Paid research / Product Testing opportunity for existing Farmers Insurance customers in USA
Pinwheel is a leading fintech infrastructure provider that builds secure, API-based connections between banking/finance apps and external accounts (payroll, income, and bill-pay/merchant accounts). Their technology enables users to switch direct deposits and payment methods, cancel subscriptions, and verify income/employment directly from their banking or fintech.
Pinwheel is expanding its U.S. merchant integrations and needs real, production merchant accounts to validate login flows and navigation steps for bill switching and cancellation. This is done via automated scripts (headless browser) that require access to actual accounts to ensure the experience works end-to-end.
