I've noticed and been frustrated by that at two different banks. I always assumed it was because banks were hostile to technology and saw their online banking operations as a cost center, a box to be ticked by the cheapest third-world outsourcing firm, without regard for UX. That + 60-year-old mainframes is not a recipe for good software.
I recently switched to a university credit union. It's generally less internet-friendly (no mobile app, let alone photo check deposit). But unlike M&I, Harris (when it bought M&I), or Citi, my credit union shows every transaction through account creation, with running balances, on a single lightweight HTML page.
Any source on Mint and the banks colluding to not show running balances? I don't doubt you, but I'd love to be able to tell people about it.
I'll never go back to a big bank for checking, but I'm still lining their pockets for credit card interchange fees. CapitalOne's 1.5% back is pretty hard to beat.
