Yodlee
I like this web side for account aggregation.

I've been using Yodlee for a year. Very convenient when you're on the road and don't have account numbers with you. I trade stocks, track freq flyer accts, check bank balances, etc., from Internet Cafes with out needing to bring the account numbers with me.
I see Fidelity is now offering the same (exact same!) service for it's accounts. I'll just stick with Yodlee. |
doc, I don't understand why people trust these sites to keep personal information confidential forever and trust them not to be hit by some hacker. Sharing limited personal information with individual sites is considerably different than packaging it for someone. Privacy statements are just that...statements. Am I missing something?

Some folks are just seemingly more trustful, Warrenlm! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm impressed with having all that data at my fingertips; however, the security issue is my concern.
I've summarized all my FF accounts, bank accts, investment accts, etc. in a spreadsheet. Of course, I don't have on-line/automatic updating and all that Yodlee offers. |
