Dave,

I might know too much information about security and banking to know what the “typical” consumer thinks about the security of placing all your financial information on a site that is not audited or under the regulations of Financial Institutions but at sometime it might come up?

While you claim to have no data or passwords you are passing the data off to a partner which few consumers know. Consumers know banks and companies like Intuit. They keep my money secure and I do my taxes with them. No one seems to be bringing this up.

It is a very cool application I agree but why not cobrand it and sell it to banks?

Providing stock brokerage “may” require federal and state registration??? Try “definitely” will require registration. And that is a huge hurdle. But certainly where Mint should go if it wants to provide a real value-add. A single platform to manage (not just track) all of my financial transactions–that would be stellar.

@chris, @steve: Yodlee is a Mint partner, and yes i agree it’s a cool service… i’ve also been a user of Yodlee for ~5-6 years. that said, Yodlee ended up building their business more on the enterprise / white-label opportunity, so the consumer service hasn’t really been their focus.

in addition, Mint has done a lot of work to enhance Yodlee features and create additional value through algorithmic categorization, as well as a substantially new model for suggesting ways to save money / reduce debt / find better financial options.

Aaron & team are doing some solid work, and i think it shows. hope they keep it up

@Andy Kant We’ll be adding support for student loans, auto loans, and mortgages in a June release time frame. At that point, all your assets, all your debts, both short and long-term can be reflected on Mint for a true picture of your net worth.

Nice! I am a big fan of Mint. My wife and I have tried to track our budget and finances with spreadsheets, Money, and Quicken and always gave up because they were just too involved. Mint really makes it easy. I look forward to May 6.

Mint is great as a daily/weekly place to watch cash flow and manage a budget. But I don’t think I’d want to see my 401k balance every time I sign in. My 401k is a long-term investment account, and I like to check it once a month or once a quarter.

So while I understand what Mint is trying to do here, I don’t think this feature is a huge deal. I’d rather see them focus on improving the core cash flow and budgeting functionality.

I’ve been using Mint for a few months now, great app. I hope they add student loans soon so that I can track all of my stuff in one place.

@EH – Thanks for bringing the duplicate transaction issue up. We are working on resolution for this now which I think will work really well for your needs. It will launch shortly.

Re: rules, tomorrow we are launching a new way to re-categorize transactions, including a much improved approach to creating and managing rules.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these features.

Is anyone aware of a UK equivalent of Mint – That has direct access to account data?

I’m glad they’ve added investments. I hope they also have a good way to compare trading companies because I’m getting tired of the one I’m with right now (First Trade). It always takes longer to pull money from the account than the 2-3 business days that they suggest and its a ACH transfer.

I’ve heard about mint.com for a long time and for some reason I didn’t sign up until yesterday. I’m glad that I have. They do have some things in my mind that should be improved like comparing your spending to your income, so you can actually see yourself saving, but it’s still a great tool that I will continue to use.

@Chris – yes, they all use yodlee. Now that mint is providing investing data, I’ll cancel my account with Covestor (don’t need bragging rights, thank you).
@ Dave -dude, you’re great at getting money from the VCs, and it is a cool product, but this growth will stop very soon – it’s not a viral app, no matter how you look at it. but mint will never be able to help me with investing as they do with helping me with my personal budget. vestopia is kind of doing that, but they also have a long way to go before getting there – and then please sync the two apps together, or with any other pro help for my investment needs!

If Mint would switch its monetization method from selling data to credit card companies to providing a white label financial management tool to financial institutions, I would use it in a heartbeat. But based on this paragraph, I doubt that will happen:

“There are some things you still won’t be able to do with Mint, such as stock trades, bill payments and funds transfers. Mint CEO Aaron Patzer says those features will eventually be added, with a focus on bill payments first. Funds transfers and stock trades are a little stickier, though, and may eventually require state and/or federal regulation of the company.”
