the ASP.NET Boilerplate framework and we no longer use the long name, because the "Boilerplate" word is misleading (they think it is just a startup template, but actually a complete framework & platform).

Alright, so I'm using an https://aspnetboilerplate.com/ template with Angular and it's awesome. Basic Angular app that is responsive, lots of out of the box functionality to play with. Here's a screenshot of the structure: https://imgur.com/a/WOPOKj1
