    That’s a great move. Instead of trying to regulate the baddies just offer a more honest, transparent consumer-respecting option from a public service that respects people’s privacy (CFPB does not block Tor, unlike #CreditKarma and #LendingTree).

    I would love it even more if they would also enable people to deselect banks they want to avoid, such as the shit banks on this list:
