Comment on Ask HN: Why would people trust their banking credentials to a service like Mint?

Comments

I use USAA, and it aggregates my accounts from multiple other sources all by itself. I log in to USAA and see my vanguard retirement investments, my joint checking account that I share with my wife, and my daughter's college savings account from another bank. I also see my mastercard bill and my insurance bills.

I also get an incredibly powerful mobile app, free checking, and ATM fee reimbursement.

The interesting part is that I was able to hook up those external bank accounts without providing username and passwords to USAA.

Note, their banking services are available to anybody, even non-military.

NetBank was able to pull in information from my credit cards long long ago when it existed. I remember using this feature at least 10 years ago. I can't remember if it was transactions or balance only though.
