US Banks That Offer Transaction History?
wirelessdreamer writes "I use a bank in the US that will only allow me to download transaction history in CSV for the previous three months. I have a hard time remembering to pull my transaction history down every three months, and would gladly jump ship to another bank if there is one that lets me download, say three years' worth of transaction history as one of the standard services. Then I can import my data into MySQL and run some reports on it, which is all I'm looking for." What banks out there do the best job at providing users with simple, downloadable data?
Digital Federal Credit Union seems to let one pull for as long as they have been a member. And they have multiple formats!
Mint.com is pretty great for connecting to whatever bank you have and it'll download your reports and also automatic categorization. I have almost 2 years of data in it, and they let you download it all CSV. It also has me in the habit of checking all of my accounts once a week, by just logging onto one website. Nice way to be on top of anything that might be fraudulent.
I think submitter should discover something called a "calendar" and write "download bank data" every three months.
He could even use an electronic, automated, free calendar like the one Google offers, and have reminders sent to his email/phone.
One of them gave me a stack of post-dated checks on which I highlighted the date to avoid confusion and even went so far as to confirm the teller knew they were post-dated
I would love to hear your thoughts on how this could have been prevented from our end.
Not giving post dated checks to the bank?
