mint.com ?

Has anyone ever tried (trusted!) https://www.mint.com/ for working with their finances? I am suspicious (highly) of "free" products such as this (seen on msn.com). Does anyone know of any similar type of program that could be tried here (@ www.majorgeeks.com/ , which I, personally, trust as much or more than any other site on the www)?

 

They require you to enter all your banking account and log-in information to fully utilize what they offer. They have had a few serious security issues.

Pass.

Most banks have personal finance manager software or programs on their websites; ours does and it's terrific and a helluva lot more secure too I'll bet

More reading if still pondering.

 

Thank you! I KNEW I'd get to some Truth HERE!! Thanks again!!!

 

Well, I'm just one voice on this and perhaps others may have a different opinion. What I stated was my feeling from research and a friend who had serious data loss from them back in July. And the fewer people that have your banking log-in info the better.

 

Although I've never been a direct victim of ID theft, I've had two of my credit card companies mail me a new card with a new account number due to a "security" issue (a bit of a pain in the a**, since I have to update the auto-pay info. on my cable bill, EZ-Tag, PayPal, etc.).

Your personal info. is always at risk, such as the security breech at TJ Maxx/Marshall's a few years ago that hacked millions of account numbers. The fewer companies that have your personal data (even legit. ones), the better.

 

I agree with the aforementioned caveats and warnings - hell, I don't do any online banking myself, and our eBay/PayPal transactions are handled by our bank under an assumed name and an isolated account...

My question is, however: isn't Mint.com owned by Intuit? It would seem that any enterprise owned by such a longstanding reputable company would be responsible not only for account protection but also for restitution in case there is a security breach.

 

Kind of scary that a week later, no one has even attempted to respond to your question . . .

 

The quoted text in my initial reply already answered that....before it was asked

 

yeah, i'm "gettin' it"..now.

Spooky
