How they describe themselves:
Wesabe (www.wesabe.com) provides a free, online money management tool that lets
members see all their bank and credit card balances and transactions in one place, as well
as ways to get the most value for their money. The Wesabe community shares advice and
information to help each other make better financial decisions and achieve money-related
goals. Wesabe has well over 100,000 members, and supports more than 6,000 financial
institutions in 30 countries.
What they think makes them better: Wesabe has by far the most active and engaged community in the online financial
management space. In addition, the company gives its members the most choice and
control when it comes to their data. Users can choose between four data upload methods,
and Wesabe does *not* use a third-party aggregation vendor, believing this would be
giving up too much control over member data. Our industry-leading Data Bill of Rights
clearly states that member data belongs to our members. Wesabe also has an API,
allowing developers to customize their own money management applications.
