At Quovo, Chief Executive Lowell Putnam said that a slowdown in one route to collect consumer data might not be a problem. “We often have multiple redundant connections to financial institutions so if one pipeline goes down we have another,” he said. He declined to specify the percentage of Quovo’s data that is gathered through direct connections but said it is “huge.”
