Go to your ING account and set them. I couldn't get in to FNBO Direct or American Funds with out setting my questions either.

Ahhh, thanks! I had 4 of the 5 set. I set the fifth and only answered those 5 of the 10 or so it requested and it worked.

Google will purchase them within 18 months.
 
Huh, well I guess I won't be using this service past the month. Chase apparently charges $9.95 per fucking month to provide access for financial management software. I know BoA didn't do that when I was with them. Anyone other banks that don't look for hidden places to nickel and dime you?

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.

Did I read the sign up details correctly. They are asking for my Bank account login and password in order to create my new account? I honestly didn't go any further than that.

You don't see any issues in that request?

I think the only people I would like to have that information is my Federally insured Credit Union, thank you very much.

I'm assuming they pull your spending info directly from your bank every month? Categorize it and help you improve it? Sorry if I'm ASSuming something, I didn't go any further than the requesting my "Bank info" page.

I would imagine your " Federally insured Credit Union" doesn't keep this info either, but rather relies on Yodlee to manage it, same as Mint.

huh? did chase charge you $9.95 because you added your Chase account in mint.com?


Edit: according to this discussion, Chase won't charge you if you only have a CC... but they WILL charge you if you have checking/savings.

it worked out for me (I only have a CC through them), but that sucks the fat one.
 
I have a Chase credit card in mint and they didn't charge me, not sure why they'd charge for anything else.

But I'll echo others comments that mint is an outstanding free piece of software. Its also as secure as anything else out there, so if you're comfortable using web-banking period, then there isn't any reason to be extra worried about using mint either.
