I have been using Yodlee, Mint, and Geezeo for years now with no issues. I think Yodlee has the better platform but Mint has some nice features and Geezeo is just more hands on. Since Mint will be the basis of the new Quicken online, I did a quick check and I liked what I saw. Yes, this is a trust issue. I have it and you don't. Fair enough. I do lots of transactions online and donate money through the internet as well. I guess I am just more comfortable. I also keep a very close watch on things. I also like Mint's option to be notified when a transaction is processed. Keeps my accounts safer. Mint provides bank-level data security for the transaction information we store. * Mint.com always transmits personal and financial information securely. * We store transaction information in a secure facility, on our own servers, protected by 24/7 security guards and biometric scanners. * All our employees pass financial and criminal background checks as a condition of employment. * All our employees pass background checks as a condition of employment. * The Mint.com website has received the VeriSign security seal and is tested daily by Hackersafe. * Our privacy protection standards are certified by TRUSTe. * We subscribe to an anti-phishing service to discover and take-down malicious sites intended to fool our customers.

Again, to me, that's the BIGGEST problem with removing data from local control. The fact that the data is elsewhere is secondary concern (think about it, it already is!). -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew

It wouldn't connect to any of my FIs using the same sign-on data successfully used by Q2010 Deluxe, or directly through a browser connection to the FIs. I asked Mint to look into the problem, and they asked me to send them my FI sign-on data so they could investigate. I told them I was unwilling to do that using their unsecured e-mail connection, and asked if they had any way to receive it by secure means. So far they have not responded about that. OTOH, I tried Qkn Online, and it connected and worked as well as the concept was implemented. But it lacked the speed and depth of the features in desktop Quicken, and I am not confident about the security of my financial data in the "clouds" (including account IDs and sign- ons). I deleted my account with Qkn Online, and will continue using desktop software.

I certainly will continue to use my desktop version of Quicken until they get the same level of functionality into Quicken online/Mint. I too have had the occasional gotcha from Mint but only one account so far. They have even managed to get through to some accounts that Quicken desktop can't download so there has been a tradeoff. My own view is that if MINT is at level X without Intuit, it should be a lot more robust in a half year or so. I am making the assumption that Intuit will incorporate the functionality of the current desktop version to the online version. Obviously, if they don't, I won't bother but that is the goal they seem to be striving toward.
