I am a fairly new broker to this industry and have come across some resistance to the stipulation requested by a funder I work with fairly often. The funder requests my merchant to give online bank access (view only) to verify the account and pull older statements,as you can imagine my merchants do not feel very comfortable with that!

My question is to some of the direct funders out there, do you request this as well and/or what would you accept in in exchange to this stip?

Any guidance is much appreciated
