It's hypocrisy from banks/brokerages in general since they actually promote aggregation on their own websites. Vanguard has one, for instance - they're probably using Yodlee.
They also charge absurd prices ($10/month) for OFX access. OFX access + very simple read-only passwords would solve this whole mess of screen scraping.
- chimeracoder 10y agoOFX is great. I mean, it's not great if you have to implement it, but if you just want to use it (ie, with Quicken or GNUCash or some other piece of software), it Just Works™. The only problem with it is that not all banks support it, and when they do, many charge prohibitive fees for it. Security shouldn't be a premium feature.
