The story
Argyle began as a payroll connectivity API — the 'Plaid for payroll' — providing direct-source income and employment data for lenders, background checks, and tenant screeners. In 2025 it expanded beyond payroll data into asset verification by reselling Finicity's open banking platform, positioning itself as a consolidated verification waterfall (VOI/VOE/VOA/VOAI) for mortgage and consumer lenders — competing directly with The Work Number and Plaid.
