I have been using Yodlee for a few years. Mint is simply using Yodlee as the conduit to manage your accounts aggregation. Should be interesting to monitor its progression over the next few months.

Hey Ryan,

Just wanted to respond to your question on brokerage type accounts for Aaron. We’d be rolling out with features to support those account type in the future, as they are definitely an important component of financial picture. There’s a list of features that we’ll be rolling out on the mint blog, so if you’re curious you can check that out.

Andrew,

Yes, Mint is only for the US right now…but in case you have friends in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, we’ll be expanding there next year. If you know a software engineer, or a product manager familiar with Australia’s (or countries in the EU) financial services industry, major banks, and any relevant regulations, send a note to jobs@mint.com. We can definitely use the help to expand to Europe and Australia!

I mostly use Citibank because they are global and always have someone in the branch that speaks english. Also they are pretty savvy to internet banking, fraud etc…I see they work with Mint too.

Great for travellers.

I just wish this “Mint” service was available in Australia…it is exactly what I am looking for.

OH ya I forgot.. Great job on customer service. I’m always impressed when a CEO or developer can take time out of their day to post on blogs. Not many companies understand how important that can be. I’m glad you do.

Hey Aaron. I still haven’t got it to work, but I assumed it was from the techcrunch traffic. That can slow things down quite a bit. I’ve been there before (not techcrunch, but others)

I’m really enjoying what I see on mint though.

For future upgrades, have you thought about letting it handle my ameritrade, fidelity, principal, and other stock market / mutual fund / IRA type accounts?

It’d be neat to have all of that in one spot.
