Looking for finance app
m_s:
I saw your earlier entry, but expected that would just be for buying in shops. Dang.
m_s:
Okay, so failing Quicken... Is M$ Money the next best thing for us in Blightey?
Carol Haynes:
Unfortunately.
I used it for a while - but it doesn't link to a lot of financial institutions easily. I gave up in the end because it seemd to defeat the object for me!
I bank with HSBC and the only way you could entre bank transactions was to separately go to the bank website, download your transactions and merge them into Money - this almost always led to some editing because there would be overlaps in data.
Barclaycard and other credit cards seem even worse as they don't even have a download format that works well (CSV was the best I could find, but it didn't import well).
m_s:
What about Moneydance and Acemoney, both mentioned above?
Carol Haynes:
I haven't tried them. I'd guess the problem Money has with UK institutions is down to the institutions themselves rather than the software. MS has got this stuff working in the US, and I'd guess that could be a reason Quicken gave up.
