Mint is a finance tracking and budgeting platform much like Microsoft Money or Quicken.
2 fricking billion dollars?
I couldn’t just give my info to anyone - right?
They have their security and safety information posted here (this should calm you down a bit).
But, I was immediately impressed.
It allowed me to add 2 Credit Cards and all my accounts from HSBC in 4 or 5 clicks.
It has some 1500 institutions in its system so it can grab your transactions with ease.
I think that is better for all of us - don’t you J.
But your overview of all your accounts is DOPE.
you’re able to set low balance warnings per account and other alerts as well.
I noticed that Mint says it can save me money.
Mint thought my HSBC savings account was 0% interest when it is actually almost 5.3%.
So that part was way off.
But to be fair they are still in Beta.
And if my accounts were not interest baring this could have been VERY helpful.
All right and now for some of its short comings.
I have YEARS of back financial data and I could not import it into Mint.
It would only take data from financial institutions directly.
So for the security freaks and data mongers this isn’t for you.
I also had issues with some of the description editing for transactions coming in.
I like it even more now.
I’m glad I got that in!
AskTheAdmin gives Mint two thumbs up!
