Personal Finance Management 2.0 Banks “ It's nice to see a bank who's at least thinking about people in their 20s. That said, it's just so far from complete. On Mint, we see that 55% of our users have student loans. 95% have accounts with other institutions. Until banks provide an elegant system for pulling all your information together in one place, accurately showing your spending and cashflows so that you budget and save, and show you (objectively) ways you can save money, I'm not too worried.” Aaron Patzer, Founder & CEO, Mint.com Source: www.netbanker.com (July 2008) Startups / Communities / Vendors www.Visible-Banking.com
