Personal-Finance Site Mint Expands to Allow More Banks

(WSJ.com) — Starting Monday, personal-finance site Mint.com will double the number of financial institutions from which it can receive account information. The change is important for Mint as the site seeks to expand beyond its core base and address the regular complaint that specific financial institutions aren’t listed. The site will provide access to more users than just those who use banking juggernauts like Bank of America, Citibank or HSBC, for example. It’s an especially timely development, as many consumers are reconsidering their relationships with financial institutions.
