GRIFIN isn't the smart way to buy stock cheaply
These people purport to buy a dollar's worth of stock of any company that you shop at. However, in collection of the financial information from you that they verify thru Plaid, which IS a reputable company I've known for years, they just continually keep going thru the verification process over and over even though Plaid confirms your submissions as correct the FIRST TIME! WHY? That is very suspicious behavior and tends to infer either inability to access the records Plaid generates, or that the excess files are being generated for some illegitimate purpose like data miners, etc. In any case, they don't offer a customer service phone and apparently take their time in answering emails. I'm getting out before I lose any MORE money. I've done fine buying $1 stock from Robinhood for years.
