Mint.com: Online Budgeting is Useless Without the Online Part
Shouldn't this guy be on the phone with Citizens Bank right now?
While I wait an astonishing 2+ months...
Wait a minute let's read that again. 2 months. Mint's service for one of the largest banks in the Northeast has been unavailable for 2 months. Holy shit how has this not made the tech news yet? Better yet, how have there not been firings (plural)?
While I wait a mind-blowing 2 months for connectivity issues to be resolved between Mint and Citizens Bank, I've been hanging out with Quicken. People seem to hate Quicken, but their customer support is incredibly responsive and their account connectivity has been rock solid. That's about to change as come this spring, there will be nowhere to hide from Mint's horrifically unstable data provider-
Although many are concerned about the fate of Mint, it sounds as though most of the changes will be happening to Quicken’s 1.4 million online users. They will be moved to Mint in the spring, said Mr. Patzer, who will oversee the transition.
On paper this lines up perfectly. Mint- great features, crappy data provider + support. Quicken- crappy features, great data provider + support. Come this spring a Voltron of online banking awesomeness should assemble before our very eyes. As long as Mr. Patzer doesn't blow it...or allow Intuit to screw it up.
