OK, I work at Plaid and I feel like I have to jump in here -- while it's true that we've iterated on the Plaid Link UI over time and it hasn't always looked like it does now, you can see what the login screen currently looks like here: https://plaid.com/plaid-link/ and here: https://plaid.com/demo/

IMO it does clearly tell end users that they are connecting to Plaid.

So some good finally came from that TD lawsuit. The last time I saw a Plaid login in a service I use, it was a definite phishing screen. It's good that you have moved away from phishing people, but it doesn't change the fact that a) you phished them for years, and b) you still do not in any way warn them that if they use your service it 'voids the warranty', so if their account gets hacked (not necessarily through Plaid), they will be SOL.
