If only there was a web plugin or some other web client software that could login to your bank account for you and fetch everything you want, in convenient formats, with nice labels. It would support the weird interfaces of thousands of different banks (and PayPal)...
- goldenkey 11y agoI'm not sure if you are being coy but didnt Zenbooks get sued or attacked by some banks for doing exactly that?
- colinbartlett 11y agoPlaid basically does just this, though as an API. And it doesn't support thousands of banks but just a few major ones.
- fokz 11y agoI've been using Mint for this purpose and so far it almost meets my expectation. The automatic categorizing works well.
- WalterBright 11y agoQuicken attempts automatic categorizing, but botches it so badly I have to fix 90% of them manually.
- jldugger 11y agoGNUCash supports QFX and OFX, but banks seem unprepared to actually support an API endpoint like that. End result: Mint and whatever systems my retirement funds started using to 'plan your retirement' ask for username and passwords to other accounts. A rare few banks allow for OAuth style read-only tokens, but it's not like my 403b is selected based on security principles.
