Do you support Canada & other countries?

[Damon]

Mint currently only works with customers based in the USA (bank accounts/credit cards).

[micsco]

I am having success adding New Zealand accounts, is this not recommended at this stage?

[Damon]

Not sure how that's possible? If you look at our signup field, the field only accepts five digit zip codes (USA). Is it importing data from the financial institutions?

[micsco]

Not sure about the importing part, but it can definately log in and connect to the account. However it only has listed the bank I am no longer with, for which my accounts with that bank have not had any transactions for a month or so, there for if it is able to import data it probably has nothing to import.

[Damon]

If it can login and connect, your account should be displaying transactions from the account you can log into.

Is it a large (global) bank?

[micsco]

Just here from what I understand.

http://www.asb.co.nz/

[kronos]

Are there plans for adding support for other countries (like Canada) in the future?

[Damon]

Definitely something we're looking at!

[fsbrainstorm]

I waited over two months for the invitation to the beta. I guess could wait a little longer ;).

Speaking as a web designer with a penchant for web apps, I'm thoroughly impressed with what I've seen so far. I can't wait to see the rest!

[christinez]

Sadly, that beta invitation will have to wait till you accept Canadian financial institutions. Looking forward to it - please be sure to send out a notification when you do!

[Damon]

If we do go overseas at some point, we will most certainly mention it in the forums & try to contact folks by email.

[everyunitone]

Likewise, been waiting for this for a long time, got into the beta and it was way better than I could have hoped... seriously, to have all my online financial accounts in one place and managed well is going to be amazing!! one thing though, i'm in the UK .... :(

looking forward to uk.mint.com ..

;)

[Damon]

Sorry about that! We're also trying to make it clear on the site as well.

[lynnz]

I am having success adding New Zealand accounts, is this not recommended at this stage?

This is brilliant, if still possible. I have an acct in New Zealand with National Bank and would LOVE to be able to track it here. It would just elevate Mint to the next level. I'm already loving it, but being able to track my NZ accts would be PERFECT!

[jayraju]

I can also inport Data from the ASB Bank in Auckland New Zealand, but only from the Visa account. The Cheque/savings account is able to pull my account names but no transaction. Its showing "0" for all of them.

[jayraju]

Currently I have noticed two banks from NZ, ASB and National Bank. Have a look, you might be in luck

[Damon]

I think we're still working through our list of financial institutions...international accounts shouldn't work and/or won't work properly with Mint right now.

[mercerch]

Is there a anticipated or expected date for support of Canadian, UK, and other international institutes?

I am extremely interested in actually using this site but currently can't as a Canadian banker.

[Damon]

I couldn't give a time line for any country, unfortunately. Doing business in other countries generally requires checking on compliance with regulations in that country before launching & we're still doing a lot of work on the US front.

[chesh2000pro]

I would definitely like to be notified when support is available for Canada! Thanks!

[spuz]

Please let us know when you begin to expand into the UK. I love the idea of mint, I just wish I could use it with my bank, Nationwide Building Society. I believe they are one of the few UK banks to support the OFX protocol so I'm sure it would be technically possible. I guess there are plenty of legal issues and arrangements to put in place before you expand outside the US. In any case, I look forward to mint coming to the UK!

[bhutz]

...I look forward to mint coming to the UK!
Me too.........

[Damon]

We will most certainly make an announcement if we enter any international marketplace. I have to be honest in stating that it could take some time...

[post_scriptum]

Another vote for Canada support :)

[joemacd]

Seriously Minty dudes, get hooked up with Canada.

We only have, like, 4 banks.

[caughlan]

I would be a serious evangelist for Mint if it could be used in Canada... pleeeease!!!

[Navan]

Another vote for Canadian support! (we can't help it- if the US has it, we feel we should have it to!)
...a lot of Canadian banks are also backed by American ones, they're just under a different name in Canada (ING, Citi, PC, etc.)

[ickybuck]

CANADA...CANADA...CANADA...:D

oh, and did I mention you should support Canada already:cool:? I am a Financial Planner and this would be an amazing tool to recommend to clients, especially ones with complicated situations. Microsoft Money and Quicken just seem to miss the mark but from what I have seen of Mint.com it is right on the money (no pun intended). Definitely alert me when the time comes (even Beta if you need to take that step)!

[mapoitras]

Please let me know when you finally get to support Canada.

[mintfeedback]

Another vote for Canada.

[fishlips20]

+1 for Canada.

and honestly, other money management companies are starting to move to web-based options as well. This is a great time for you to capture market share before these established software providers steal it from you....

Yes, Canada has the population of Florida - and yes, it's a different regulatory enviornment. But think of the Canadian market as a great test market for anything you'd want to launch down south. As well, there are much fewer banks for you to worry about (4-5 financial institutions).

Let's get the show on the road already. IMHO, coming to the Canadian market is a no brainer and is long overdue.

[spearce]

Please add Canadian Support:D

[j2l]

+1 Canada

Canadian financial blogs can't wait for it!
trading.vocape.com

[Damon]

My personal opinion is that Canada would probably be the first place we venture into. It just might be some ways off, unfortunately (still have a lot of work to do in supporting the USA market).

[ranapratap]

I just finished doing a competitive review of your site for a client. You guys have a very nice product, I loved it and showed it to a few of my friends too. I can't wait for it to lauch in Canada!

[Doggabone]

I suppose there's some irony in that I've discovered another site that offers a similar feature set, and I found it by looking on these forums to learn whether Mint supports Canadian banks. The other site does, and I'm grateful that I've found it (thanks, erm ... Mint!). But if Mint ever catches up to including Canadian banks, I think by what I've seen that I'd prefer to use the service here.

And so, this is my +1 for Canada. ;)

[mastermynde]

+1 for Canada.

[Kevan]

I found out about this site on Digg.com, and was ecstatic when I was invited to the beta, only to be crestfallen moments later when I realized that this was a US only thing. I suppose that for legal reasons, it's complicated to coordinate this sort of operation for a different country.

Regardless, I already am itching to use and recommend Mint's services, so I hope that Canadian financial institutions are added shortly.
+1 for Canada

[skube]

Doggabone, what is the other site which does support Canada? If Mint isn't doing it, might as well go with someone who does.

I suppose the main reason Mint hasn't added Canadian support yet, is that the market simply isn't big enough to warrant the extra resources required. Especially, for a free site with attention to quality.

[rachael24]

I think Canada helps us out alot in every form of business we do. I def. support them!

[DeeBeeTee]

This seems to be the standard process, right?

Would love to be involved when Canadian access becomes available.

[mdesandoli]

Another vote for Canada!

[Shoeb]

As you can see, Mint administrators, many people signed up to the forum _just_ to tell you to add support to Canada.

I'm doing the same.
Canada please.

Come on, even AAA beef is considered "North American", not "American" or "Canadian".

There's new guys coming out here in the market, but we're all waiting to see what Mint has to offer for us to actually jump on the financial management bandwagon.

[sammyQc]

Hi guys I just signed up to the forum to vote for a Canadian access ! Keep up and please let us know when this is coming out up in the north ;)

[antorome]

Hi,

I guess that if you don't have support for Canada you won't have it ofr Europe right???

When looking for banks in the mint app, if I inser "spain" i get some real small banks from my country. I couldn't check it since I don't have accounts there...

Are you looking for people/contacts in other countries? I could help here...

[Roth]

Another vote for Canadian support here.

I've got to say... incredible looking interface. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test out much of the functionality, as I am Canadian, but it's really quite incredible looking

[eric1985]

Canada is not really a country.

(Just kidding Canadians)

[Roth]

One reason adding Canada would likely be the easiest of any international company is that we only have around 5 major banks. Some of those banks are actually in the U.S. as well (I see CIBC Financial and Toronto Dominion in the U.S. bank list).

You basically just need to add support for

- Scotiabank
- TD Canada Trust
- Bank of Montreal
- CIBC
- Royal Bank of Canada

Those are the banks that everyone uses. The only others are just American banks like Citibank, but I believe they only offer services such as credit cards and financial investements.

It'd be a great deal easier than adding all those tiny little banks all over the United States, and you'd instantly have access to 30+ million potential users.

[eric1985]

There's not 30 million people in Canada.

[operatorx]

+1 on the Canada list, thanks. :)

[Roth]

There's not 30 million people in Canada.
http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/popdwell/Table.cfm?T=101

31,612,897 total according to the 2006 Census

[eric1985]

LOL. Good to know. (You do realise I was joking. Thanks to South Park for my anti-Canada fuel.)

[virage]

One more request for Canada access. Willing to beta test, etc.

[Maffiou]

Hey there,

I signed up a long time ago, and I'm still waiting for uk or european bank support...

My personal finances are in such a state, I'm not sure I can wait much longer...

I read somewhere that this was announced for the second part of 2008, is this still the plan ? That should be pretty soon !

I'm also willing to test beta's...

Maffiou

[kungfuice]

+1 for Canada, we really need something like this.

[mamedina77]

Please let me know if you plan to expand your services to Mexico. I work for a brokerage firm in Mexico but I'm also sarting in the personal finance coaching. I'd be glad to cooperate with you if you plan to include mexican financial institutions.
Thanks!!

[1up]

I signed up for the sole purpose of showing my support for bringing the service to Canada. I've been using Wesabe for the last little while, and it's actually pretty good, but it's pretty clear that Mint is at a different level. This may be a bit of a stretch, but it seems to me like it's the Wii Fit of financing, in that it makes doing finances surprisingly fun.

I really wouldn't even mind manually uploading transaction files until you guys pen deals with the banks, it's what I have to do now anyways and it's not a huge deal. And really, we don't have very many banks to begin with.

I'm sure you guys are busy as it is, but please keep your neighbours to the north in mind :)

[descott]

Another vote for Canada. I signed up here solely for the purpose of expressing my interest (and well, need) of a good online banking service in canada that can handle multiple institutions.

(namely, CIBC, MBNA, and TD)

[Cyril]

Thank you for requesting to add Canadian Banks in Mint.

Currently Mint only supports US based financial institutions. We do plan to support financial institutions outside US (i.e. Canada, UK, Australia ). We’re tabulating the said request. Please keep an eye at http://forums.mint.com/ under Mint Announcements for regular product updates and announcements.

[Britpick]

Cyril, thanks for the continuing updates, though I live in the US these days I still have accounts and investments in the UK and look forward to having them added soon.

Regards
Chris

[batsi]

Without adding the direct link to the banks... how about adding import functions e.g. where we can download quicken/money files from our canadian banks... and upload/import those files into Mint.com so we can still do our budgeting/envelopes, etc... while we wait for the direct link to the banks...

Or do a paid version... for Canadians... I understand it would be hard to promote Canadian solutions right now but a paid solution with an import tool for transactions would be great... http://forums.mint.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[mburdsall]

I'm another American who has lived overseas for a number of years and have a number of accounts in foreign institutions. If you are not able to support those institutions it would be nice to have manual accounts so that we could maintain those accounts within Mint and see it as part of our networth. this would be a baby step towards the final solution.

If the manual account could account for:


Currency code with converions (Maybe automatch to an onlince conversion tool)
Stock ticker
ability to designate an account cash/investment/asset/liability/credit card

[schnitzelboy]

I would happily pay a nominal fee for Mint.com if it means it works in Canada.

[A3sthetix]

I'm another Canadian requiring something like this.

Does anyone know of an alternative server that does work in Canada?

I would happily pay a nominal fee for Mint.com if it means it works in Canada.
Agreed... especially with the iPhone integration available.

[MichelleMade]

It would be great to see some support for Australian banks too!

[twillsie]

+1 for Canada

By the way, Just thought I'd mention but mint.com was mention on Global Calgary News as one of the 10 most popular tech products and services.

Which surprises me, because you don't even support Canada. Come on mint, you're on our news but you don't even support us.

(News broadcast was on Wednesday December 17th, 2008 at 6:00pm MST on Global News Channel 7 on Shaw Cable in case you want to look it up)

[mburdsall]

I think the group that reals needs to support Canada and other countries is not Mint but Yodlee. Yodlee is the platform that supplied the integration to the financial institutions for Mint. They will need to support foreign institutions before Mint is able.

[pigman]

mburdsall, yodlee has supported canada for over a year, i have used it will all my canadian institutions with no problem... I just want the extra features of mint, and the iphone app!

[pick]

Here in Canada we have to wait years for things like Tivo or iTunes movie store. We're hoping for Hulu by 2012. The Canadian people would be very appreciative if we could get Mint.com before we get Hulu.

Thanks, Adam

[Atticka]

+1 for Canada!

Looks like an amazing setup, the iPhone app makes this a killer setup.

[mburdsall]

Even if Mint cannot support the insitutions in other countries, it would be great if they allowed manual accounts that accomodaited currency codes. This way at least I could enter my foreign holdings into a manual account and have the updated and converted from an account currency to a main currency. For example, I could declare the USD my main currency and then any other account when doing reporting would be changed from the account currrency to the main currency.

Ths would help me because I have a number of bank accounts in Europe and Asia and today I cannot include them i my networth calculations in Mint.

I have a Yodlee account and they at least provide manual accounts. They also do not provide curency code and therefore this would be step ahead of Yodlee if Mint was able to provide this feature.

[maciek]

+1 for Canada, and with a good reason too. Canadians are much more enthusiastic for cool new stuff on the net than Americans are. You can quickly grab a bigger Canadian market share than you would think compared to an American market share. Have a look at Facebook's success in Canada over the U.S. for example:
http://is.gd/eJdd

[dawson865]

+1 for Australia. This is something I have been searching for for years - and something that all my friends would love to use.

I don't think the regulations would be too much of a problem if there was a carefully worded TOC.

ps. if anyone knows of any other app with a similar set of functions that supports aus?

[adamnstewart]

One more from Canada. And more for the case: Canadian are early adopters in banking technology. Paying by debit card (Interac) was widely available and in use in Canada well before the US.

Does anyone from Mint.com still read this thread? I haven't seen a response from Damon to the thread for over a year.

[Stephen]

Hi adamnstewart,

We don't have any updates to share regarding Canadian and other non US based financial institution support. We realize there is demand and we're still growing. As Director of Customer Advocacy I would love to support the entire planet! You'll definitely know when and if we support Canadian financial institutions.

[Roth]

I would definitely pay a fee to use Mint in Canada.

Hell I'd volunteer as a developer to make it happen hehe. So ansy to be able to use this site.

[mburdsall]

has there been any discussion with creating API's for Mint?

[mintfeedback]

Just here from what I understand.

I see it has ANZ and Westpac (NZ), but not westpac across the tasman.

[odele]

My bank is listed on the options. I cannot add my

I cannot also add my emigrant direct account. Please someone help

[JedMeister]

I've heard a little about mint but only just come for a look. I'm so gutted you don't support Australia yet! I must admit I'm tempted to put in a bogus (US) postal code so I can at least have a good look at it!:rolleyes: Would that upset you admins if I did that? If you are cool with me doing that what would be a good one to use?:confused:

[edit] PS the mint.com website, including this forum is really slick! Good work peoples!

[chrislloyd]

I signed up for this forum just to say +1 for Australia. We need something like Mint over here.

[thmcmahon]

+1 Australia here too.

[Len]

Currently Mint only supports US-based financial institutions. We do plan to support financial institutions based outside of the US but we still don't have a time frame for that. Factors that come into play with our providers and adding banks are size of bank, assets held by bank and login security requirements.

Please always check our forums for updates.

[wilco83]

The Canadian banking system really is not that complex. Adding the major banks (CIBC, TD, RBC, HSBC, BMO) probably covers off a majority of Canadians.

Thrive (www.justthrive.com) let's you add Canadian bank accounts, but it's soooo slow and very underdeveloped compared to mint.

Come on guys... please....

[JedMeister]

Even if I had to import my data manually until you get it fully sorted. I would be happy with that.

All the banks I use allow you to manually export data as MS Money, Quicken or MYOB formats.

Just give a postcode (that doesn't exist) and so all us non-USA people can at least start having a go at it!

Please please, please!!:D

[Ezze]

I heard about Mint via diggnation and just wanted to say I was psyched till I found out your not doing Canada yet!

Hope that will be a viable option cause I want to use Mint with my iphone.

Mint is taking forever to add Canadian banks -and given their biz model - it has little incentive to do it.

I just found a fantastic alternative - Quicken Online. It has all the great features, iphone app, and once you enter in a dummy zip code... it can connect to most Canadian banks... the only one I haven't found is ING Direct.

Here is the link: http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jsp

Anyways - have fun... been using it, and I love it.
Haven't thought much about Mint since signing up with Quicken...

What's interesting is that Mint used to allow Canadian accounts. My coworkers has Royal Bank added to his account. Yes, the Canadian Royal Bank. This isn't hearsay, as I've seen it personally.

I think Mint.com accepted a few Canadians to beta test some things and then removed the account. No idea why they'd do that though. And yea, his accounts update and everything just fine, so it does work.

[Roth]

Theres been a lot of discussion about Mint in the business community in Ottawa, and I think theres a huge potential market in Canada that Mint is really missing out on.

Most people I've spoken with would pay for the services Mint.com offers, and theres only 5 major banks to add for Canadian banking... compared to the number of banks they currently have for the United States, that is a tiny amount of work with the potential to increase their userbase by 10% (Canada has 10% of the population of the United States)

It might even be worth the while to try a paid business model for Canada, as a test market.

I think Mint should be all over this... its a no brainer.

[bradmitshell]

I waited over two months for the invitation to the beta. I guess could wait a little longer ;).

Speaking as a web designer with a penchant for web apps, I'm thoroughly impressed with what I've seen so far. I can't wait to see the rest!

What to do? just be more patient.

This thread has been open for at least 2 years. In that time, you'd think that there would be some canuck enterprising enough to make their own web service to fill the gaping maw that is the Canadian online banking/finance market.

Instead Canadians are content to whine and beg. Since when has it been acceptable adult behaviour to solve your problems by holding your hand out?

My guess is that they haven't bothered with Canada because of one or more of the following:

Canada is tiny market, equivalent to perhaps 1/10th that of the domestic US market
Assuming the market was large enough to become a priority, it's populated primarily by America-hating technophobes that use the internet much less frequently than 'those stupid americans'
The grossly overbearing Canadian regulatory system discourages innovation in banking and/or the internet, and opens a whole new legal/regulatory can of worms for Mint, and the only thing worse than a lawyer is a candian lawyer.


PS: I wish the editors of this site would *** out cuss words.

DISCLAIMER: I was born in the United States, but reside in Canada and hence have dual-citizenship.

I have been watching Mint for a while. Although I am disappointed Mint hasn't been able to incorporate the Canadian banks, I am looking forward to the day they do so that I can try it out.

In the mean time, I have been using Wesabe and manually uploading some of my transactions. Quicken Online allows synching with Canadian banks (including PC Financial) and so perhaps Canada will be included soon. Currently, I'm staying away from Quicken Online since the interface is garbage.

To say that there isn't some enterprising Canadian capable enough to create their own web service is vastly ignorant since there are already other options available. Furthermore, to create such a service is more than trivial.

Not all Canadians are whining and begging. In fact, most are new to the forums and most have been asking politely.

Your statement about Canadians using the internet less frequently than Americans is also misleading. On a per-capita basis, Canada is above the United States in that regard.

Lastly, the "grossly overbearing Canadian regulatoy system" is what kept Canadian banks out of the crap that led to the United States financial collapse.

Please keep your un-informed verbal diarrhea out of the thread as it is certainly not constructive.

[bentonjm]

Grossly overbearing banking regulation? Read your own Newsweek article on a "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative":

"Guess which country, alone in the industrialized world, has not faced a single bank failure, calls for bailouts or government intervention in the financial or mortgage sectors. Yup, it's Canada. In 2008, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada's banking system the healthiest in the world. America's ranked 40th, Britain's 44th.

"Canada has done more than survive this financial crisis. The country is positively thriving in it. Canadian banks are well capitalized and poised to take advantage of opportunities that American and European banks cannot seize. The Toronto Dominion Bank, for example, was the 15th-largest bank in North America one year ago. Now it is the fifth-largest. It hasn't grown in size; the others have all shrunk.

"So what accounts for the genius of the Canadians? Common sense. Over the past 15 years, as the United States and Europe loosened regulations on their financial industries, the Canadians refused to follow suit, seeing the old rules as useful shock absorbers.[...]"

Actually, there are lots of programs that can fill the void for Canadians. Yodlee for instance, is a great application and has much more in depth financial analysis and covers Canadian and American Banks. But Mint.com is in it's own league. The UI has no comparison other than maybe Quicken Mobile, but as I'm sure you already know the two have become one.

If Canadians don't push for great software like Mint.com to reach Canada, chances are it won't, and never will. Living in the States has its perks. One of which is that you'll never really have to ask for anything, including software companies to "come to the States" because logically, they just will if they want a piece of 250mil population. So excuse us for asking nicely.

I have been waiting for almost 2 years now for Mint to start suporting Canadian financial institutions. I will now probably try out other options but the Mint interface is really good. I hope they include Canada soon in their plans.

:( It looks like quicken online may be being replaced with mint.com and that would be a bad thing because quicken supports many Canadian banks and mint.com supports none. Please add support. If its the money conversion that is holding this back just forget it and add that in as a future update Canada to US dollar is almost at par anyways. PLEASE PLEASE add Canadian banks!!!

Canadian's may also be interested in wesabe.com which supports Canadian banks. Shame on you mint! why has this taken so long?

I AM A waiting CANADIAN!

I AM A patient CANADIAN!

Please can you make it happen now and I would like to get started on my budget but of course my choices were Mint.com or QuickenOnline.com but of course one bought the other and now I have two choices, neither of which cater to my nationality now :(

Please oh please make this happen in February or before.

I would love to know why no one of the forum support team from Mint.com have commented lately on this thread. I know that Quicken has now purchased Mint so please can you provide some sort of rough estimate other than 'in the new year' which is the only update information out there currently.

Are we thinking this week, this year, this century?

I can't hold my breath much longer and I really, REALLY want to be a part of this company, website and phenomenon! Please?
