I would /love/ something that made it really easy to take care of my receipts - that is definitely a problem for me.
I'm not sure what to make of this, however. I signed up and decided to test the service by uploading a receipt (which was actually a random image from the BBC News website). This worked fine, but I have /no idea/ where the receipt is now. What I really want is a dashboard where I can see everything I've uploaded. (If you want an example of a company that does this very well, take a look at Inoviceable).
I agree with some of the security issues that have been raised already. I don't like having e-mails sent to me with plain text passwords - what if I am on the train and someone reads the password over my shoulder? What if this password is exactly the same password that I use for everything?
Secondly, don't forget that receipts will (potentially) contain a lot of sensitive financial information, e.g. your card number. I imagine you could phone up a bank and convince them it was you by talking about some of your purchases - which you could do if you had access to a load of receipts.
TL;DR: It's definitely a problem I'm looking to solve, but I worry about the UX/security of your solution.
