Maybe his gun safe?
 
so uh, how do you guys know that your bank username and password arent being shared?

i mean, how trustworthy is this site?
 
If there was ever a site begging to get hacked, it is that one. Scary. I'm staying away.
 
It's signed by Verisign. Doesn't that take alot of verification to get that? So if this site did do something bad, Verisign knows who they are..

I guess that doesn't mean they can't legally scam people. Like freecreditreport does.

*shrug*

Yodlee's partners can be found: http://corporate.yodlee.com/customerspartners_cu.shtml
of their partners, who they supply the logins, i use more than 4 of those in one way or another.

edit: Yodlee also has their own version of a financial aggregration.

Correct. They don't store any useful information that can be tied directly to you.

None of your usernames or passwords are stored on the mint.com site. The simply associate a bunch of financial "numbers" with randomly assigned IDs.

I didn't sign up because they didn't support financial accounts like Fidelity and Vanguard. Does anyone know if these have been added?
 
I tried Mint the week it started up.
It never could authenticate my Citi Card account, so I stopped using it.

Maybe they fixed that now?!

They support my Fidelity 401K account as of a few months ago. If and when they get my mortgage and student loans supported, I'll have all my info covered.

This sucks... I can only add my HSBC account which is useless. Citizens Bank isn't even an option, LAME

Citizens Bank (also known as Charter One is some areas) used to be supported-- but they went ahead and screwed around with their website and security implementation so bad that it rendered any automated retrieval method useless. It's not Mint's fault-- blame Citizens. Even MS Money cannot directly pull transactions from Citizens anymore.

This was one of the few reasons I eventually closed my employee checking account there.

Ya Charter One's new login process is kinda stupid, I'm thinking of dropping them as checking.

Mint's site says they are working on adding student loans like Sallie Mae (i'm not really interested since I paid off my Sallie Mae two years ago, w00t)

All I need added is my Auto lease (Chrysler Financial), and the company I am getting my mortgage through is already covered, so I will be set.

Why would it be an attractive target? Is some Russian hacker sitting out there wondering "How much did effowe spend on groceries last month? I simply MUST know!"? Or "I must know how many subscriptions to bald-headed midget websites QED has!" (just as an fyi, the answer is 2-- one is my primary, and the other my backup).

The only information you should be somewhat leery about being "stored" is your other financial institution's website login information, but all of that is encrypted with YOUR own password that only you (or at least, hopefully, only you) know. Actually, I'd be suprised if EVERYTHING stored by Mint wasn't all encrypted--right down to each transaction. If so, your fascination with hairless midgets will forever remain your own little secret.

I'm not worried because I think they'd be targeting me specifically, like I said, if the website becomes popular and many people sign up then it will become a target due to the large number of peoples financial data that can be stolen.
 
This is a nice site. Took all my institutions including, surprisingly, fnbodirect. Categorizing transactions is fairly straight forward...though a few design changes need to be made:

- categorizing transactions on the 2nd+ page brings you back to the first page after submitted, if "apply to similar" is selected.
- needs a de-select all button
- I also wish it would download transaction history from a little further back.
