Didn’t realize Intuit owned Mailchimp. It one online tool whose UX I hate with a passion. Mint comes close.

What are some good alternatives to Mint for financial account aggregation?

You Need a Budget [ https://www.youneedabudget.com/ ] is one of the few online tools I pay money for. It connects to all the major credit cards, banks, loan companies, financial brokers, and most of the minor ones too. Its budgeting system actually makes sense.

You're only allowed to budget the money you have currently in your bank accounts and you're encouraged to daily categorize the previous days transactions so you immediately know if you're spending outside of your budget. I've referred a few friends and they all turned into paying customers.

I also have a referral link that gets me a free month: https://ynab.com/referral/?ref=sO-qTzrewvE6obDI

But they give you the free month regardless if you sign up on the main site. Just something nice to do if you try out the service and like it.

I use YNAB and like it for budgeting, but it is a very opinionated system. If you’re just looking for account aggregation and reporting, Personal Capital is probably better (US only, unfortunately).

I use Lunch Money: https://lunchmoney.app/

I have a referral link as well, but use the link above if you're not comfortable with that: https://lunchmoney.app/?refer=9tdo95yk

Look at Monarch Money and Copilot. Both are designed quite well.
