Lots of people already use mint.com to manage their finances. Now it's even easier to keep track of all things monetary with an app for iPhones and Android phones. Here are some of the features we like best.
No bookkeeping required
Mint immediately pulls in your balances, purchases, stock trades, etc. to give you a complete picture of your finances. Mint connects securely to nearly all US banking financial institutions that have Internet banking capability, saving you hours of tedious data entry.
Always up-to-date
Mint updates all of your account information automatically. So you always have the most current information available. With Mint, you can focus on making smart decisions, not on managing and planning financial spreadsheets.
It’s Free!! We make money only when you do
We give you personalized ideas on how to save money by presenting the greatest savings from among thousands of financial products. If you decide to make a change that saves you some cash, we sometimes earn a small fee from the bank or company you switch to. You save a lot; we make a little.
No need to share your identity
Mint works for you without requiring any personally identifiable information from you. Your Mint account is anonymous; set up requires only an email, password and zip code. Mint doesn’t know your name, address, social security number, account numbers, or PINs.
Bank-level data security
Mint uses the same levels of physical and encryption security that banks do to protect the data we do store. Our practices are monitored and verified by TRUSTe, VeriSign and Hackersafe, and supported by RSA Security.
You can’t move any money
Mint is a “read-only” service. You can organize and analyze your finances, but you can’t move funds between — or out of — your accounts using Mint. And neither can anyone else.
24/7 protection
Plus, Mint can alert you to large purchases or unusual charges in any of your accounts. These alerts can help you react immediately to recover your personal finances, credit score and identity. Under U.S. law, you need to notify your banks right away to get full regulatory and financial protection.
Uncover hidden fees
Mint notifies you when any bank or brokerage firm you use changes its fees or finance charges. These email or text message alerts can help you quickly respond to any errors, helping you avoid bogus overdraft charges. And alerts on upcoming bills or low account balances can protect you from late fees and other charges.
Stay up-to-date via email or text
Mint summarizes your spending, saving and investments in an email, sent once a week. Set up email or text message alerts to help you avoid overdraft, bounced checks and late fees, low balances, low available credit, or to warn you when you’ve spent more than you planned for in any category you choose. And if you use Mint to set goals, you can receive monthly email updates that make tracking your progress and achieving your goals easier.
