Is there a Mint.com substitute for Canada?

How did you sign-up? It's asking me for a zip code...

Just enter a fake one or...?

This won't integrate automatically with your accounts - but that's why i love it - I just download transactions from my accounts to use it.

ACEMONEY LITE

is free - try it out - i use it on multiple accounts - just open the account I'm working on - if you pay you have unlimited.

You can also do budgeting, investments etc - and it's reports are nice for the wife who doesn't understand numbers but understands piecharts.

Looks like Mint.com is finally adding Canadian Support!

I got to add my PC Financial account today. Unfortunately that's the only bank I could find of mine on there.

I used a very popular zip code everyone knows. 90210. lol

Anyway - I posted above about the downloading transactions / using ACEMONEY - which is a kick as free program on the computer. Though the free version lets you see 1 account at a time. ( I do multiple accounts, just with different save files, anyway - it's more to show my wife our actual money situation and why she can't have a new house or car or trip to hawaii. lol )

SO - my interest was caught when someone said quicken online lets you upload transactions - so I went there. Lo and behold - it points you to go to MINT - I went there - signed up. I added my pcfinancial bank account to try this online thing.

Holy hell is that slick. But that's the only bank that was there for me. Still - I was amazed by how easy my accounts added. ( high interest savings, interest plus savings, and no fee savings.)

I don't know how I overcame the fear to do it last night / give my number and online banking password, but I did. SO - I guess i could open it up to trying this yodlee or whatever it's called.

MINT seemed great in terms of customization / setting up of alarms etc. Nice pretty graph outputs as well.

I need to search and see if there's a download function from them for transactions / categories, and upload.

Some recommend Thrive or Yodlee for the ability to synchronize with Canadian banks.

Looks like one Canadian option is now gone.

Wesabe has closed up and no new update from Mint.com

I can't believe so many people are so OK with giving all their financial information to a third-party website, where there are likely pimple-faced sysadmins making $15 / hour responsible for all of the data.

The thought alone of it makes my skin crawl.

Client side application only (on my local PC), thanks.

Looks like wesabe is going to opensource their server component... so one would be able to run it all locally (though you'd likely need some tech expertise)

Has anyone gotten Yodlee to work with TD credit cards or LOCs?

wow... this is a cool thread!

i currently use GNU Cash, it's not an automatic getter of everything but it's great for me, i can create Expense accounts, it tracks all income, it can auto-fill when needed, i can run a report from start of the year or current month.

For me it's not a lot of upkeep either, since i usually charge everything to my credit card, so at the end of the month, it's just a case of entering all the transactions and your done.

It works soley on the principle that every debit must have a credit. So you debit your Expense account and Credit the method of payment.

Yes, I use it. Don't know about LOCs though, but my TD CCs work fine with it.

I was using Wesabe but now that it's closing I need to find a site That manages Amex or allows manual uploads. Any suggestions?
