Mint wins PCWorld Top 25 for 2007
So, we were all at the second* annual Mint Holiday Party when we got the word that PCWorld magazine was going to name us one of the Top 25 Most Innovative Products of the Year. Made us pretty merry and bright, I tell you. Thank you, PC World!
We’re incredibly honored to be receiving this award in the company of both huge players like Toshiba and Panasonic, and three other start-ups. Read the full PCWorld Award Announcement. We’re looking forward to the party/award ceremony in Vegas next month.
One comment, though: the article seems to imply that you have to give your bank account numbers or credit card numbers to Mint to use our financial planning software. Not true. In fact, we don’t even have the functionality to capture that information. You can get the straight story on How Mint Keeps you Safe on our website.
Our thanks to all of you who are actively using Mint.com as a microsoft money alternative. and as a loyal blog subscriber, we wanted you to be the first to know that we’ll be introducing some fresh features next month that we’re really excited about sharing with you. Looking forward to hearing from you all on those.

*Okay, so there were only 3 of us at last year’s party. And, yes, we drafted on another, larger party for a group of start ups. But we are officially declaring it our first annual party.

Hi there,
congrats on your achievement. I understand you are not requesting for a users bank accounts. but inadvertently capturing them on his behalf. This proxy authentication could mean that a consumer of the bank is perhaps violating his/her terms and conditions relationship with the bank. Does any bank or financial institution recommend leaving their username and passwords with any third party?
Do you have a thought on this?
You perhaps may not be nailed for capturing the details but you could potentially loose your customer base if the respective banks decide to leash their relationship with their customers.
Perhaps you could consider talking to the banks directly? or was this the whole game plan?
