When applying for a mortgage, do you choose the auto connect to your bank accounts so the lender can get your account information automatically?

It seems they are all asking for that and say "it will take longer" if I manually upload documents. But I feel like there may be some risk involved in doing that. Is there?

Have never had a lender request direct access to bank accounts. They’ve always asked for statements.

Oh yeah that doesn’t make sense. I’ve never been asked that either.

It just means they have the digital capability, whereas most banks do not have this yet. I'm betting you're probably with Rocket (although they're not the only fintech with this). In 5 years, it will be the new norm.
It makes it easier on all parties involved, but I also get it if you're leary and rather do it manually.
