This is oh so true. Wtf are you giving out your bank history and info to a website? If they get hacked…lol oh shit. (let the downvotes commence)

  Frankly, I trust Mint with my bank info more than I trust my bank. One has a history of incompetence, and it isn't Mint.

    I agree with that in general, but it feels like a single point of failure. 10 different servers that all have an X% chance of being hacked are much more secure to me than 1 server that even has X/10% chance of being hacked. That said, I like the idea of mint in general. It's depressing that banks can't (won't) figure out read-only credentials for use cases like this.
    • ceejayoz 15y ago
      Yeah, something like OAuth for banks would be very, very handy.

      ING Direct implemented read-only credentials for Mint, after fighting with them about access for months. (ING kept blocking Mint, and then Mint would find a way around it.)

  Mentioning how you're sure you'll be downvoted is a great way to ensure I'll downvote you.
