Fintech startup Argyle has access to 500,000 companies, 26 percent of Fortune 500 and 90 million employment records, company says. The company offers $500 for employees willing to give up their payroll credentials and a recurring $25 payment each month those credentials remain valid. The platform is marketed as a way for the growing numbers of gig workers to consolidate income data across several employers so they can more easily apply for credit. Experts say the company is trying to refine a data-scraping tool rather than sell financial services.
