    That/lack of Mint.com integration (RIP) is what’s kept me from switching away from my “giant monster mega bank” all these years.

        “Mint has always been a money loser,” Mr. Agostino, a former product manager at Mint, said in an interview. “Given the revenue Credit Karma was generating, it makes sense to go that path.”

        Translation: “Eh, all it does is help people without bringing us significant revenue. Let’s try to push the users over to a more spammy based app!”

        I remember when both came out, and used them extensively. Finally dropped CK, then Mint, as they both started including more and more loan ads. We certainly had a good run of actually useful free stuff, but that’s finally catching up.

          Time for me to plug my preferred budgeting application, budget with buckets. Envelope budgeting like ynab, however it’s offline. You can import statements from your bank, use macros to access the bank, or pay 15 bucks a year for syncing through simplefinbridge.

          Permanent license is a one time payment of $50, and there’s an unlimited free trial.

        I know, hence the “(RIP)”. Still, I’m not going to give up on having integrated financial info so any credit union I switch to would have to support whatever I replace Mint with (even if it’s as rudimentary as letting me automate downloading an OFX file).

        Moving back to a CU was the best decision… Saved me $500/year in fees, seen no negatives so far.

          My credit union does not charge overdraft fees and they even called us once to remind us we forgot to make a loan payment. Bank of America would have just raked us over the coals.
