The provision establishes the operational framework for external account aggregation by specifying which third-party processors handle credential transmission and data access.

"If you link an account with a third-party financial institution for which linking is provided via Envestnet | Yodlee ("Yodlee"), you consent to Yodlee processing your Outside Account Information and login credentials in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, if applicable, Yodlee's FastLink Terms of Service. If you link an account with a third-party financial institution for which linking is provided via Plaid Inc. ("Plaid"), you will be required to agree to Linking Service Terms that specifically reference Plaid, and you consent to Plaid processing your Outside Account Information and login credentials in accordance with Plaid's privacy policy.— Excerpt from Wealthfront's Wealthfront Privacy Policy
The pass-through consent model for Plaid and Yodlee creates third-party processor risk under GLBA and state privacy laws; compliance teams should assess whether contractual data processing agreements with these providers meet regulatory standards and whether shared liability for credential mishandling has been addressed.
