I know this may sound a little bit like overkill, but it my perfect world of banking, I'd like to be notified of every single transaction I make. I'd like to just get a lightweight stream of everything that clears my account, preferably via SMS, although e-mail would work, too. The way I imagine it, I'd simply see every debit or credit as a text message.
Is this possible with Mint, or am I a complete edge case?
Mint is currently failing to retrieve data from my Citibank bank accounts. Mint tells me "Your accounts here seem to be closed," which they are not.
This likely has something to do with a failure on Citi's end -- I've been having trouble using their system with FF2 on the mac for the last few days. Works fine in Safari, oddly.
I just want to close my account with Mint and I wasn't able to figure out how. I don't use it and I don't even know why I started to in the first place. I don't want my financial info on some 3rd party company I don't know much about. Any help would be great.
I have several credit cards with the same financial institution and they all have similar names in the system -- e.g. "LottaCash Credit Card American Express" and "LottaCash Credit Card Mastercard". When those names are truncated on some screens I can't easily tell which is which. Is there an interface somewhere to attach my own short names to them?
I have heard that all bank log-in and password data is not accessible by Mint employees and is actually stored and managed on Yodlee servers. Is this true? Are there any other security concerns that anyone else has?
I'm fine with it, but a lot of people who saw the Mint demo mentioned to me that they're very uncomfortable with trusting Mint with their most private passwords, the ones they use for their financial services.
Wesabe solves this problem by using a desktop application that stores all your financial passwords, and only reports the data up to the Wesabe site. Does Mint plan to do something similar in the near future?
