Just a technical question, how do these applications “talks” to the banks? I mean I know how to process credit cards using paypal basic as well as well as paypal pro, but still curious about this banking stuff.

If anyone knows the technical aspects of it, please do let me know.

Thanks

I wonder if they have plans to support automatic downloads from accounts, like Yodlee. I tossed Mint because of that hassle.

Trust me when I say that Quicken Online blows all of these other web 2.0 finance sites out of the water. I am testing it now, and it is stellar.

I believe buxfer has been around for a while now (I think way before mint) I remember hearing about them when they were doing YCombinator.

@Jigs: you can indeed do that. Reminders associated with transactions automatically re-enter the transaction as well. (For example, after you add a transaction, if you click on the “Actions -> Repeat transaction” link in the transaction row, it will achieve what you want…Similarly, while adding a new transaction if you hit “More options” and set a reminder, the same will happen.) Sorry about the confusion in naming, we will get that fixed very soon…

Would be nice if you could set up recurring transactions instead of just reminders…
