My New Favorite Financial Everything Tool: Yodlee.com
I’ve blogged about Mint.com before and while I really do like their interface, I’ve found a new love, Yodlee.
Yes, I said it and I am prepared to shout it into the blogosphere! Not only do they log in seamlessly to each and every financial account I have, but they also have a great iPhone interface which lets me refresh from my iPhone on the go. This has been a pet peeve of mine because I have been searching hi and low for a feature rich webware that will allow me to perform certain actions like bill pay, checking the actual balance on the go, linking all financial accounts on my mobile device and not just the checking account, listing my net worth and the list goes on and on.
The best thing you ask? Being able to track it ALL in one place. Call me a geek but this alone thrills my little personal finance soul. My credit union also makes it just a little more than difficult to log in with all the passwords and this makes it easier. If I am in the belly of the debil, Target and I need to check my balance I just long on to Yodlee, check my balance and I am good to go. It will even tell me right there how much money I have available for my Target habit.

My next task is to create our monthly budget and create a bill calendar within the application. I am rather visual so I need to be able to see on a calendar when to expect certain bills to come out of our checking account.
I won’t go into the standard Yodlee vs. Mint vs Wesabe as there are a plethora of reviews out there but I wanted to let you all know that Yodlee is officially Ginger approved!

I am a Mint user, I’ll have to try Yodlee to see how it stacks up.

You should try Pageonce’s App ” A personal assistant”. Not only can you track finanicals but you can also track your airmiles, emails, social networks,credit accounts, your shopping and more. Try it at http://www.pageonce.com or in the App Store under productivity

I love Yodlee and just posted about it recently myself. I have used it for almost 2 years now and login everyday for a complete up to date financial overview. Have never used the mobile interface, but after seeing you screenshot I will give it a try this evening. Tried Mint recently as an alternative but in my opinion it just does not compare.
