Eh, what?

For some time, now I've used eWise account aggregation technology. It allows me to save time as I keep track of my bank accounts, credit cards, loyalty programmes and other online services.

It's free too.

Your account information - passwords, account names, account numbers and aggregated data - is encrypted and stored on your PC. Your private information is never seen by anyone but you.

As a "for instance", for instance, I can log onto the site and within 30 seconds (just timed it) I can see a summary balance for:

• BA Executive Club
• Four Tesco Clubcards
• Two BA Amex cards
• Tesco Finest credit card
• Nationwide credit card (for foreign travel)
• Squaregain self-select ISA (with BA shares for the shareholder discount)
• Starwood Preferred Guests
• Marriott Rewards
• Hilton HHonors
• Hyatt Gold Passport
• InterContinental Priority Club
• Four bank accounts
• Mortgage account
• Three other ISA accounts

Within one click, I can also dive into any one of these accounts, without having to remember ids and passwords (they are encrypted on my PC).

Have a look at www.ewise.com.au. eWise offers a private and secure summary of your online accounts on a single screen for many of this board's major institutions.

Enjoy!

Note: Other account aggregation solutions are available. eWise provides the back-end technology for first direct, moneynet and egg. The stuff at www.ewise.com.au is FOC and comes advert-free.
