Hi, I’m after a budgeting software where I can login to my bank account using open banking/midata or another service that will live integrate with my bank account. Does that exist? I’ve checked out Firefly iii, actual, and openbudgeteer but I can’t see anywhere that suggests what I want is a feature. Have I missed anything, or is there a software which has this feature that I’ve missed?
I’m based in the UK if that helps at all.
Do you think your bank provides a free and open API that can be used by such a tool? Unlikely.
It’s what open banking or midata is in the UK…
I quickly looked up midata and it seems like a government “standard” so banks can provide your account data as a uniform downloadable format.
But you are asking for “live integration” which is very different.
Check Actual Budget. It’s very simple to set up compared to Firefly iii.
Edit: it has GoCardless integration https://actualbudget.org/docs/advanced/bank-sync#link-accounts-with-gocardless
